Meilin mountain is more of a hill than a mountain, however it is a nice couple of hours in the fresh air. at maximum it’ll take you 3 hours to finish probably less and that’s what makes it great, it can be done in a morning or afternoon.
There are stairs here, but to the side of them there is a dirt path for most it. Even so the stairs are not particular tough and it is suitable for beginner. there are numerous rest stops along the way and a pagoda at the top to rest too.
