DIY your trip to Yilan with guides
and itineraries by local experts

Taiwan has a varied topography, ranging from plains, basins, and hills to coastlines. It is especially rich in mountain and forest resources. Its mountainous areas cover about 73.64% of the area, and alpine regions with altitudes above 1,000 meters account for 46.73%. This small island has seven mountain ranges, including Jade Mountain, the highest peak in East Asia. Therefore, the government has built many beautiful and unique trails for tourists to go and learn about the importance of ecological conservation and get close to nature. On the basis of these forest activities, this guide lists popular trails in Taiwan that beginners can easily access to the mountains and forests for your reference. Each trail is suitable for those who love nature, want to get away from the hustle and bustle, and love hiking. Before reading the guide, I would like to add that since most of the trails are in the suburbs, you need to drive there. If you do not have a car, the guide also lists trails that can be reached by public transportation to meet different needs. Please evaluate your needs when planning your itinerary. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask 😁
