My Trekking Experience at Qigu Salt Mountain, Tainan 🥾
About This Discussion
I recently had the chance to visit Qigu Salt Mountain in Tainan, Taiwan, and it was such a unique trekking experience. 🥾🧂
Walking up the white salt covered mountain felt completely different from the usual hiking trails I’ve experienced. The landscape was surprisingly beautiful, and reaching the top gave me a chance to slow down and take in the scenery around Qigu.
The trek itself was manageable, but I’d definitely recommend wearing comfortable shoes, bringing enough water, and using sunscreen, especially if you visit during the hotter hours. The bright salt surface can also make the sunlight feel quite intense.
What I enjoyed most was simply experiencing something so different from Taiwan’s typical mountain scenery.
Have you ever visited Qigu Salt Mountain? I’d love to hear how your experience was, or if you have any other unique trekking spots around Tainan to recommend! 🌿

Qigu Salt Mountain looks so unique! Was the trek difficult?
@siri_kanya_323 Not really! The climb was quite manageable, but the heat made it feel a little more challenging. Comfortable shoes and plenty of water definitely helped.
Did you visit in the morning or afternoon?
@abizard I went during the daytime. If I visit again, I’d probably go earlier to avoid the strongest sun and enjoy the trek more comfortably.
Is it worth visiting if I only have a short time in Tainan?
@elifyilmaz I think so! It’s a pretty different experience from the usual attractions in Tainan, especially if you enjoy outdoor activities and unique landscapes.
Any tips for someone planning to trek there?
@danielcooper Bring water, sunscreen, a hat, and comfortable shoes. The white salt surface can be really bright under the sun, so sun protection is a must!
