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.
