Aujourd'hui, on a fait la rando facile de 新溪洲山 à Taoyuan.
Pas dur, 5km en tout, pour environ 2 heures.
Départ du parc 溪洲公園 à l'intérieur du parc du réservoir 石門水庫.
Today, we hiked 新溪洲山 in Taoyuan. Easy hike of 5km, around 2 hrs.
Trailhead starts from the park of 溪洲公園, inside the recreation park of 石門水庫 (Shimen Dam).
La piste commence par une allée pavée ascendante.The trail starts with an ascending paved road.
Then changes to soil.
The soil road goes to 新溪洲山, as indicated by the sign.
Typical trail of small mountains.
View over the area.
Voilà, au sommet de 新溪洲山 475m. Rien de spécial.At the top of 新溪洲山 475m. Nothing special.
A little farther, we come to a place built by hikers, to chat over tea, or work out.
The place also has a nice view of the dam.
Il est relié au réservoir Paoshan de Hsinchu, pour dépanner, si besoin est, le Parc Scientifique où se trouvent les dernièrement célèbres usines à puces électroniques (ex: tsmc).
This dam is the second in size in Taiwan.
It is connected to the Hsinchu Paoshan dam, to supply the Science Park where the recently famous chip fabs (ex: tsmc) are, if needed.
We now go down by another trail indicated by this gate, but still to the park of 溪洲公園.
A trail with rather slippery stone steps. No wonder most hikers had rather ascend it instead of descend it.
At this crossroad, take the left to go to 溪洲公園.
Here, no sign, but must take to the left!
To end the hike, we have a meal of the local fish farmed in this area, here, fried and topped with a sweet sour sauce.
The parents and Philippe had this too when they visited us before.
