richard0428: Looking down the sheer cliffs as the ridge of Mt Nanziling abruptly meets the sea

richard0428: Looking back, about 2 1/2 hours into the hike
richard0428: Ant hill
richard0428: A surprise: a short tunnel cut through the cliff (apparently by the Japanese) at the highest point of the hike
richard0428: Ted and Brandon mess around in the tunnel
richard0428: This Land God shrine at the junction of Shitikeng Old Trail and the trail to Mt. Nanziling is an old one, being built in 1912.
richard0428: Finally, well over six hours after leaving the coast road, the ocean is visible through the trees once more
richard0428: A fabulous and deep pool just before the trail emerges on the coast road at the end of the hike, proved irrisistable for a swim
richard0428: Leaving my sweat-soaked towel while having a swim, I came back to find it had attracted a large and enthusiastic audience (Luckily I had another, clean towel to dry-off with)
richard0428: The famous 'strange rocks' of Nanya mark the end of the trail
