Awesome views, steep climb
2019-09
Great way to get both your daily physical exercise and great photos of Taipei 101. From Xin Yi Rd, the most popular route up is via Liu Ju Shi, which take you to the summit and provides plenty of platforms for photos (very steep). I then walked across on the Yongchungang Trail (easy walk), which also had some good viewing platforms. Then back to Xin Yi Rd via the Trail of Sky in Stripe path. Path was easy (moderate down hill at the end) but green and peaceful. Take sturdy shoes and plenty of water. Allow 2 hours to do the circuit. -

Quiet and peaceful hike

One of my first days in Taipei I decided to take a bus and hike to Elephant mountain. It was dreary out and raining a little, no one was around except a handful of locals. I was bitten by a ton of mosquito's so make sure to bring some bug spray. This was a delightful little hike and I really enjoyed it. At the top you can take some really beautiful pictures. Take an umbrella for both sun and rain. -

The climb up the MANY stairs to see the skyline of Taipei at night is no easy feat. For those who are fit enough to make it to the top, the effort is worthwhile. Fabulous view of the City. -

Amazing place
2019-09
This is an outstanding place from where you can see entire Taipei;we started the hike around 8PM and in just 30 minutes we where taking pictures from the second deck, which is btw somehow hidden and the entrance is not illuminated; after you pass some big stones you need to go up for another 10-20 stairs and on your left you should see the entrance to the second deck.it worth giving it a try.and also be careful not to step on snails if you go on a rainy day. -

Looking from nature unto Metropolis, a lot of stairs, bring your own beer

I expected a nice little night hike, so I was a little shocked when i found out, that after the 7 minuites stroll from the MRT station, it's all stairs. For me it felt like going up all the 101 floors of the World Trade Center, although I'm sure that it was less than that, and the view of the skyline at night was really beautiful. After climbing stairs for around 15 minutes comes the first viewing platform. Then I climbed stairs for another 5 minutes and reached the 2nd one. The view from the 2nd one is not really better, but there are some big rocks you can climb and sit on, so the atmosphere is more magical. I suggest to bring one or two beers with you, climb one of those rocks and enjoy the view. Make sure not to get tipsy, because you have to climb all those stairs down again ;). If you come earlier then me, after the 2nd climb actually some hiking tracks (without stairs) start, but I had to make sure catch the last MRT so I left those for another time. Some people used there mobile phones as flash lights while climbing the stairs up or down, but I don't understand why. There was sufficient light on the whole track. I went on a Friday night around 22:00. It was not crowded, but there was still a good amount of people comming up and down.
