[2025 Taipei Attraction] Travel Guide for Yangmingshan National Park (Updated Jul)

After cherry blossoms, azaleas, and calla lilies, Yangmingshan now welcomes the hydrangea season. This year, the hydrangea bloom runs from May 23 to June 22. If you're a fan of hydrangeas, don't miss this limited-time floral spectacle. The hydrangea fields are located around Zhuzihu, with notable spots including Datiantian, Caojia, Gaojia, and Caifu. Each location offers its own unique charm, with entrance fees ranging from NT$100 to NT$200. At Gaojia, the entrance fee is NT$200, which includes a NT$100 voucher for purchases within the park. This is one of the most popular flower fields, and the owner frequently updates the bloom status on their Facebook page. Walking paths are thoughtfully arranged between the flower fields, allowing visitors to take photos without disturbing one another. The color of hydrangeas depends on the soil's pH level. Acidic soil produces blue or light blue flowers, while alkaline soil results in purple or red blooms. It's said that neutral soil can grow white hydrangeas, though pure white ones are rarely seen in the park. According to staff, only the central 3 cm of a hydrangea is the actual flower, while the beautiful outer parts are sepals. Nowadays, there are hundreds of hydrangea varieties available. During the flower season, traffic restrictions are in place at Yangmingshan. Visitors are advised to take public transportation. 📍Gaojia Hydrangea Second Garden Address: No. 112, Zhuzihu Road, Beitou District, Taipei City 🕰️ Opening Hours: 5:00 AM to 6:00 PM 🚗 From Taipei Main Station, take bus 260 to Yangmingshan Terminal; from Jiantan, take Red 5; from Beitou Station, take Small 9—all stop at the terminal, within walking distance.

When you go to Taiwan, you must not miss the sea of ​​hydrangeas!!! 🌸Yangmingshan is regarded as the back garden of Taipei people. It is famous for its geothermal hot springs and other things. In recent years, the hydrangea fields in Zhuzihu, Yangmingshan are particularly popular. From May to July, when the hydrangeas bloom, everyone rushes in to take pictures👨‍👨‍👧‍👦👨‍👨‍👦‍👦👨‍👨‍👧‍👧. The flower fields are all planted by local farmers. Many of them are open to visitors for a fee, and the ticket price is around NT$100💲. The most famous of these is the Gao Family Hydrangea Field. Because hydrangeas are almost as tall as humans, the family specially planted a tall flower wall, which is very photogenic. But the consequence of being famous is that there are so many people, and you need to queue up to take pictures 👨‍👨‍👧‍👧It is also quite embarrassing to pose in front of so many people... However, photography enthusiasts can make an appointment by phone during the morning period of 5-8, when there will be fewer people (in order to divert the flow of people, the Gao family has specially opened a larger second park). Therefore, I recommend the relatively niche 👉Cai Fu Calla Lily Field👈. The owner and staff are super friendly. Compared with other niche flower fields, its layout is more photogenic📷. Although you don’t have to queue like Gaojia Flower Field, it is still recommended to go there on weekdays in the morning when there are fewer people (the light in the morning or evening is also beautiful for taking photos 🌇🌄). The food in the cafe in the park is very good☕️It is suitable for enjoying the scenery and chatting. If you have time, you can also visit the famous Xiaoyoukeng attraction with sulfurous hot steam. 🕙The best time for hydrangeas is at the end of May, and they bloom until almost the end of June. 🚌During the weekend, there will be traffic restrictions in Yangmingshan. It is recommended to take public transportation to the Caifu Calla Lily Farm. 🕙Opening hours: 9:00-18:00, the first 50 visitors to enter the park last year received hydrangea ornaments~

🌸 If you're traveling to Taiwan in early summer, you must visit Yangmingshan, home to the most beautiful hydrangea fields. Strolling through these fields feels like walking in a fairyland—it's incredibly romantic. 💗💗 Hydrangea Blooming Season: Every year from May to July. The blooming season is divided into two periods: the first ends around June 15, and the second begins at the end of June. 💗💗 How to Get There: 1. Take Bus 260 from Taipei Main Station to Yangmingshan Bus Stop. 2. Take the MRT to Shilin Station, exit from Exit 1, and catch Bus 15 to Yangmingshan. Once you arrive at the bus stop at the foot of the mountain, walk forward for 10 minutes to find the circular shuttle bus route 108. A one-day pass costs 60 NTD. Major stops include Yangming Shuwu (walk to Yangming Shuwu Management Station), Zhuzihu Police Station (walk to Zhuzihu), Erziping (Erziping Trailhead), Lengshuikeng Station (towards Qingtiangang), Qingtiangang, and Silk Waterfall Station. All these stops are scenic spots worth visiting. Zhuzihu is a natural park, and most hydrangea farms are located here. 💗💗 Recommended Farms: 1. Datitian Flower Ecological Farm: Known for planting hydrangeas on terraced fields, creating a stunning layered effect. Yangmingshan Zhuzihu Hydrangea Garden: Hydrangeas are beautifully arranged along stone walls, making it easy to capture picturesque photos. 2. Gaojia Hydrangea Field: This farm features a sea of flowers with diverse varieties, surrounded by mountains in the distance and flowers nearby. 💗💗 Tips: 1. Try to visit in the morning, as the fields get crowded with visitors in the afternoon. 2.

However, most farms offer ticket discounts for purchases, allowing you to enjoy coffee or buy flowers on-site. 3. If you want to visit multiple flower fields with different styles in one day, consider hiring a car. Drivers are familiar with the best spots to visit.

[Location] Yangmingshan, Taipei City, Xiaoguanyin Mountain Group, 795-1070 meters above sea level, the entire journey is about 10.8 kilometers. [Transportation] It is recommended to drive to the Anbu parking lot to board the bus, or take a bus to Yangmingshan and then take a minibus (towards Xiaoyoukeng) to Anbu. There are few buses, so please check in advance. [Route] Anbu parking lot → West Peak → West West Peak → North Peak → Main Peak → Anbu Weather Station → back to the parking lot, the whole journey is an O-shaped vertical walk. [Experience] The starting point is hidden in a pile of reeds, so be careful as the front section is slippery. Behind the West Peak, a wide ridge opens up, revealing the Matcha Valley. The most challenging journey is from Xixi Peak to Bei Peak, where the muddy slide and steep slope cut test your physical strength. After conquering the North Peak, I felt relaxed. Although there were clouds and fog on the main peak, I still felt the vastness of the mountains and forests. Finally, we crossed the Cryptomeria forest and the asphalt road. We persevered throughout the whole journey and gained a lot! 【Friendly reminder】 📍Essential hiking poles, gloves and plenty of water 📍The route is slippery and difficult, be sure to download the offline map 📍Assess your physical strength, don’t go there rashly on rainy days, safety first #AprilGoodDestinations2025

Today's itinerary starts at the geothermal scenic area of Yangmingshan, a place with magnificent natural scenery and unique geothermal landscapes. In the morning, I took the MRT to Yangmingshan, and with the gentle breeze on my face, I felt particularly joyful. As soon as I entered the geothermal scenic area, the first thing that caught my eye was the steam vents emitting hot steam, with a faint smell of sulfur in the air. Walking along the trail, surrounded by green trees and flowers, I felt the vitality of nature. The geothermal fountains here occasionally spout hot water, like the pulse of nature, which is truly amazing. I took many photos here, especially in front of the steaming mud pools, as if I were in a fantastical painting. Finally, I stood on a viewing platform, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Yangmingshan, feeling an immense sense of tranquility. Next, I drove to Jiufen Old Street, known for its ancient streets and unique mountain town charm. As I walked into Jiufen Old Street, the small shops on both sides were dazzling, exuding the aroma of various delicacies. Red lanterns hung high, adding a touch of festivity and romance to the entire street. I specifically chose A-Mei Tea House, known for its rich tea culture and elegant environment. Sitting by the window, savoring the fragrant Taiwanese tea, the mountain scenery and street view outside the window complemented each other, giving me a sense of leisure. The tea house staff patiently introduced the types of tea and brewing techniques, giving me a deeper understanding of Taiwanese tea culture. After enjoying afternoon tea at A-Mei Tea House, I continued to wander along the old street. The red lanterns looked particularly charming under the sunset, filling the entire street with warm lights. I tasted local snacks such as taro balls and grass cakes, with unique flavors that left a lasting impression. Ending this day's itinerary, my heart was full of emotion and satisfaction. From the natural beauty of Yangmingshan to the cultural heritage of Jiufen Old Street, this trip to Taipei made me fall in love with this city even more. Every corner is full of stories, and every scene is mesmerizing. I hope to return to this land in the future to continue exploring more beauty.

The flowering period of plum blossoms is generally from January to March. During this period, the Plum Garden area of ​​Yangmingshan will attract a large number of photography enthusiasts and tourists to take photos and appreciate these beautiful flowers. In Yangmingshan National Park, plum blossoms are mainly concentrated in the Meiyuan area.

You can take bus S15 from Jiantan MRT Station directly to Qingtian Gang. In the summer, the temperature at Qingtian Gang in the morning is 5 to 6 degrees lower than in the city, making it very cool and pleasant. The Qingtian Gang grassland is one of the most beautiful areas in Yangmingshan. The vast, flat grassland combined with easy-to-walk wooden paths makes it suitable for all ages. You can closely observe the ecology of the free-roaming water buffaloes at Qingtian Gang and enjoy a distant view of Taipei City. Upon arriving at Qingtian Gang, your mood will instantly brighten. If you don't want to take the bus back directly, you can hike to Lengshuikeng or Jyuansi Waterfall to absorb some phytoncides. Lengshuikeng is closer, and on the way, you will pass through the Jingshan Suspension Bridge and a small white pool called Milk Lake, which is also a small attraction in Yangmingshan. At Lengshuikeng, there are free hot springs to relieve fatigue, or you can just soak your feet to ease soreness. 📍Lengshuikeng Address: No. 175, Lane 101, Jingshan Road, Shilin District, Taipei City 📍Qingtian Gang Address: No. 246, Lane 101, Jingshan Road, Shilin District, Taipei City

The Qigu Wild Stream Hot Spring at the foot of Yangmingshan Mountain is located in Yangmingshan National Park in northern Taiwan. It is a relatively hidden natural hot spring that has not been developed on a large scale. The hot springs here are wild stream hot springs, which means that the hot spring water naturally gushes out from the mountains and flows on the riverbed, forming a natural hot spring pool, full of primitive natural charm. Due to its geographical location and natural state, Xiaqigu Wild Stream Hot Spring has also become a favorite of many travelers who love adventure and being close to nature. The water quality of Xiaqigu Wild Creek Hot Spring is a sulfur spring with a faint sulfur smell. The water temperature varies greatly, and hot springs and cold springs are intertwined, allowing tourists to find an area that suits their body senses for bathing. Soaking here, you can feel the surrounding green mountains and waters and the tranquility of nature, which is a relaxing experience hard to find in urban life. 🌸【Nearby Attractions】 🔸️Xiaoyoukeng Sulfur Landscape: The unique volcanic terrain and smoking geothermal vents are one of the most distinctive natural landscapes on Yangmingshan. 🔸️Yangmingshan National Park: After soaking in the hot springs, you can visit other attractions in Yangmingshan, such as Xiaoyoukeng, Lengshuikeng and other volcanic terrain landscapes. 🔸️Bamboo Lake🔸️: Bamboo Lake in spring is a great place to view calla lilies and hydrangeas, with beautiful scenery. 🌸【Must-eat food】 🔸️Yangmingshan Hot Spring Eggs: Hot spring eggs cooked with local hot spring water are soft, tender and delicious with a special taste. 🔸️Zhuzihu Farmhouse Cuisine: There are many local farmhouse restaurants in Zhuzihu where you can taste fresh vegetables, local chicken soup and other dishes. 🔸️Healthy yam dishes: The yam dishes in Yangmingshan area are very famous.

It's free to enter. Douliu Forest is located near the McDonald's on Yangde Boulevard, adjacent to Qing Shan Road leading to Qingtiangang. Opposite is the direction of the American military housing and Chinese Culture University. This prime location allows you to also visit the Western-style houses of the American military housing. The courtyard is filled with places to sit and rest, naturally slowing down your pace. Taipei is small and crowded, with overlapping lives and immense work and family pressures. Although life is convenient, it's easy to overlook the things around you or the care of others. Fortunately, Taipei has mountains and water. If you want to escape and find peace, come to Yangmingshan. Because of this forest, you will linger. And because you linger, you will be accompanied by greenery and sunlight, pouring a moment of leisure into your coffee and savoring a taste of beauty.

Yangmingshan National Park, located in northern Taiwan near Taipei, is renowned for its beautiful scenery and diverse flora. There are numerous hiking trails in Yangmingshan of varying difficulty levels. I chose Qingtiangang Circular Trail, one of the easiest hiking trails to bring my two kids for a hike. The circular trail starts at Lingtouyan land god temple at Qingtiangang, passing Qingtiangang Grassland, Yangmingshan Ranch and leads back to the land god temple. The trail is around 2.4 kilometers long. The trail offers unobstructed views of the nearby Mt Qixing, Mt. Qigu, Mt. Huangzuei and Mt. Zhugao. We also saw water buffalos wandering across the grassland. 📍Qingtiangang Circular Trail (擎天岗环形步道) #gohiking #taiwan #taipei #yangmingshan #nationalpark #qingtiangang #grassland #hiking #trail #tripblazers

📌Yangmingshan national park⛰️ is a national park in Mingshan Mountain, Taipei, Taiwan, which has another beautiful view on the mountain. There is a flower clock garden with a variety of flowers.

#台湾地方游 Although Yangmingshan Lengshuikeng is called Lengshui, it has hot spring baths and free foot soaking pools. There are trails of varying difficulty in the surrounding area, leading to Qingtiangang, the nursery, and Taipei City’s highest peak, Qixing Mountain. You can hike on flat roads or climb mountains. In addition to providing tourist information, the visitor center also has public toilets, a coffee shop and outdoor picnic tables and chairs. There are also suspension bridges, pavilions, milk lakes and wetland ecological landscapes nearby, which is a relaxing space suitable for all ages. In late autumn and early winter, flowers are flying everywhere, Metasequoia and maple are brilliant, and the scenery is pleasant.

#wheretogo One of my reasons for visiting Taiwan was to to explore Yangmingshan National Park. The highlight, Cixing Mountain, a dormant volcano, offers breathtaking panoramic views of lush greenery, hot springs, and diverse flora. My plan was to summit Mt Cixing in a day trip from Taipei and this was done successfully with time to spare. Yangmingshan's volcanic landscapes, replete with hot springs, make it an ideal place to relax and rejuvenate. Whether you're into hiking or simply seeking tranquility, this picturesque region is a must-visit for its natural beauty, therapeutic baths, and proximity to Taipei, ensuring a perfect day trip or weekend getaway.

When talking about mountain climbing in Taiwan, the first thing that comes to mind must be Yangmingshan! Yangmingshan is located in the Greater Taipei area, and it is very convenient to travel up the mountain whether taking the bus or renting a car. This time we went to one of the peaks called Qingtiangang, which had no special tourist facilities except a visitor center and a small coffee shop. So most people went to the lawn to take pictures and check in(?) We saw a couple taking wedding photos that day🤵🏻‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️, and also saw groups of college students taking graduation photos🎓 There are more cows than people on the mountain. It is indeed a very healing scene to see the cows living peacefully on the mountain. And there is no entrance fee to go up the mountain (you need to pay for parking fees if you drive, use EasyCard), which is especially suitable for you who want to chill and get close to nature. Because there are no other buildings on the mountain, tourists who are used to staying in the city may reserve two or three hours to check in and chill, which is enough. After going down the mountain, we went to a restaurant at the foot of the mountain called "White House Yang Ming Cafe" for afternoon tea. The restaurant was converted from a US military dormitory, and its European-style decoration makes people feel very comfortable. We ordered fried rice and cake, and two hours passed while we chatted and ate 🤣 #WeekendTour #OverseasTour #Taiwan #Yangmingshan #foodphotography #couple #relax

2023.02 #TaipeiTravel_My11th #TaiwanTravel!! In order to go to the #TaipeiTravelSpot that I had been waiting for for years, I first visited the village at the foot of #Yangmingshan (#陽明山). That's because there is a #Starbucks (#starbucks / #星巴克) #Chaoshanmenshi (#草山門市) branch right here. The entire village looks like a ranch village somewhere in the Western mountains, probably because the US military was stationed in this area. Anyway, the unique scenery of this place and the unique Starbucks store located inside it made the heart of a #Starbucks fanatic flutter. While drinking a cup of refreshing latte, I felt proud while looking at the #Starbucks card that I got from the Chaoshanmenshi branch, and then I went outside and sat in the garden and had a healing time literally while basking in the sun. Next time on #Taipei trip, I want to come with some time to spare and stay for about half a day. #TaiwanTravel #taipei #taipeitravel #taiwan #taiwantravel #台北 #台北旅游 #台灣旅游 #worldtravel

It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk from the flower clock to the waterfall area. Street vendors sell roasted sweet potatoes and nostalgic marble soda. An open-air corridor at the intersection of the trail. It feels like entering a Miyazaki animation scene. You can overlook the entire Taipei through the corridor. It just happened to be drizzling when we came. We were the only ones who enjoyed the beautiful scenery. The waterfall is not as spectacular as imagined. But the tranquility and comfort in the mountains can make people relieve their fatigue. #台北 #阳明山 #瀑布 #台pei #taipeitravel
