I had low-to-no expectations about this particular section, and decided to do it one random Sunday, almost on a whim. Well I was wrong. This is a really cool walk, and one that I can't believe I hadn't heard of before. Even if you have no plans to walk the whole of the TSLT, then make sure you find time to visit some of the highlights along this particular stretch of it.

My personal favourite spots were Foguang Cave - the largest temple cave in Taiwan, and some of the miliatry ruins in the hills just above Keelung.

Author’s recommendation

Quite mosquito-y in warm weather, take spray or long sleeves.

Tips and hints

If you're travelling with people who you know to be superstitious, it might be worth giving them a heads up that this walk will pass through graveyards.
