Bitoujiao Trail

Cool round trip through tropical lush forest. Easily walkable. A bit more difficult at 36deg, but doable with a lot of water. Note - almost no shade. But the cafe at the middle in the military bunker was nice. Cash only!

We went as a family of 6 (3 adults, 1 senior and 2 kids aged 7 and 8), brought a hiking stick as well which helped immensely. Did plenty of stops at the various pavilions taking pictures and with breaks in between, including a 45 minute rest at the cafe. Spent a total of 3 hours so it can easily be done in half the time. There was also a large group of local tour group of Taiwanese retirees hiking. Not easiest climb but the views are absolutely spectacular and worth it! The stairs and roads are very well maintained so it's generally very safe. Started from the port and ended at the primary school. If you start at the port, it's a steep climb up with steps immediately, gentler up a slope if you start at the primary school. Either way, it is a loop. There is parking there in the area at the start/end that you will have to walk abit to get to the start. There is a cafe at the midway point that you have to walk down a good amount of steps and come up again to continue the trail. Bring lots of sunscreen and sun protection!!! Ideally, a UV umbrella as well. There are seafood restaurants at the base where you can have lunch after as well.

Took the train from taipei main station to ruifang station and then bus 856/ taxi to the trail cape and it took about 1.5-2hours. But it is totally worth it! the view is amazing with clear sky and coastal view. You can also see keelung islet from the viewing point. The trail is also easy with proper steps and boardwalk. Highly recommend!!

It’s a great hike with AWESOME views except that we did ours at around 10 am so if I were to do this again, I’d make sure to schedule in the afternoon or come in a season when the temperature drops. Bring lots of water. Other than that, a camera to take tons of pictures 😄

Amazing trail! Its quite short but the views are spectacular. I did it around midday and naturally was very hot so would recommend to cover yourself or go at a less hot time of day.

Short but nice trail with a splendid view of the ocean. There is no shadow so I would recommend you to bring sunscreen with you.

One of the best hiking trail you can ever find in Taipei 👍 Head over only when the weather is sunny and bright to get the best view of the mountains and oceans! Don’t forget to visit the cafe in the middle of the hiking trail 👍 The staffs there are very friendly and kind. Coffee and Waffles are amazing too!

Beautiful trail. Stunning ocean and mountain view. The trail is only about 2km and makes a perfect loop that only takes about 1 hour to complete. The view on top of the mountain is just stunning as the slope slightly leaning toward the deep blue ocean. This trail is only a short distance from Jiufen and Ruifang, and driving back to Taipei is only 40 minutes
