View of Taipei 101 from the Xiangshan lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is just the beginning of the hike, there are many, many steps and even more beautiful viewpoints awaiting you. And the number of people is also getting smaller and smaller, hold on.

Xiangshan Photography Platform (View of Taipei 101)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The whole mountain is a park, beautiful nature, well-kept paths, great views. The further up you go, the fewer people you meet.

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

Highlight • Viewpoint

That's why you did the climb! Enjoy the view and think about whether you wouldn't like to go further because then you would be (almost) alone. Pleasant change after the crowds on this lovely weekend.

Five Yuan Rock Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

You no longer encounter “mass tourism” here. But you also have to earn the view, there are actually a lot of steps leading up here. I recommend visiting the temples on the mountain on the way.

Six Giant Rocks (Elephant Mountain)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The path becomes steeper and winds through a stale gorge between huge stones. Certainly a worthwhile intermediate goal and motivation for the children. For adults, a nice wild spot on this rather well-maintained path.

Steep ascent to Elephant Mountain

Highlight • Trail

Many, many steps lead up the mountain. Framed by countless elephants but above all connecting many beautiful viewpoints.

The path is not long, but it is beautiful and the view is magnificent. At a tropical 33°C you still work up a sweat😅
