Sitou/Xitou Forest

Taiwan is a country that will surprise you with it’s subtropical beauty.

Visitors from Mainland China let us hop in the photo. I’m in back right with the brown hair 🙂

Lion’s Head Mountain – Taipei. 

For this hike I was able to take the Taipei metro and a short walk to the trailhead; It felt like a secret city escape.

A house passed on the trail.

Viewpoint

And dumbbells, also interesting. I wondered who brought this all the way up on a trail?

Found next to the dumbbells

Found a mirror on my hike, interesting.

I was aptly prepared with my hiking sandals. In all honesty they weren’t too bad!
