Ghost Mountain Trail Introduction
Guizheshan Trail (also known as Xiong Tou Mountain) is a serene mountain path that blends nature with culture, located in the He Ping Village of Wufeng Township, Hsinchu County. The trail, approximately 1.8 kilometers one way and about 2.5 hours round trip, is suitable for families and is an excellent choice for beginner hikers exploring the beauty of the mountains. Along the trail, straight cedar trees and swaying bamboo greet every traveler like a green tunnel. Walking under the shade, you may often see squirrels leaping on branches, bamboo chickens startling nearby, and various butterflies dancing around. In spring and summer, you might even encounter emerging wild bamboo shoots. This is not just a hiking trail but a living classroom of the forest. At the altitude of 1,030 meters, visitors can overlook He Ping Village, the Wufeng mountain ranges, and Wuzhi Mountain, and on clear days, the layered mountains create picturesque views. When enveloped in clouds and mist, it feels like a fairyland, tranquil and healing. Whether you simply want to breathe in the phytoncide of the forest or desire an ecologically surprising walk in the mountains, Guizheshan Trail can fulfill all your expectations of nature. It is a hidden gem in northern Taiwan that deserves to be explored slowly and savored. ----- Guizheshan Trail ----- Type: Suburban Trail Difficulty: Low-Medium Length: 1.8 kilometers one way Surface Conditions: Concrete industrial road, dirt leaf-covered path Trailhead: He Ping Village, Wufeng Township (at the bend of He Ping Agricultural Road)
