Yangming Mountain
Yangming Mountain, standing high in the north of Taiwan, is very close to downtown Taipei. Boasting volcanic sights, tranquil valleys, various plants and hot springs, the mountain is the largest and most beautiful natural area on the whole island. The mountain can be divided into two parts: the Front Mountain Park, also known as Zhongzheng Park, features exquisitely designed bridges, elegant pavilions and beautiful flowers; the Back Mountain Park, also called Yangming Mountain Park, is well known for its volcanoes, crater lakes and hot springs.
