Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

On Sep 16. 1985, Yangmingshan National Park was formally established, which includes Yangmingshan and volcano groups, which takes Datun Mountain and Qixing Mountain as a center. Yangmingshan is famous for its four flower seasons: calla lily, cherry blossom, Hydrangea, and bamboo. This park also has diverse recreational facilities of hiking trails and wildlife like black pines, acacia trees, and the Formosan sweet gum. Because of the influence of volcanic activity, the ground surrounding the sulfur vents and hot springs was formed, making it unique and magnificent. There is Macao hot spring here. Because of sulfur mining, it is a fumaroles spring with smoke.

Walking down the Qingtiangang Grassland Trail, you will see the misty landscape from Ynagmingshan. The panoramic view of mountain and grassland may make visitors miss when you have wanderlust at work. Because of the ranch of cattle was here under Japanese rule, you may find the cows here now.

In Zhuzihu, it is often rainy and misty, and damp. So if you overlook Taipei 101 from here, it may stand in the hazy mist. Besides, you can have a walk along the arrow bamboo trail after picking calla lily in Zhuzihu from March to May. The bamboo nearby grows in dense clusters. It is the perfect wind-breaking barrier. Tourists can relax and listen to the sound that wind flows through the bamboo forest.
