Chasing Peaks and Clouds at Qilai Nanhua

#chinatravel Exploring Qilai Nanhua (奇萊南華) in Nantou County, Taiwan was an unforgettable multi-day hiking adventure. The trail takes you through dramatic landscapes, from dense forest to high alpine ridges with jaw-dropping views. It’s definitely a more advanced hike, but totally doable with the right prep and mindset. The journey to the peaks of Qilai South and Nanhua is long but incredibly rewarding. Sunrise at the mountain lodge is magical, and the views from the ridge feel like something out of a dream, especially when clouds roll beneath you. The changing scenery along the way keeps it interesting, and you’ll often spot wildflowers, unique rock formations, and sometimes even wildlife. It’s not a casual walk in the park, but for those looking to take their hiking to the next level, Qilai Nanhua is a solid choice. Just train a bit beforehand and enjoy the ride.
