Datong Mountain Hiking Trail Introduction
Datong Mountain has an elevation of 237 meters and is a hill located on the southeastern ridge extending from Daping Mountain, just north of the Shanjia Station. It is known as the "back garden" of the forest area. The hiking trails on Datong Mountain consist of stairs, primitive paths, and cement paths, with three main routes that ultimately converge at Qinglong Ridge. Two of the trailheads are not far from Shulin Station and Shanjia Station, making it accessible by Taiwan Railways for hiking. The trails are shaded by dense greenery, featuring a gentle up-and-down terrain. The viewing platform at the summit offers an excellent panoramic view of the entire Taipei and New Taipei metropolitan area.
