Top Mountains in Southern Taiwan

My advice is to bring snacks and plenty of water, but also a little extra cash. Some local vendors might pop up and you can grab some yummy street food or drinks that are worth every penny!

I suggest downloading maps on your phone beforehand. Signal can get spotty up there, and getting lost is not fun. Trust me, I wandered off trail and it took ages to get back on track!

I think it's smart to wear layers. The weather can change quick! I was freezing in the morning but by noon it felt like summer, so you're gonna wanna be prepared for anything

I recommend starting your hike around 6 AM. The early morning views are stunning, and you’ll avoid the bigger crowds and midday heat. Plus, sunrise up here is just magical!

I recommend checking the weather before you go. It was super foggy when I visited, and I missed out on the amazing views. A clear day would be so much better!

My advice is to wear sturdy shoes! The trail can get a bit slippery, especially after rain; I regretted my choice of flip-flops halfway up.
