Guanziling Dadongshan, Tainan's highest peak, Xiaobaiyue hiking

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Challenge Tainan's highest peak, #Dadongshan, which is 1,241 meters high. Dadong Mountain is one of the Small Hundred Peaks located near Guanziling. It is considered to be of intermediate difficulty. Starting from the parking lot of Xianzu Temple, it is about 10 kilometers round trip and takes about 5 hours. The altitude difference is 780 meters. The middle and latter half are mostly gravel roads, which are not easy to walk. The difficulty is higher than Dadong Mountain in Chiayi. Climbing Dadong Mountain really makes you sweat like crazy. Although there are shade trees along the way, climbing all the way is quite tiring. Before reaching the triangulation point and the ridge pavilion, you will pass by two small pavilions where you can rest. After reaching the summit, hikers usually go to the pavilion on the ridge to make tea and eat. They have a great time chatting with friends, and some even sleep there. It’s amazing! #Dadongshan #Guanziling #Xiaobaiyue

Experience Taiwan’s Geothermal Wonderland at Guanziling Scenic Area 🌋🌲 Discover Guanziling, the heart of MUD hot spring magic in Tainan’s lush Baihe District! This region’s steamy pools and mud baths are a must for anyone chasing relaxation and a unique nature-meets-luxury experience. 🧖♂️ Recommended Route: Take Taiwan tourist shuttle number 33 from Chiayi HSR and drop off at the last stop (Lingding) surrounding are full of mud spring places you can choose. From there you can change to other buses to explore attraction around the area. ‼️Do NOTE! GuanZiLing is not tourist ready, hence many information are in mandarin. There are NO taxis as most locals drive or motorcycle. If you want to go I will suggest rent a car or motorcycle from Chiayi (if u have the relevant licence) or hire a taxi for the days u intend to stay, you have to speak to the taxi drivers stationed at HSR station if they are willingly to be “booked”. Or else, go on weekends as there are more public buses operating on weekends. All bus end last trip early about 3pm some 5pm. So it is a must to planned carefully as most buses are scheduled every 1 hourly only. Google works extremely well hence you can rely on it. ✨ Must-Do Experiences: Dip into the famous mud springs (Guanziling is one of the few places in Asia with natural mud hot springs); let yourself unwind with a soak surrounded by serene forest views. Explore the nearby hillside walking trails shaded by abundant trees—nature lovers, don’t miss inspecting the local flora up close! 📸 Top Photo Spots: Snap that “insta-worthy” shot in front of Guanziling Hotel against its modern architecture and vibrant outdoor cultural landscape. Capture moody scenes after rainfall, when the clouds and mist hug the hills for a magical backdrop. For sunny days, frame the tiled roofs and leafy trees with blue sky above. Another must visit is the 水火同源 (fire and water spring). The fire has been burning for 324 years and still going. 🌞 Practical Tips: Bring a raincoat—weather here changes quickly and umbrellas can get whisked away by mountain winds. Visit early for fewer crowds and peaceful springtime atmosphere. The mud springs can stain, so wear comfy, older clothes and flip-flops for easy clean-up after your soak. #Tainan #Guanziling #HotSprings #NatureBeauty #TravelTips
