Shichisei Mountain — Local services in Taipei

Taipei's highest mountain has great trails but mostly exposed to direct sunlight. As i climb the mountain, I love to look back at the trails I left behind and it makes me excited to move on to get to the peak.

If you are fit you can do the whole trail from Lengshuikeng to Xiaoyoujeng in less than 2:00 hours but plan more time as there are nice viewpoints on the way...
