Jialishan Trail — Attraction in Nanzhuang

It's a very challenging hike. You have to be physically fit and agile to make it to the top. The terrain is mostly tree roots and foliage for the first 80% of the ascent, but the last 20% or so is mostly steep rock climbing, with the aid of ropes. It's not easy at all. You need good shoes, good fitness, and good balance. I went just after it rained, so it was slippery and muddy, which made it even more difficult. There's no car park per se, but I parked about 100m from the trail entrance and got charged $100 by some guy to park there. There's a bathroom near the trail entrance, but not thereafter. The hike took me just under 5 hours there and back (a little under 11km), with a few stops for water and snacks. The view at the top was pretty much non-existent, due to the cloudy weather. I'd suggest arriving early to avoid the crowds. I started just before 7am and it was a little crowded, and car park spaces were getting...

There is a point where you have to cross a river, on the way back it had gotten so wetthat it was impossible to cross without soaking our feet. There was (paid) parking and a bathroom at...

This mountain is amazing. Very good to enjoy your day. We started at 8.15 AM from parking and finished at 3.30 PM. Good path to talk just many roots on the way. Climbing only at the top 500 Meters. Beautiful view. All the time walking under shades. Need more water at list 3 liters or more. Really recommend to hike this mountain. We went there just for view and enjoy our December 30th. You also camp there. Many camping areas. Good parking. Small toilet. Restaurant. Small Coffee center.Easy to find. Way is little bit broken to reach the parking but it’s ok. Please go there finding good weather. Not recommended in rain because...
