Tour Overview

Hsinchu's Most Beautiful Trails: Takashima Trail and the Beautiful Cedar Forest Trail (with professional guides providing commentary throughout the entire hike)

[Difficulty: Intermediate] The Takashima Trail takes 7 hours and covers a 770-meter drop, making it suitable for those with long-distance mountaineering experience.


Hsinchu boasts a stunning trail often referred to as the "Gaodao Trail" by mountaineering professionals. It boasts a vast fir forest, offers challenging rope climbing, and a viewing platform with panoramic views of the Guanyin Mountain range. The forest is incredibly cool in the summer, and with professional instructors leading the way, it's a must-try for those seeking a long-distance, one-day hike!

- Attraction Introduction | Gaodao Trail. Gaotai Mountain and Shimada Mountain in One Day -

▲ Gaodao Trail
Starting from Gaotai Mountain, the trail ascends to the Shimada Mountain range and returns. The entire route, traversing altitudes above 1,000 meters, is pleasantly cool and boasts a diverse range of forest types, from coniferous to deciduous. There's a viewing platform offering stunning views of the Hsinchu mountains. Walking through the thick carpet of pine needles and deciduous leaves feels like stepping on a soft natural carpet, making it a refreshing and relaxing day hike even in the height of summer. It's an excellent choice for a one-day hike.

▲ Gaotai Mountain

Gaotai Mountain is located in the Naluo Tribe area of Jianshi Township, Hsinchu County. Its summit is gently sloping, and it features a beautifully straight fir forest. The observation deck above offers excellent views of Jianshi Tribe and the Naluo area.

▲ Shimada Mountain Range

After passing through a long, deep rhododendron forest, you'll reach the Three Shimada Mountains: Small Shimada Mountain (also known as Shimada Front Peak or Peak 1670), Middle Shimada Mountain (also known as Shimada Middle Peak or Peak 1805), and Big Shimada Mountain (also known as Big Shimada Mountain or Peak 1824). All three peaks are rockless, and the climb involves climbing steep rock faces with ropes. A giant cypress tree stands at the summit, offering a chance to admire a sea of clouds.
