Jianshan Trail. Jianshan is known as "Tamsui's Mount Fuji" due to its shape resembling Japan's Mount Fuji. Jianshan is known as "Tamsui's Mount Fuji" due to its shape resembling Japan's Mount Fuji. The trail is approximately 1,620 meters long. The entrance is located behind the main hall of Lingyun Temple, and it connects to the end of Fulongshan Trail. The entire trail winds through lush green forests, accompanied by the sounds of birds and cicadas, bringing a sense of joy and contentment. The first section, about 370 meters, ascends in a zigzag pattern to a fork. The right path leads to "Yingzi Jianshan," with an elegant circular pavilion at the highest point for rest. Continuing along the main, flat section of Jianshan Trail from the fork, there is a junction that connects to the Yinghanling Trail. Proceeding straight leads to the most challenging part of Jianshan: the "mountain ridges." The Jianshan ridges ascend from lower elevations, with each peak higher than the last. The steepest section of the ridges is from 500 meters onwards. Fortunately, before reaching the summit, there is a relatively flat saddle with a pavilion for visitors to catch their breath and rest before the final 320-meter push. The last section of the trail winds up a steep cliff face. Many hikers are exhausted and drenched in sweat here, but as long as they persevere, slow down, and climb step by step, the beauty of the summit is within reach. Upon reaching the summit, the breathtaking scenery and rest in the pavilion make one forget all fatigue. The most spectacular view is just below the peak.
