Wuliao Jian Hiking Trail Introduction
Wu Liaojian, located in the Sanxia District of New Taipei City, has an elevation of 639 meters. It is also known as Coalesce Mountain or Fengji Mountain, named for its shape resembling five rocky peaks that rise and fall like fists. It is one of the three major climbing areas in northern Taiwan, alongside Bijia Mountain and Huangdi Temple. The climbing process provides a heightened sensory experience, as various common terrain obstacles can be encountered. During the ascent of Wu Liaojian, climbers often need to use ropes and engage in rock climbing to reach the summit. One section, known as the Cliff of Heroic Peaks, features a sheer drop of about thirty meters with a slope of seventy to eighty degrees, characterized by a cliff where vegetation does not grow, creating abysses on both sides. Caution is essential while traversing this area. The summit offers a wide panoramic view, allowing visibility to Sanxia, Yingge, Shulin, and surrounding regions.
