Epic Mini Summit Adventure

#chinatravel If you’re looking for a short but satisfying hike in northern Taiwan, Gangziliao Mountain in Keelung City is a great choice. Located behind National Taiwan Ocean University, this small peak stands at around 163 meters but still offers impressive coastal views. You can reach the summit in about five minutes if you take the direct route via Lide Road. For a more scenic experience, the Dragon Ridge Trail winds through forested paths, streams, and occasional wildlife, making it ideal for a relaxed nature walk.

In warmer months, keep an eye out for butterflies and fireflies along the way. One highlight is the historic Gangziliao Fort near the top, where you can enjoy wide views of Keelung Harbor, Keelung Islet, and even Taipei 101 on a clear day. It’s a great mix of nature, history, and light exercise. Just bring good shoes and water. This quick hike is perfect for a peaceful break without going far from the city.
