For this hike we joined two of our older trails to make a longer trek, starting with a long walk through the countryside before climbing up to the top of the mountain behind the Silver Pagodas.
The weather was cold and clear, and because it was Chinese New Year eve there were hardly any people out and about in the countryside.

On the way through another small village, we saw people carrying paper models of houses and temples. These weren’t giant fireworks, unfortunately!

The hike finished at the Silver Pagodas, a temple site that dates back to the ninth century.
