Hiking Guihuaquan for the First Time

#2025-0508

Where is the Guihuaquan Trail (桂花泉登山步道)?

If you’ve recently been to Tiezhenshan (鐵砧山) in Dajia, you might already know the answer.

Yes—this beautiful trail that Jean and I explored today, with our sister-in-law Lixue as our guide, is nestled on the slopes of Tiezhenshan in Dajia, where Jean’s mother and several of our close relatives live.

Today, Jean and I joined a family gathering that her mother had organized. We enjoyed a delicious meal at Xihai’an (西海岸) in Da’an District. After lunch, we took a short rest at home, then headed out for our first hike along the Guihuaquan Trail. We spent about two hours walking through the peaceful, wooded paths of Tiezhenshan.

Scroll down to see photos that capture the spirit of the trail—and maybe spark your own sense of adventure!
