Yangming Park Introduction
Yangmingshan Park is located in the northern part of Taipei City, approximately 17 kilometers from the city center. During the Japanese colonial era, the area was abundant with grasses, which led to the name "Caoshan" (Grass Mountain). After the retrocession of Taiwan, in order to commemorate Mr. Wang Yangming, the name was changed to "Yangmingshan" in 1950, and the Yangmingshan National Park Administration was established to develop Yangmingshan Park. The park has an area of about 107 hectares, and after the administration was reorganized in 1977, the park management was handed over to the Engineering Management Office of Park Lighting. This park, part of the Datun Mountain range, has an elevation of 445 meters, with Qixing Mountain to the back, Shamao Mountain to the left, and Datun Mountain nearby, while Guanyin Mountain looms in the distance; it features a warm, humid climate, and cool summers, making it an excellent summer retreat. It is also the only place in Taiwan with a dead volcano topography, sulfur vents, and natural hot springs. The park is filled with various flowers such as plum, cherry, peach, apricot, rhododendron, and camellia; every spring, the blooming cherry blossoms attract many visitors to enjoy the flowers. Additionally, there is a flower clock made from various seasonal flowers. If you come here, don't forget to take a photo with the iconic flower clock of Yangmingshan. At Yangmingshan Park, you can appreciate flowers in spring, escape the heat in summer, enjoy the silver grass and maple leaves in autumn, and soak in hot springs in winter; the different beautiful sceneries and pleasures of the four seasons in Yangmingshan await your exploration!
