Neihu Mountain Trail - Jinmian Mountain Scissor Rock with huge rocks

#mountain climbing #100 ways to travel There are many mountain trails in the Neihu area of ​​Taipei. Because it is close to the MRT Wenhu Line, transportation is quite convenient. Among them, #金面山 is located behind the MRT Xihu Station. The #剪纸石 on the top of the mountain has become an excellent mountain trail for many Internet celebrities to check in on Instagram because of its strange rock formations and the ability to overlook the greater Taipei city. It is always crowded during holidays. Jinmian Mountain belongs to the Wuzhi Mountain system. Because the andesitic sandstone in its geology contains quartz, the top of the mountain sparkles from a distance when the sun shines on it, so the locals call it Jinmian Mountain. The hiking trail is about 2.3 kilometers long, the entire route is about 3 kilometers, and the walking time is about 1.5 hours. The huge rock on the top of the mountain is shaped like a sharp bird's beak, so it is also called Scissor Rock Mountain. Although it is only 258 meters above sea level, it has a unique mountain atmosphere. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook Neihu Dapi and the streets of Taipei, with a wide field of vision. However, when you first enter the trail entrance, the steep rock walls beside the trail are almost vertical, towering above the stream, which can scare many novices. But as long as you climb carefully and slowly, you can pass this dangerous place with huge rocks and reach the relay rest stop #论剑亭, and then walk a few steps to reach the top of the Scissors Rock. #pro-mountain-walking-trail #neihu #hiking #100travel-ways
