Huoyanshan Southern Saddle Ancient Trail Introduction
The Flame Mountain is a rare badlands geological wonder in Taiwan, characterized by exposed rock layers and sparse vegetation. The cliffs, with their bright red color, resemble an alien planet, and from a distance, they appear to be blazing flames, making one feel as if they have entered a "lunar world." It is often referred to as Taiwan's version of the Grand Canyon. With an elevation of 602 meters, the trails are mostly constructed of dirt and stone steps, primarily consisting of uphill sections. However, the paths are largely shaded by trees, providing a cool and comfortable walking experience. Some sections, though, are narrow and steep, and due to seismic vulnerability, they offer a thrilling experience akin to walking on the edge of a cliff, giving rise to the feeling of "not being alarmed."
