Taipei Attractions

獅公髻尾山登山步道茶園

Shigong Jiaowei Mountain, also known as Huoshao Liao Mountain, is the highest peak in the Shiding Mountain Range. The summit is adorned with tall miscanthus grass, where wild boars occasionally hide, interrupting the hiking enjoyment of mountain-goers. Due to earlier development on the southern slope, one can overlook the intertwining tea plantations and terraced fields from Pinglin District, which are layered and stacked on one another. From the direction of Yugu Village in Shiding District to the north, a vast expanse of forest appears like an ocean; the view is dominated by overlapping peaks, often shrouded in clouds and mist, softening the mountain's masculine presence, giving it a particularly gentle appearance.

Shigongji Tail Mountain Trail Introduction

Located at the junction of Pingxi, Pinglin, and Shiding Districts in New Taipei City, Shigong Jiao Wei Mountain is the source of the Keelung River, Beishi River, and Xindian River. It is named for its resemblance to the hair bun of a Taoist priest when viewed from a distance (Shigong in Taiwanese), and is also known as Huoshaoliao Mountain. It is the highest peak among the Shiding Mountain Range. Most visitors begin their journey from the historic Nanshan Temple (commonly known as Xiangong Temple), where they can enjoy the view of the sea of clouds, tea gardens, and Dazhong Lake. By following the winding industrial road, one can reach the trailhead and easily ascend Shigong Jiao Wei Mountain, which offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Pinglin, Jiufen, Shuangxi peaks, and Beishi River. In another direction, one can overlook the Emperor's Palace, Qixing Mountain, Datun Mountain, Guanyin Mountain, and Taipei 101. This hiking trail is suitable for all ages, offering opportunities for enjoying the sunrise, night views, and appreciating the autumn scenery.
