Xiao Zi Shan (孝子山平溪) Hiking Trail

Well this time I’m gonna review about yesterday hiking. This one to Xiaozi Shan (孝子山) and the start up trail is located near by  Pingxi (平溪) old street, Taiwan. so you can enjoy to fly lantern in pingxi old street once you finish hiking.

Xiaozi mountain has two neighbour peaks; Cimu peak (慈母山) and Zhongyang  peak where each peaks has different kind of difficulty.They all have sheer-rock faced peaks with awesome views of the surrounding mountains and the Pingxi valley.

 

Guide to the hiking trail

First peak : Xiaozi Shan

 

The hiking trail start from here. it’s quite difficult to find since there is no any sign. But actually it is located right beside public rest room with small water fall beside it and just across from pingxi station

How to get there
