Cimu Peak Trail Introduction
The Pingxi area in New Taipei City is surrounded by mountains, with more than 20 peaks collectively known as "the Twenty-Four Filial Piety Mountains." Among them are three famous peaks: Mount Xiaozi, Mount Cimu, and Mount Putuo, which appear to be perilous to climb. Fortunately, there are man-made rock steps carved into the steep, hard ridges, along with ropes and iron railings to assist climbers, attracting many hikers. The trail begins at the trailhead of Shiditiao Bridge, passing through a low-elevation broadleaf forest valley to reach a crossroad where three peaks converge: left leads to Mount Xiaozi, right to Mount Putuo, and straight ahead leads to Mount Cimu. Mount Cimu has an elevation of 410 meters, and from its summit, visitors can proceed north to reach the nearby peak of Mount Putuo.
