Eighteen Peaks Mountain wriggles from northern edge of Hsinchu Hsien toward south, which was a "forest park" developed in Japanese colonial period. It looks like a crescent, creeping seven or eight "li" ("li" is about one third of a mile) and circling the east and south suburbs of Hsinchu. It is said that there were really eighteen peaks. The highest point of this mountain is 131.79 meters, the lowest place 50 meters, and average slop degree 40﹪. Greenery forest, fine pavement, and fresh air have made this place the most popular hiking path for residents. To secure the people that go hiking and do exercise there, cars are not allowed to enter before eight o'clock in the morning. Setting off from National Hsinchu Vocational High School of Commerce and following the direction of Boai Street will bring you to the mountain. The pavilion "Jie Sho Ting" built at the highest point, and the thirty three stone Goddess of Mercy in forest are also worthy to visit.
