Xiangshan Hiking Trail

Steep stairs - could be rough if you're a hiking scrub like me. Various stopping platforms along the way. Near the top there's an exercise area w a bunch of old men stretching - they'll show u tips

If you don't want to go all the way to the top take the first left when the trail branches. It offers a more than adequate view of Taipei 101 and vicinity.

if you have spare time definitely go. it's a short 20 minutes hike up the mountain , but it's worth it. you'll get the whole Taipei view and Taipei 101, but I suggest you go at night for the night view

B prepared 2sweat cos it's a long hard climb up d hill & yes,u will sweat like a pig even during d cool winter mths!Best view@d Photograher's Deck 3/4 way up.Nearest MRT stn:Xiangshan approx 750m away

Great view of Taipei 101 and the city , better to come overnight. Around 20 minutes with steep staircases to get to the view points.

Nice view at the top. You can probably catch photos of the sunset too

Scenic views at the top. Can get a bit crowded though. But very much worth the short hike .

Climb up the well built stairs for a good view of Taipei city and take nice shots with the iconic Taipei 101. Only 20 minutes up, totally worth it.

There probably isn’t anything better to do if you wake up very early like I did. The views are spectacular.

Just visited. Wore shorts , that was a mistake as there are plenty of mosquitoes. Bring repellant or wear pants. Also there are many steps so bring water and give yourself time to reach the summit.

Nice trail to get a spectacular view of Taipei (ideally at dusk). If you have some energy left you can continue further uphill.

View is awesome. But please dont wear thick clothes as you gonna sweat like a pig ! Hahaha anyway highly recommended ????

Short walk from 101; amazing views that will test your leg muscles on the climb up; look for the temple on the hill—entrance is just past it

Only takes 15-20 mins to get up to the top! Good view of Taipei’s skyline. I recommend it

Good view ! Lots of people will come at night so not too quiet and safe to come up here.

Even on a rainy, cloudy day the hike is rewarding and manageable. Lots of steps but shouldn't take you more than 25 minutes to the top.

Highly recommend for those into hiking ! There are many steps from the bottom to the top, but the effort to get up there is worth it.

A quick and easy hike with a redeeming view at the top, be careful of some steep steps to the top

Look for trails of the main path and into the dirt for great views of the city with no tourists around you

Steep climb , but not that far to the top. You’ll have work for it but you’ll get there quickly enough.

A short but tiring climb before a 100% rewarding night view of Taipei and Taipei 101. Consider skipping this place if there is fog surrounding Taipei 101.

Make sure you check out the great view of the Taipei cityscape . There are street lights all along so it is pretty safe to go at night.

Very beautiful trail to escape city life. Located close to MRT. Bring some water!

Easy25 minute hike up. The view is a dream. Go do the hike , walk to Taipei 101 then go the the China Kai Shek monument . It is the red line and I think the most efficient and cheapest thing to do.

Great place to view Taipei 101 and have a good walk. I didn't try the hiking route though.

Worth the climb , but be careful of the steep stairs!

If you come in the evenings, make sure you load up on mosquito repellent. I'm mean, drench yourself in deet without poisoning yourself if you can. View is amazing, but the mosquitos are ruthless

It's so worth it! Bring water and comfortable shoes ! Awesome experience!

Really steep steps for the untrained but the view at the top is worth it.

Great views of Taipei and a nice workout!

The trail is easy to find from MRT. It consists exclusively of manmade steps.

Short hike to the top. Careful climbing the rocks at night as it's very dark.

Great trail to overlook Taipei City !

safe route, a bit steep but still worth a great afternoon walk.

You can have a nice view of the 101 tower!

Very intense hike up all the stairs! Be careful in the dark. I slipped down the stairs :(

hard to climbing up. you should correct your luggage minimum when you visit.

Super nice place to hike

You must hike here!!

great view of taipei

Great access from the city .

Climb on a rock - best spot to enjoy TP's nightime skyline

Lots and lots of steps!!!

One of the best views of Taipei
