石碇皇帝殿 - was there but wasn't there

Went to 石碇 on Sunday. I used to go there quite often for fishing... tho that was more than 10 years ago :-)

We got there around 1 pm and took a nice walk there... still a nice little town. 王家豆腐的豆花 is a must-eat! Wanted to try 桂花香腸 too but didn't get a chance....

Have read good things and seen some pictures of 皇帝殿稜線 so I was expecting something exciting... however, we took the wrong route. Instead of going up from 小粗坑登山口, we went up from the 湳窟路路線. It was still a nice hike but we didn't see much 稜線. The way up is quite boring... all concret stairs and not much to see. Got a good workout tho. When we finally got to the top where we were expecting to see some great view... disappointingly there wasn't much to see...

Later I found these two articles on the Internet... obviously we were not the only one who went up the wrong way... so now I can look at the other people's pictures and imagine what the famous 皇帝殿稜線 could has been like...

At least we had yummy 豆花. The trip is well worth it :-)

Note:
Picture and two articles are from 'Tony的自然人文旅記', one of my favorite web site for hiking information:
