Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2019, Taiwan’s mountain ranges, especially the Baiyue, have gained popularity as travel abroad became restricted. However, the challenging terrain and multi-day itineraries of these peaks demand significant physical endurance. In an attempt to lighten the load for a three-day hike around Jiaming Lake, the author aimed to minimize equipment. Accommodations were available along the route, reducing the need to carry camping gear. The essentials included personal warm clothing, photography equipment, and lightweight food provisions. After careful selection, the final pack weight was kept under 10kg, excluding water. The article serves as a record of this adventure.
