After completing section one, I learned about app where one can collect diamonds and flowers along the route. Completing the trail with the app makes you eligible for more prizes.
One gets a certificate of completion and a souvenir towel if they take pictures of themselves with all twelve post signs. This is my goal for 2021!

| The hike starts at Guandu MRT and goes through the Taipei City University of Science and Technology |

| This section of the hike didn't offer many views but we picked a gorgeous day to do it |

| At Bitoujiao (鼻頭角) on the northern coast of Taiwan on a gorgeous day |
