Thrilling

I'm not going to lie, for someone who doesn't exercise regularly like me this was a struggle. But it is most definitely worth the pain. The steps begin pretty normal and after a little while they start getting steeper and narrower to the point where...More

Morning workout

Good workout - about a 20 minute climb to the top viewing platforms (10 minutes to the first). Not for people with bad knees. Saw families with little kids. Near XiangShan subway. Easy Peasy. Better than Taipei 101.

Best location to see the view of night Taipei city

Here you can see a great view plus good exercise. You just prepare yourself for hiking but special hiking boots are not necessarily needed.

Best photo spot with Taipei 101

If you want the best photo with Taipei 101 dont miss the Elephant Mountain. Just be ready for hiking but surely worth it. Accessible via MRT Xiangshan station and by walk from Taipei 101.

Great view of Taipei 101

It's the best place to enjoy the full view of Taipei 101 and the surrounding metro. It's not too shabby a climb up several steps. Many local does their trail running training some would even run up and down the steps front and back ways....More
