Cimu Peak Hiking Trail Introduction
The Pingxi area in New Taipei City is surrounded by peaks, with over 20 hills collectively known as "Ershisi Xiaoshan" (Twenty-four Filial Piety Mountain). Among them, there are three famous mountains: Mount Filial Piety, Mount Maternal Love, and Mount Putuo. Although they appear daunting and hard to climb, fortunately, there are man-made rock stairs on the steep and rugged ridges, as well as ropes and railings for support, which attract many hikers. The trail begins at the hiking entrance of Shidi Bridge, passing through a low-altitude broadleaf forest gorge to the crossroads where three peaks meet. To the left is Mount Filial Piety, to the right is Mount Putuo, and straight ahead leads to Mount Maternal Love. Mount Maternal Love stands at an elevation of 410 meters, and from its summit, one can continue north to reach the other prominent peak, Mount Putuo.
