    Worth the extra hike past elephant mountain. Just make sure to bring water especially when it's warm.

    ★★★★★4 years ago

    Very nice hiking area. Just 5-6 minutes from Taipei 101. You can park your bike or car at the bottom of the mountain. No entrance fee. Well maintained roads. A must visit if you like walking in nature.
