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.

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.

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.

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.
