TAIWAN'S Northern Gem - STEGOSAURUS RIDGE - 重看 “悲情城市” 想回去爬東北岸 - 第二次爬劍龍稜是完全不一樣的經驗

Inspired by a recent rewatch of “City of Sadness”, I decided to go back to visit Taiwan’s stunning northeast coast for a hike, and that could only mean one trail - Stegosaurus Ridge.
On a fine day this gruelling day hike offers outstanding views of the northeast coast as you climb to the summit of Banping Mountain (半屏山) at just over 700m and tower above nearby Teapot Mountain, Jinguashi and Jiufen.
But be warned - those views don’t come easy.

Transport Info:
The trailhead is located near the 81.1km marker of Provincial Highway No.2 in Nanya (南雅), The trail begins behind Nanya’s South New Temple (南雅南新宮)
Getting to the trailhead by public transport is relatively easy, but can be time consuming.
Catch a train to either Keelung or Ruifang stations and then buses (791 from Keelung, or 856 from Ruifang) will take you to the trailhead.
Warning: The buses are pretty slow and can take up to an hour to reach Nanya.
If you are in a group it’s much faster and easier to take a taxi.
