The hiking trail leading from the trailhead at Tatajia Anbu to Paiyun Lodge is 8.5km long at an elevation of 3,402 metres. As high mountain hikes go, it is relatively easy, with few steep or technical sections. In some sections the trail goes downhill, and there are plenty of level grade sections. The trail is clearly marked, with a distance post every half km showing distance traveled and distance remaining. It takes 4 to 8 hours to reach the lodge from the trailhead, depending on fitness level.

Sudden change in hike plan due to one time departure of daily bus and confidence that I can make it within the day. Started to hike from Lodging (2,563masl) up to Mt. Jade Summit (3,952masl). There is only one daily bus departure going back to Alishan and Sun Moon Lake. I should be in Shangdongpu bus station before 1030H as I'm going back to Alishan for Kaoshiung at night (taxi fare costs around 2,500 to 3,000 NTD going to Alishan for 30 min travel time, bus fare costs only 60 NTD).
REMINDER: Please take note that my trekking hours is of below average, I'm always lagging for around an hour to the next destination. I already considered myself as retired hiker after Mt. Apo day-hike (Philippines' highest mountain), but due to some personal and travel related urge, change my mind a little bit.
