A mountain walk not far from Hsinchu City, adjacent to Tsing Hua and Chiao Tung Universities, with Hsinchu Park and Hsinchu Zoo nearby. There's a small hundred peak, #ShihbaJianMountain, that the whole family can easily complete. There are ten entrances to the hiking trails, and no matter which entrance you choose, you can reach the summit in 10-20 minutes, taking in the mountains, sea, and beautiful scenery of Hsinchu City all at once. (The editor heard that the way to the summit is to climb 300 steps.) The main trail of Shihba Jian Mountain is paved with asphalt, making it a flat and easy-to-walk suburban trail suitable for all ages. Elderly people and children can all complete it smoothly. There are many pavilions along the way for resting when tired, and thoughtfully, there are as many as 17 drinking fountains, the most in Hsinchu City. If you want to clear your mind and focus on climbing a mountain, let your mind wander and bathe in the forest as you ascend to the summit! Shihba Jian Mountain stretches south from the northern suburbs of Hsinchu County, it is a "Forest Park" developed during the Japanese colonial era, roughly crescent-shaped, winding about 7-8 kilometers, perfectly encircling the eastern and southern suburbs of Hsinchu City. It is said that Shihba Jian Mountain is named after its 18 peaks. The highest point is 131.79 meters, the lowest is 50 meters, with an average slope of 40%. The mountain is covered with dense forests along the way, with asphalt pavement.
