{Hiking} Taiwan Travel -- Mt. Qixing [YANGMINGSHAN] (陽明山七星山)
Mt. Qixing is Taipei's highest mountain. Hiking it is rather easy with broad trails and many signs in Chinese and English.
We started from Lengshuikeng but didn't do the usual route via the East Peak but the one further south which joins the Miaopu Trail.
Before you go there, you want to check the mountains from below (Beitou area), cause if the peaks are covered in clouds you won't see a thing up there (and it will most likely rain). So better choose a bright and shiny day without clouds (and bring sun protection).
At Xiaoyoukeng you can go to the large and well-known sulphur pit close to the visitor center (not in the video, cause of battery emptiness).

Travel in Taiwan (Nov./Dec. 2015)
Over twenty volcanoes, a similar number of steaming hot-spring sources, and large areas of impenetrable wilderness covered in tall grass or forests of bamboo and many other tree species make Yangmingshan a remarkable national park by any standards. Most remarkable of all, though, is that its stunning volcanic mountains lie just outside the urban core of Taipei City, within striking distance from the center of the metropolis.
Yangmingshan National Park (ymsnp.gov.tw) covers an area of over 11,000 hectares, and has a rich variety of landscapes, so there’s a lot to explore. The plethora of trails can keep both serious hikers and casual walkers busy for many weekends.
A hike to the highest point in the volcanic group, Mt. Qixing (1,120 meters), is a great introduction to the national park, since most of the attractions that make the place so special can be seen here – the remains of a volcanic crater, steaming fumaroles, hot-spring sources and pools, and rich flora and fauna. It’s a hike of an hour or two to the top (depending on the trail chosen and your fitness), along clear, stone-surfaced trails, and although steep in places the walk lies within the reach of most walkers. Certainly the view from the top (weather permitting) is well worth the effort: an incredible 360-degree panorama over the national park, the sea beyond, and (to the south) the Taipei Basin.
This trail starts at the Xiaoyoukeng car park, and before starting the long haul to the top a quick detour along a short trail to the edge of the huge, steaming gash in the side of Mt. Qixing is de rigueur. Sulfur-rich steam escaping to the surface through cracks has eaten away at the rock here and created a huge, crumbling gash in the mountainside.
Leaving the car park, the trail to the summit of Mt. Qixing immediately dives into the arrow bamboo and silvergrass that covers the exposed northern face of the mountain, and climbs up around the edge of Xiaoyoukeng. Near the top of the gash the trail draws close to the brink for a spell, then strikes left up a grassy valley, passing several much smaller steaming fumaroles.
The path continues upwards, passing pretty little Seven Stars Pond, located in a deep depression on the left. A little further on, take a right at a junction to a wooden viewing platform and enjoy a breather while absorbing the magnificent view. After a final short, steep climb, the path emerges onto the summit ridge, crosses a hollow filled with arrow bamboo, and zigzags up to the main and east peaks of Mt. Qixing.
Allow plenty of time to gape at the incredible views from both summits before tackling the descent, which drops steeply off the east peak, with magnificent views towards the grassy heights of Qingtiangang and beyond.
Getting There
Getting to Yangmingshan and the trailheads for Mt. Qixing is quick and easy from the center of Taipei. Simply take either bus R5 (from MRT Jiantan Station) or bus 260 (from Taipei Main Station) to the Yangmingshan terminus, and change there to minibus 108, which travels along a long loop around the center of the national park, encircling Mt. Qixing and passing the trailheads of all three routes to the summit – from the national park visitor center, Xiaoyoukeng, and Lengshuikeng. You can also take bus S15, which connects MRT Jiantan Station with Lengshuikeng on the east side of Mt. Qixing.

A couple of trails in Zhuzihu (竹子湖) have been renovated and connected (photo courtesy of GEO) TAIPEI (Taiwan News)—Most people know that Zhuzihu (竹子湖) ) is home to Yangmingshan's calla lilies, but few have any idea that the valley tucked between Taipei’s Mt. Tatun and Mt. Qixing was the earliest breeding base of Ponlai Rice (Japonica rice) when Taiwan was under Japanese colonial rule (1895 to 1945).

DAY FOUR: ONE DAY TRIP TO GRAND HOTEL, TAMSUI FISHERMANS WHARF, SHILIN NIGHT MARKET TAIWAN VLOG
Hey everyone,
I'm back from my Asia trip but I can't wait to share all the things I've checked out this trip! I'm slowly working on the rest of the videos so thank you so much for being so patient with me! SO for Day 4, we hired a private driver again. He drove us to multiple spots that I personally think is LESS popular. It was definitely not as exciting as DAY 3. Also the underground tunnel at the Grand Hotel was DEFINITELY not worth it. Would not recommend wasting time on that tour. The tour is in FULL mandarin so it won't be suitable for all travellers. Anyways, hope you all enjoy this vlog nonetheless!
