The rich natural environment around Taipei provides a perfect setting for hiking. This time, we chose the Sandiaoling Trail, famed for its spectacular waterfalls.

More than 20 tenants from BORDERLESS HOUSE share houses joined this event, coming together to explore and bond through a shared love for nature. The hike allowed us to not only appreciate Taiwan’s stunning landscapes but also engage in meaningful cultural exchanges, making it a memorable experience for everyone living in a share house community.

Now, let’s begin our journey from Sandiaoling Station, and dive into the beauty of this ancient trail with its magnificent waterfalls and tranquil environment!

The Waterfall Journey: Hegu, Motian, and Pipa Cave Waterfalls

The first stop was Hegu Waterfall, standing 15 meters tall, gracefully flowing through the dense forest. It’s the only waterfall we couldn’t get close to, but an observation deck nearby provided a fantastic view.

Continuing along the trail for another 20 minutes, we arrived at Motian Waterfall. Taller and more dramatic than Hegu, Motian's powerful stream crashes down like a curtain of silver. The pool and rocks at its base enhance its majestic feel. Some of our share house tenants took a break here, cooling off in the fresh waters, while others enjoyed capturing beautiful photos from the viewpoint.

We then ascended to our final stop, Pipa Cave Waterfall, perched at the highest point of the trail. Water cascades down from a cave in the cliffside, with the sound reverberating through the valley, creating a mystical atmosphere. We stayed for about an hour and a half, enjoying lunch and the tranquility. A group photo sealed the memory of this shared experience.

Let’s top off this unforgettable journey with shaved ice!

To top off the day, we indulged in shaved ice from a local shop near the station. Even though it was a dry season and the waterfalls weren’t at their fullest, the beauty and tranquility of Sandiaoling left us in awe. This hike allowed us to connect more deeply with Taiwan’s nature and brought BORDERLESS HOUSE tenants closer together. We're already looking forward to the next adventure!
