Free foot hot spring: At small pavilions situated about 5 minutes walk from Lengshuikeng visitors' centre. Pretty crowded since not many seats available. Informative visitors' centre: Find out the entire topography of the Yangmingshan Mountain National Park by viewing the scaled version at the visitors' centre here. Also, learn more about the rock formations, the past industrial uses of the fumaroles or hot springs, ecological info of the park. Interesting for nerdy us. Hike to Qingtiangang Grasslands: Clear information of the trail outside the centre. 1.6km but with many steep steps so it takes an average of one hour to complete. Easy-to-follow trail with many clear distance-markers and arrows pointing to you which direction/path to take. Pass by Jingshan suspension bridge: On this trail, you'll pass by this suspension bridge and be able to take interesting shots from. Others: Apparently also walkable to the Juansi waterfalls towards the foot of the mountain but that's too far of a walk for us.

Qingtiangang is a grassland on part of the Yangmingshan national park. You will like it if: 1. You enjoy the sheer expanse of space and fresh air atop a mountain. 2. You enjoy watching cows graze. 3. Easily accessible by car as the car park is just 100 metres away. Public buses are available too for the budget-conscious. Comparing Qingtiangang and Cingjing Grasslands: 1. Qingtiangang is right inside Taipei city, on Yangmingshan, one of the few national parks in the world that's in a city. Also, there are many other attractions atop this Yangmingshan mountain. Cingjing is somewhat in central Taiwan so much harder (few hours ride or need to take the high speed train and transfers) to get to, be it from Taipei or Tainan airports. The main attraction in Cingjing is just the grassland and Swiss Garden, a manmade garden. 2. Qingtiangang is free compared to Cingjing Grassland. 3. Qingtiangang on Yangmingshan is open even at night so you can visit at night to enjoy the stunning nightview of the Taipei city from the top of a mountain. Cingjing Grassland the attraction closes at 5pm. 4. Cingjing has more animals and activities e.g. pony riding, sheep feeding, etc. Qingtiangang only has brown cows and they are not released to graze when the weather is bad. 5. Cingjing is more quaint and probably has more mountain lodges or 'minsu' and you can enjoy the mountain mist as you walk around the small town at night or in the morning. You can find overnight stays at Yangmingshan too but probably not as quaint as the feeling of staying in a small mountain town like Cingjing, and probably doesn't overlook the grasslands like the one at Cingjing.

The Park is located at the tip of a sandbar-islet at the confluence of the Keelung River and Tamsui River in Taipei. Just a hectare in size, the Lilliputian park offers an outsized view of the scenic riverside area. This green oasis was created by the Taipei City Government with sand and earth dredged from the Keelung River. The park facilities include stone and wood-plank walkways leading to a viewing platform that has also become a favorite spot for local fishermen. The park offers an excellent 270-degree view of the river confluence and surrounding area, including Guandu Temple to the right, the dazzling red Guandu Bridge spanning the Tamsui River, and Guanyinshan to the left. The park is also a popular foraging spot for little egrets, adding further to the scenic portrait here. To the left of the viewing platform you can also see a lush mangrove wetland area, echoing the ecology at Guandu Nature Park on the opposite bank. If you arrive during the low tide, you can also see the fiddler crabs busily scuttling through the mangroves.

Yangming Shan, also known as Yangming Mountain, is in a hilly region to the north of Taipei. Many people had weekenders there when US forces were stationed in Taiwan, when it was known as Grass Mountain. The US forces left Taiwan in 1979, when the US recognized Beijing as the government of all China; it's still a popular day out.. Yangming Shan can get quite chilly in winter, when it is well-known for its plum blossoms. The plum tree blooms when the weather is coldest. During the martial law period the song "Mei Hua" (plum flower) was recognized by almost everyone in Taiwan. Getting to Yangming Shan is not difficult, it takes around an hour by public transport.
