Qingtiangang, Grassland plateau in Yangmingshan National Park, Taiwan.
The Qingtiangang area spans across an elevated plateau with grazing cattle, formed by ancient volcanic lava flows in northern Taiwan.
During the Japanese colonial period from 1895 to 1945, the land transformed into a cattle ranch with carpet grass planted for grazing purposes.
The name Qingtiangang originates from a military garrison that protected Taipei, with the term meaning 'sky propping pillar' in Chinese.
Visitors can access the 2.4-kilometer circular trail from the visitor center, where free guided tours depart twice daily at 9:30 AM and 1:30 PM.
The plateau experiences distinct weather patterns from surrounding areas, receiving more sunlight while neighboring regions remain covered in fog.
