Yangmingshan National Park, National park in northern Taipei, Taiwan
The park extends across 11,455 hectares of mountains, encompassing volcanic formations, hot springs, grasslands, and forests with diverse plant species.
The area transformed from Caoshan during the Qing Dynasty to Yangmingshan in 1950, named after Ming Dynasty scholar Wang Yangming by Taiwan's leader Chiang Kai-shek.
Zhongxing Guesthouse, constructed in 1969, stands as a former summer residence of President Chiang Kai-shek, reflecting Taiwan's political heritage within the park.
Visitors can access the park through regular bus services from Taipei Main Station or Jiantan MRT Station, with routes 260, Red 30, and 208 stopping near the visitor center.
The Xiaoyoukeng area contains active fumaroles and sulfur deposits, leading to Mount Qixing, which offers views of Taipei from its 1,120-meter peak.
