As a kind of test run for our upcoming more serious hiking trip we climbed 七星山 (Qīxīng mountain) in 陽明山國家公園 (Yángmíngshān National Park). The main peak is 1120 m above sea level.

  • A Taiwanese squirrel
  • Taking the rest from the many steps that lead to the peak of 七星山.
  • It's like climbing the 101 on foot ...
  • "View" back down to the city. Unfortunately the combination of smog and humidity doesn't make for good visibility.
  • The steps that lead to the peak of 七星山, which you can see in the back.
  • A cute little lizard on the way.
  • The spirits are high ...
  • The main peak of 七星山 as seen from the East peak. Joe and I decided to jog to the East peak and back, only to find out later that the plan was to go back down via the East peak. :-)
  • Me on top of the East peak of 七星山.
  • Joe at the top of the East peak of 七星山. In the background you can see the main peak.

  • Something just seems wrong about this picture. ;-)
  • At the top of the main peak of 七星山.
  • Me and Ivy at the top of the main peak of 七星山.
  • Our hiking group at the top of the main peak of 七星山.
  • Climbing the East peak of 七星山.
  • A little Golden Gate imitation. :-)
  • Taipei 101: For the ridiculous amount of 5 million TWD (about 184 thousand CHF) you can let more than 2 million people see your message. Don't know if this one's worth it ...
