Escape to YangMingShan (QingTiangGang & LengShuiKeng) 🍃🌳

Just an hour from Taipei Main Station, Yangmingshan is the perfect getaway from the city buzz. 🏞️ From steaming volcanic landscapes at Xiaoyoukeng, to the wide open Qingtiangang Grassland, and seasonal flower fields in Zhuzihu — this place is a dream for nature lovers, hikers, and photographers alike. 📸 🚆 How to Get There 🚊MRT + 🚌 Bus: Take the Red Line to Jiantan Station, then hop on Bus R5 or S15 straight to Yangmingshan. 🚏Direct Bus: Bus 260 from Taipei Main Station ➝ Yangmingshan Bus Terminal. 🚕Taxi/Uber: Around 30–40 mins if you want convenience, especially with friends. 🐄 Qingtiangang Grassland (擎天崗) Known as the “Green Carpet of Taipei”, Qingtiangang is a highland meadow formed by volcanic activity. The area is covered in lush grasslands and dotted with grazing cattle, making it feel like a scene out of a countryside postcard. ♨️ Hiking to Lengshuikeng Hot Springs Instead of returning the same way, you can take a scenic trail from Qingtiangang to Lengshuikeng. This route lets you enjoy more of Yangmingshan’s volcanic landscapes and lush forest scenery along the way 🌿🏞️. 💡Tips: ✔️ Wear comfortable shoes 👟 for uneven trails. ✔️ Bring water and snacks — food options are limited inside. #qingtiangang #lengshuikeng #yangmingshan #taipeitravel #taiwannature #exploretaiwan #taipeigetaway #hiddengemtaipei #natureescape #traveltaiwan
