Been living in Kaoshiung for few years, finally this morning decided to head to Shoushan for a cross-country ran with Siboy. Arrived at Shoushan Trail head around 750am and started the the ran. To my surprise, the whole trail was fully paved with wooden platform. Those wooden steps did make the ran rather tough, ended up hiking up the steps instead.
Apparently from the information map, there are few others different trails in ShouShan. The trail we took started from Dragon Emperor Trail Head (Green) and we did a loop, extended to Lotus Cave, Rocky Banyan and back.
We completed the whole trail in 2.5hrs and ended our session with a cold spring dip before the trail head entrance.

Hi I'm coming down to Kaoshiung on 1/17-1/18 Do you know which bus I tshould take from Sizihwan station to get to this trail?
ReplyDeleteSomeone said to avoid the Sizihwan station Orange Path since that one has angry Monkeys on that path.
I'm wondering the green path you ran does it connect to the Orange one also or just the Brown trail?
Are there many Mosquitoes on this trail during this month?
Kind of topic but have you been in to Liuqiu Island near DongGang? You think it is just a tourist trap or worth the day trip.
Sorry for all the question, you are the only person on google who had an informative post about Shoushan Park. Thanks!
