Tucheng (土城), New Taipei City is the destination, with a special Tung Blossom Trail that includes one of Taiwan’s “Small 100 Peaks.” So grab your gear, it’s time for another City Escape! Tucheng is a hidden gem just southwest of Taipei City with many hiking trails that are perfect for a quick escape from the bustle of Taipei. This route is great to enjoy year-round, but if you want to enjoy the gorgeous Tung Blossoms, April-May is the time to see the flowers in full bloom. Andre takes the firefly viewing trail to Tung Blossom Park, then heads to one of Taiwan's “Small 100 Peaks” (小百岳) Tianshang Mountain (430 m). This trail is challenging enough, so remember to bring enough water and food for around 2-3 hours of hiking. Getting to the Tung Blossom Trail is easy, simply take the blue line MRT towards Dingpu and get off at Yongning station. From there you can take the bus to Nantianmu Square station.
