WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN HIKING WULIAOJIAN?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wuliaojian is one of our favourite hike near Taipei. It has everything! \u00a0It is challenging, a great full body workout, you have ropes to climb rocks, exhilarating and frightening ridges and amasing view on New Taipei City. You will definitely NOT get bored during this hike and be so proud of yourself after you\u2019ve completed it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to take enough water, I would recommend at least 1.5L per person (more on sunny and warm days!), some snacks, and mosquito repellent or you will be eaten alive! I promise the Mosquitoes at Wuliaojian are real ninjas!<\/span><\/p>\n

DIFICULTY OF THE HIKE?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This hike is demanding (4\/5). You have some really steep part on rough terrain. You need to climb or scale down a rock face. This hike is not to be taken lightly. You don’t need to be a professional climber\/hiker, in my opinion everybody in good physical condition can do it. However be well prepared for a hardcore, legs- arms stretching and tiring as hell, 5 to 6 hour hike. I would just not attempt it if you are afraid of heights or scaling yourself down a rock.<\/span><\/p>\n

HOW LONG?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The whole hike takes about 5:30 hours but if you get too tired there is a short cut to the exit at some point so you don\u2019t have to climb the Wuliaojian peak.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note that there is a small shop next to the trailhead where you can buy snacks or drinks. They also sell gloves. If you are prone to blisters, I would recommend buying them. They are only 30NTD and worth it as you\u2019ll have to grab a lot of rope to climb or scale down.<\/span><\/p>\n

HOW FAR FROM TAIPEI?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not the most easily accessible hike as the public transportation to the trailhead are infrequent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Car or scooter<\/span>:<\/span> +\/- 50 min starting around Ximen.<\/span><\/p>\n

MRT + taxis<\/span><\/span>:<\/span> +\/- 45 min starting at Ximen (25 min MRT from Ximen to Dingpu station + 15 min taxis drive from Dingpu to the trailhead).<\/span><\/p>\n

MRT + bus:<\/span><\/span> +\/-1h10 starting at Ximen MRt station (25 min from Ximen to Dingpu Station + 20 min in bus 812 + 25 min in bus 807) BUT The waiting time for the bus is not computed in the 1h10! The 807 bus is not frequent you might have to wait 2 hours for the bus to arrive.<\/span><\/p>\n

HOW TO GET THERE?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
