Wuliaojian Trail Introduction
Wuliao Mountain, located in the Sanxia District of New Taipei City, has an elevation of 639 meters. Wuliao Mountain is also known as Coalesce Mountain or Phoenix Hair Mountain, named for its shape resembling five rising peaks resembling fists. It is one of the three major rock climbing sites in northern Taiwan, alongside Bijiashan and Huangdidian. The climbing process provides a heightened sensory experience where various common hiking terrain obstacles can be encountered. As you climb Wuliao Mountain, there are sections that require the use of ropes and rock climbing to reach the summit. One part known as the Cliff of the Brave features a steep cliff with an incline of about 70 to 80 degrees and a depth of over 30 meters. This part is approximately 30 meters long, with sheer cliffs on both sides and no vegetation, requiring careful navigation. The summit offers a wide view where one can see Sanxia, Yingge, and Shulin areas in the distance.
