About Hubaotan
Hubaotan (Hubao Pond 虎豹潭) is a scenic spot in Shuangxi (雙溪), New Taipei City, close to the boundary of Yilan County. It would be a ~23-minute drive along Shuangtai Industry Road (雙泰產業道路) from Shuangxi Old Street according to Google’s navigation. The place is by Beishi River (北勢溪) where features several hiking / historic trails around. It has been way too long to retrieve many details from my memory since my only visit in 2009. But the tranquil stream and pond showing a nice, healing tone, is something I still remember today.
If hiking is not your thing, lingering along the easiest walking trail by the clear and greenish stream should be rewarding. There are also ruins of old houses, stone bridge and other historic spots for further exploration.
