Yangmingshan National Park
Best time to visit
Early morning on weekdays gives clearer skies and fewer crowds, great for views and photos; late February to April brings cherry blossoms and calla lilies while autumn offers crisp air and excellent visibility.
Budget tips
National park access is free, though some hot spring facilities and private gardens charge entry; use an EasyCard on Taipei buses (eg Bus 260, R5) to cut transfer costs.

About
Γρήγορα στοιχεία: Misty trails release a mineral tang as steaming fumaroles and bubbling hot springs punctuate fields of bright cherry and azalea blooms. Hikers can loop short crater trails to find panoramic ridgelines and rare volcanic landscapes, where cool forests sit alongside warm geothermal vents.
Κύρια σημεία: Steam hisses from fumaroles at Xiaoyoukeng, where mineral-streaked rocks and a sulfur tang make the air taste metallic, a raw reminder that you're standing on one of the seven volcanoes of the Datun range. On sunny weekends families spread checkered blankets on Qingtiangang's windswept grassland, nibbling warm 'hot-spring eggs' bought from vendors near Lengshuikeng while chrysanthemums and azaleas paint the slopes in pinks and whites.
Insider tips
- Dress in layers and carry a light rain jacket, temperatures change quickly with altitude.
- Wear sturdy shoes for uneven volcanic trails, many scenic spots require short uphill walks.
- Visit Xiaoyoukeng early for dramatic steam photos and fewer visitors, head to Qingtiangang meadow for wide open landscapes.
- Take the Taipei buses (260, R5 or S15) with an EasyCard and avoid weekends midday to skip long parking lines.
