Although I couldn't see anything of the city from the top of the mountain due to the weather, my hike up Mount Qixing was great. It's definitely doable even though you're not a "proper" hiker (I've had the unhealthy lifestyle of an exchange student for the past five months, was wearing worn-out sneakers, and I still survived) but be aware...

Yangmingshan is great place to visit. You can visit the post volcanic attraction, great place for hiking though the weather can be a bit cold and misty. There are also a public hot spring bath area.

The flower field is nice, but the park itself not too great as it's name. You need to expect traffic jam as too many tourists will be there.

went carla lilies plucking but i couldn't bring it on board so thats quite a bummer. love the pickled fruits sold along side the hillside

This place was recommended by the local taxi driver. Beautiful sceneries, Refreshing air, Harmony & Peace. Weather is very cold, but we do enjoy our day trip there. Great experience.

Go during the right season to see the flowers bloom and to have a complete experience to see sulphuric gas at the mountain tops, it might only be accessible by booking a cab.

the callalily are still in sight. zuzhihu easily accessible by shuttle bus number 9 from xinbeitou mrt station. ate the famous chicken and a wild vegetable with fried noodle. was cloudy and chilly when i was there and upon alighting from the shuttle bus, visited one of the eatery for a bowl of piping hot sweet potato dessert.

Yangmingshan is great for phototaking and viewing of the scenaries! I explored the Zhuzihu (Bamboo lake) and Xiao You Keng of YangMingShan, and the views are amazing.

Visited in April. Perfect weather for a stroll or panic on the mountains. Also managed to see lilies in bloom. A worthwhile place to visit. Wear appropriate footwear!
