Huo Yan Mountain Nan'an Ancient Trail O Walk Introduction

Huoyan Mountain is a rare badlands landscape in Taiwan. The rock layers are exposed on the peaks, with little vegetation, and the reddish cliffs resemble an alien planet. From a distance, it appears as if a blazing fire is burning, creating an illusion of entering a "lunar world," which has earned it the nickname "Taiwan's Grand Canyon." Huoyan Mountain stands at 602 meters, and the trails are mostly made of dirt and stone steps. The route is predominantly uphill but shaded by forests, providing a cool and comfortable hike. However, some sections are narrow and steep, and due to seismic activity, one can experience the thrill of walking on a "precipice."
