Shamao Mountain, Mountain summit in Beitou District, Taiwan
Shamao Mountain rises to an elevation of 643 meters, featuring a round volcanic dome structure in the Tatun Volcano Group of northern Taiwan.
The mountain formed through viscous lava flows that created its distinct tholoid shape, marking it as a parasitic volcano of the larger Qixing Mountain.
Local residents regularly visit the mountain trails for exercise and outdoor activities, integrating the natural landscape into their daily fitness routines.
The mountain trails remain accessible throughout the year, with October through April offering the most favorable weather conditions for hiking activities.
The summit's geological formation resembles a black gauze cap, leading to its name Shamao, which directly translates to this distinctive characteristic.
