If you take MRT, then you can find stamp in front of exit 2, the exist to Xiangshan trail. Just follow those people who looks like to hiking XD.
Because most of people visit here for hiking, the place you can look out the view of Taipei City and Taipei 101 so that many people come to here whenever it is.
Most of people come to Xiangshan hiking trail for night views and firework show in New year eve because the mountain nearby Taipei 101 and the beautiful view. Here is a romantic place for couples but please take care of your partner if they’re not the person for outdoor activities. There are many trials to the Giant rock in Xiangshan, my cousins are not exercise animals so we picked up another easy trail for them which is far but flat.
It’s a big encouragement when you see Taipei 101 on the way to peak so I cheated my cousins almost there but they walked after half hour then we just on the half and arrived another famous place " 6 Giant Rocks". Lots of people queue for take pictures.
It’s almost arrive 6 giant rocks when you find "象山“ stone.
Xiangshan hiking trail is a nice place for city people who like to look out beautiful view in Taipei or Taipei 101, and it’s a nice place for people to hiking and forget the busy working day where you can arrive by MRT, bus or riding Bike in Taipei City. Although hiking might be an exhausting activity for some people but it’s a good activity to relaxing and go out. Especially to look beautiful views and the cool winds.
