Razor Ridge In The Hills Above Taipei!
Hwang Di Dian, Taiwan- March, 1999

One only needs to drive an hour out of Taipei in almost any direction to come into some of the most amazing countryside. Snaking between the tops of three mountains is a narrow ridge just like a razor that can put you between two amazing valleys looking down into the jungles of Taiwan.
The area is about an hour long motorcycle ride past the Taipei Zoo into the mountains behind MuCha. Upon arriving at the site, you have about 10,000 stairs to look forward to before the climb gets really exciting by turning into a series of ropes and mud ramps that are great at helping you break-in your new jeans by covering them with mud, sticks, leaves and other debris.

The part that has always made this trip so special is being up on the top to watch the sunset. While it makes for a risky walk down, watching g the sun set over the Taiwan mountains, or a sea of clouds is just another incredible experience to be found here in Taiwan.
