  1. Your driver-guide will meet you in the hotel lobby or on the 1st floor, holding a sign with your name.

  2. On the way into Yangmingshan National Park, you might have the chance to see Formosan macaques. The elevation is approximately 700 to 1,000 meters, so it will be slightly cooler than the city. The main attractions are Qingtiangang Grassland and Xiaoyoukeng Recreation Area.

  3. Perched atop Yangmingshan National Park, Qingtiangang is a vast, flat grassland that offers spectacular panoramic views. With an elevation of approximately 800 meters, the temperature is slightly cooler than the city, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely walk or a picnic. (You can bring your own food & drinks!) During the Japanese occupation, this area was established as a ranch for grazing cattle. Today, you can still spot wild water buffalo and other wildlife leisurely grazing here. Due to its high altitude, the area is often shrouded in clouds and mist, creating a unique and ethereal beauty. p.s. It’s about an 800-meter walk on a flat, paved path.

  4. Located on the northwestern corner of Mt. Qixing at an elevation of approximately 805 meters, Xiaoyoukeng is a post-volcanic geological park where you can witness active volcanic phenomena firsthand. As you get closer, you can see steam vents and smell the distinct scent of sulfur from the volcanic activity. This area serves more as a viewing platform, so you don't need to walk a long distance to enjoy the impressive scenery.

  5. Yehliu Geopark is one of northern Taiwan's premier destinations, home to a collection of unique geological formations carved by the wind and sea. While the park is most famous for the iconic Queen's Head, you can also discover other remarkable formations like Sea Candles, Fairy Shoe, Ginger Rocks, and Princess' Head. As the park is an open and exposed area with little to no shelter, it's important to be prepared for the weather. In winter, the strong northeast monsoon can feel quite cold and chilly. During the summer, the sun is very intense, so it is highly recommended to wear sun-protective clothing or bring an umbrella and to stay hydrated. p.s. The walk is approximately 1,000–1,500 meters along a flat, paved path. It’s near the coast, so it can sometimes be windy.

  6. Back to hotels or other spots you preferred in Taipei City at the end of the tour.
