I recently hiked the Shou Shan Trail in Kaohsiung, and it was an exceptional experience. The trail offers a blend of challenging terrain and rewarding views, making it ideal for both seasoned hikers and those looking for a scenic outing.
The hike takes you through lush forested paths and rocky sections, culminating in stunning panoramic views of Kaohsiung city and the surrounding landscape from the summit. The trail is well-marked and maintained, with ample signs and resting spots along the way, and do take note of the monkey 🐒 too.
The natural beauty and tranquility of Shou Shan are impressive, providing a refreshing escape from the city hustle. Wildlife sightings, including various bird species, added to the hike's charm. The cooler temperatures at the higher elevations made for a comfortable trek, even on warmer days.

Shou Shan Hiking Trial
The one and only hiking spot that is quite challenging that we managed to find in Kao Hsiung. We took it as a warmup for our Yang Ming Shan hike in the next few days when we go to Taipei. First hand experience of being attacked by a monkey because of the food we brought along. Intended to have a feel of eating in the mountains but unable to. Then the locals advise we finished the food before climbing. WARNING!: DO NOT BRING FOOD UP GU SHAN! Last but not least, weather was good to us till we reached the summit. There are free tea provided at the summit pavilion too. Then it started to pour on and off and stopped when we reached the foot.
