Centered around Qixing Mountain, Taiwan’s highest dormant volcano, Yangmingshan National Park, features 13 hot springs and several scenic trails easily accessible from central Taipei by frequent buses. Smoking fumaroles, Taiwan blue magpies, and rhododendrons growing from andesite rocks stand out as the national park's trademark sights. Enjoy a stroll around Dream Lake and visit Grass Mountain Chateau, Chan Kai-shek’s summer residence. You can see a staggering 1,360 species of plants as you wander around the park's rolling grass hills, which were created after the government burnt forests to prevent thieves from stealing rich sulfur deposits.

Amazing view! Went in the morning and ended in the evening. Need to plan your route well. Went during December, and it can get pretty cold. Make sure to be appropriately dressed. Also, it gets pretty steep depending on the route you take. If you are taking public transport, do take note of the frequency of the bus. Usually, it takes around 30-45 minutes. There is very limited capacity on the bus. Those waiting at the later bus stop will not be able to get on the bus if the bus is filled. Will have to keep waiting until there is space for you to board the bus. Be prepared to spend a lot of waiting time will be spent on waiting for public transport.
