Year 2018 and watching the fireworks display at Taipei 101 is on many people’s event calendar. One of the best places to watch the fireworks display is from Xiangshan (Elephant Mountain), which is accessible via a few trails.
For people who are not familiar with the different routes to the top of Xiangshan, the easiest way is to take the Xinyi Line (Red Line), alight at Xiangshan Station, and leave at no. 2 exit.
Coming out of the station, eye-catching guide signs ahead introduce the Xiangshan Trail in detail. After scanning the QR code on it with your cell phone, you can carry the route to get there with you. Walk easily along Lane 150, Section 5, Xinyi Road for 5 minutes, you can arrive at the hiking entrance of Lingyun Temple (靈雲宮). While climbing along the wide staircase, you can experience the quiet yet flourishing woods, as you are teleported from the hustling city in an instant into Mother Nature. [FULL STORY]
