About Xiaozishan & Cimufeng
The Difficulty Rating: ★★☆☆☆
The hike to Xiaozishan (孝子山) and Cimufeng (慈母峰) offers an alternative in Pingxi (平溪) area if you already attend the Sky Lantern Festival (天燈節) and visit the old streets but prefer a more exciting physical activity.
Within the mountainous northeastern Taiwan, the trail to both peaks is very popular, well-formed and marked. It is just the stunning gradient along the stairs that might hold back someone who have fear of heights. But if this does not worry you at all, this short day walk will reward you with the view over the numberless hills extending to the horizon. You just need to pick up a day when the weather is fine. Please be aware the trails in this area form a network and some of them might be difficult or lesser-visited.
