TAIPEI (Taiwan News)–I went hiking on the Bitou Cap Trail (鼻頭角步道) yesterday (Sept. 9) and enjoyed the satisfaction the trip gave me from the beginning till the end despite the sultry weather that left me drenched in sweat. The one big reason why it is a super trip has everything to do with the unparalleled scenery along the trail.

I drove along Taiwan’s Northeast Coast, which is full of stunning landscapes, on Provincial Highway No. 2 in the afternoon, and arrived at Bitou Fishing Port around 2:30 p.m. I started hiking on the trail, which is a perfect circular route, from the entrance beside the fishing port. Many people start hiking from the Bitou Elementary School entrance.

The stone-paved trail is about 2 km long and takes about two hours to complete, including time out for photo taking and resting.    [FULL  STORY]
