Hiking is a national pastime in Taiwan, so much so that there are hiking trails suitable for all levels. This time, explore St. Marian’s hiking trail, a challenging hike that offers a reward that made it Instagram-famous. Check out this stunning hike with views that certainly make the pilgrimage worthwhile. This hike takes on Mt. Sanjiaolun, otherwise known as Matcha Mountain. The name was given from a tired Japanese traveler who took a photo and posted it on Instagram. It quickly went viral with people flocking to take photos with the dreamy scene. This trail is beautiful, but be wary, although it is well-maintained, it is still a challenging hike with many stairs and 920 meters elevation gain, or even more if you choose to add another peak. The challenge is more than worth it; this trail boasts spectacular views and some unique stops along the way including St. Marian’s Church and St. Marian’s hut. So, join us as we discover another beautiful piece of nature on a special trail in Taiwan on this episode of “City Escape.” Trail Enternece: https://maps.app.goo.gl/NxjhxGf2n7DAdLq77 Catholic Sanctuary of Our Lady of Wufengqi: https://maps.app.goo.gl/KPYpTNKRYwtaR9udA
