台北市士林的大崎頭步道上，有一處水光粼粼的梯田， 宛如一面靜置在山坡上的鏡子，又像是巨型階梯，因此也被稱為「巨人的階梯」，是亞洲特有的農耕文化景觀。
遠遠望去，梯田像是一面面鏡子，平靜地映照著天空的雲彩。水面上，偶爾有微風拂過，泛起一圈圈漣漪，打破了畫面的寧靜。田埂是用泥土和石塊堆砌而成，高低錯落，彎彎曲曲，勾勒出優美的線條。
走近細看，每一塊田地都蓄滿了水，清澈見底。水稻還未完全長成，嫩綠的秧苗整齊地排列在水中，生機勃勃。田埂上長滿了野草，綠油油的，與水田相映成趣。
梯田周圍是茂密的樹林，有高大的喬木，也有低矮的灌木，層層疊疊，綠意盎然。遠處的山巒起伏，雲霧繚繞，更增添了一份神秘感。
由冬轉春之際，梯田的水面上出現一種特殊的「滿江紅」景觀，最早被發現在南投武界部落。現在「大崎頭步道」也能觀賞到這季節限定的景色。
即使在夏日沒有滿江紅點綴，這裡也是一條不錯的健行路線，可以串連附近的許多古道（像是登峰圳、坪頂新圳、坪頂古圳等三條百年古圳），值得全家大小前來踏青。
鵝尾山位在台北市士林區平等里，原名「無尾山」，又稱「鵝米山」，聽說因山形似鵝尾而得名，位在平等里坪頂古圳步道上方。鵝尾山的山頂有兩座基石，標高 523 公尺處位置偏北，有一顆「未列名一號」基石；標高 510 公尺處位置偏南，有一顆土地調查局圖根點。
鵝尾山為竹篙山南延至外雙溪河谷的稜尾山頭。若由平等里觀望，只是一段平坦的山丘，從其南麓外雙溪的礁坑橋仰望，才會覺得是一個山頭，若是從大崙頭山遠眺，就可以看到全景了。
鵝尾山前方有一塊高起的小山丘，當地人稱為「金坑子」，據說該處曾經產金，並且在60年前日治時期開採過，但因產量少所以停止開採，現在只留下挖金的坑洞。
On the Daqitou Trail in Shilin, Taipei City, lies a terraced rice paddy, shimmering with water. Resembling a mirror resting on the hillside, or a giant staircase, it's also known as "Giant's Steps," a unique agricultural landscape characteristic of Asia.
From afar, the terraced fields look like individual mirrors, peacefully reflecting the clouds in the sky. Occasionally, a gentle breeze sweeps across the water's surface, creating ripples that break the tranquility of the scene. The ridges between the paddies are built from earth and stone, rising and falling, curving and twisting, outlining beautiful contours.
Up close, each paddy is filled with water, so clear you can see the bottom. The rice plants are not yet fully grown, and the tender green seedlings are arranged neatly in the water, full of vitality. Wild grass grows thickly on the ridges, a vibrant green that complements the watery fields.
The terraced fields are surrounded by dense forest, with tall trees and low shrubs, layered upon each other, lush and green. In the distance, rolling mountains shrouded in mist and clouds add a touch of mystery.
During the transition from winter to spring, a special "Azolla" (mosquito fern) phenomenon appears on the surface of the terraced fields, first discovered in the Wujie tribe in Nantou. Now, this seasonal spectacle can also be observed on the Daqitou Trail.
Even in summer, without the red adornment of the Azolla, this is a fantastic hiking route. It connects to several nearby ancient trails (such as the Dengfeng Canal, Pingding New Canal, and Pingding Ancient Canal – three century-old canals), making it a worthwhile outing for the whole family.
Ewei Mountain (Goose Tail Mountain) is located in Pingdeng Village, Shilin District, Taipei City. Originally named "Wuwei Mountain" (Tail-less Mountain), it is also known as "Emi Mountain." It is said to be named for its resemblance to a goose's tail, and it sits above the Pingding Ancient Canal Trail in Pingdeng Village. The summit of Ewei Mountain has two survey markers. The one at an elevation of 523 meters is located further north and is marked "Unlisted No. 1." The one at 510 meters is further south and has a land survey triangulation point.
Ewei Mountain is the southern extension of Zhugao Mountain (Bamboo Pole Mountain) ridge, extending down to the Waishuangxi River valley. Viewed from Pingdeng Village, it appears as just a flat hill. Only when looking up from the Jiaokeng Bridge on the southern slopes of Waishuangxi does it appear as a distinct peak. A panoramic view can be enjoyed from Daluntou Mountain.
In front of Ewei Mountain, there is a small, raised hillock called "Jinkengzi" (Gold Pit). It is said that gold was once produced there, and it was mined during the Japanese colonial period about 60 years ago. However, mining stopped due to the low yield, leaving only the dug-out pits behind.

大崎頭步道從這裡出發
大崎頭步道位於台北市士林，聖人瀑布附近，一開始是花崗岩階梯，往上走不久就能看到梯田跟山景。續行一小段後，會經過一些住家，之後就會進入樹林裡，沿路都是竹林跟樹木，涼快且安靜。
步道最高點是「清風亭」，從這裡可以通往很多地方：
- 可以從平菁街95巷出去平等里
- 可以走坪頂古圳步道繞一圈
- 也可以走到瑪礁古道、內雙溪古道、內寮古道、竹篙嶺古道，最後到擎天崗
- 也可以順登鵝尾山
從大崎頭步道入口走上來，不用五分鐘就能欣賞這般美麗的景色
台北市附近就有這樣的水梯田景觀
