[Taiwan] Hiking on Mount Jiantan, just behind the Yuanshan Hotel

#Outdoor2024 Hiking Jiantan Mountain is a spectacular spot that can be easily accessed from the center of Taipei. The hiking trail is relatively short, so even beginners can enjoy it easily, but the views along the way are spectacular. It is especially moving at dusk, when the slowly setting sun paints the Taipei cityscape golden. By the time you reach the top, you can see the night view of Taipei. Taipei 101, towering in the distance, floats in the night sky like a shining jewel, and the neon-colored cityscape spreads out before you, and the view is breathtakingly beautiful. The night view of Taipei from the quiet top of the mountain while feeling the night breeze is a special moment that makes you forget the hustle and bustle of the city. In addition, the hiking trail is well maintained, and there are rest areas and benches here and there, so you can proceed at your own pace.

Jiantanshan Trail

#AugustGoodPlaces2025 I've hiked the Yuanshan Trail several times, but I didn't realize until this trip that there are several routes. I've probably only hiked one-tenth of it before. Today, I started from the trail next to the Grand Hotel and continued down Tongbei Street. The entire hike took about an hour, which is quite easy. There are several Kuomintang checkpoints along the way. They're now abandoned, of course, but you can imagine how heavily fortified this area was in the past, protecting Chiang Kai-shek. There are also several rest stops along the way with expansive views. You can watch planes taking off and landing in Dazhi or the Guanyin Mountain area in Beitou. Next time, I might go in the evening to take pictures of the sunset; it should be beautiful. Any friends who enjoy hiking? Let's make a date and hike together!
