Xiangshan Peak (Elephant Mountain)

Highlight • Summit

One of the peaks with a view of the city. There's also a small shelter here if you get caught in the rain. I recommend continuing on; it becomes more secluded and the paths become more natural over time.

View of Taipei 101 from Elephant Mountain
