Tea Pot Mountain

Went hiking to the top Tea Pot Mountain today, just outside of Jiufen in northern coast of Taiwan. After taking a train to Rueifang, we boarded a bus to the trailhead, which is at the base of a local temple. The area is very green and hilly and the trail to the top was a combination of paved roadway, rocky trail, and stone steps. It's called Tea Pot Mountain because the natural rock formation at the top looks like a handleless Chinese teapot. At the very end of the trail there are ropes to assist in the climb to the top from which there are great views of the surrounding hills and ocean.
