Xiaoguanyin Mountain

Xiaoguanyin Mountain reaches an elevation of 1,038 meters and presents varied terrain including steep inclines, rocky paths, and forested sections across its hiking trails.

The mountain formed through volcanic activities between 800,000 and 300,000 years ago as part of the Datun Volcano Group in northern Taiwan.

Local bamboo harvesters maintain traditional practices by placing spirit offerings along the mountain paths, reflecting enduring spiritual connections to the landscape.

The mountain trails require a mandatory permit obtained through the national park's website, and hikers should carry 2.5 liters of water for the 6.5-hour loop walk.

The mountain serves as an intersection point between Beitou and Sanzhi Districts, where hikers frequently encounter wild water buffaloes grazing on the slopes.
