Yangmingshan National Park

Taipei’s backyard volcanoes. Feb–Mar cherry and azalea, Mar–Apr calla lilies, autumn silvergrass. Qixing Peak 1,120m + fumaroles. Hike + onsen day.

Why a backyard mountain

Datun volcano group: andesite cones, crater lakes and fumaroles in a national park reached by city bus. Spring blossoms, summer fireflies, autumn grass, winter snow on Qixing in cold snaps—reasons year-round.

Must-do

Qixing Main Peak 1,120m: Taipei’s highest; 360° city-and-sea views; intermediate 3–4 hrs.
Xiaoyoukeng fumaroles: sulfur steam + landslide terrain; strongest volcano feel.
Qingtiangang grassland + Zhuzihu: grazing cattle + Mar–Apr calla season; best with kids.
Flower season Feb–Mar: Yangming Park cherries + azaleas draw crowds—go at opening. Autumn silvergrass and maples.

Access & time needed

Bus 260/Red 5 from MRT Jiantan/Shilin, or 260 direct from Taipei Main. Stay half to full day.
Holiday traffic jams: enter before 8am. Finish downhill with an onsen.

Tips

Rainy and foggy; raincoat + grippy shoes. Stay on trails at fumaroles; mask and leave if gas is strong.
Wild cattle at Qingtiangang: keep distance, no feeding.

Photo spots

Fumarole steam, grassland cattle, 360° summit, flower-season fields.

半小時的車程，就能從水泥森林躍進雲霧之巔。陽明山，是台北給予旅人最沈靜的擁抱。

陽明山是台北的綠色靈魂，一座與繁華都會僅有咫尺之隔、卻能讓人瞬間沈浸在原野壯闊中的火山博物館。從硫磺噴發的小油坑、銀白浪潮般的擎天崗草原，到四季如畫的大屯自然公園。在那雲霧繚繞、地熱蒸騰與花卉盛開的脈動中，展現出一種壯麗、迷幻且極具季節感知度的森林美學。這是大自然對這座擁擠城市最慷慨、最有溫度的留白。
