Elephant Mountain - ideal spot for panoramic views of Taipei
Elephant mountain (or Mount Elephant) about 183 meters high is located in the Xinyi district in the heart of Taipei, considered an ideal place to enjoy panoramic city views. You have to climb about 1.5 km from the base of the new mountain up to The Six giant rocks at the top - the last stop for sightseeing. This is also a favorite place for photographers because from here it is possible to take beautiful pictures, covering the iconic tower of Taiwan - Taipei 101

Compared to other mountains, Elephant Mountain is not high, but visitors have to climb about more than 1,000 steps to reach the top. So good health is a prerequisite. Besides, the weather in early spring in Taiwan is quite cool
It is therefore advisable to have a light jacket ready for use when needed.Mountain climbing shoes must have grip, absolutely do not wear high heels because there is a mossy, dangerous slippery staircase. Need to bring water because there is no place to sell on the mountain, with a pot of hot ginger tea to sip while watching the city sparkling with lights at night.
If traveling in large groups, you can take a taxi conveniently, or use public transport if traveling alone:
Subway: get off at Xiangshan station, walk from here about 25-30 minutes to the foot of Elephant Mountain, cost about 45 TWD (about 35,000 VND).
Bus: stop at Wu Xing Elementary School (Zhuang Jing) station, from here, a 20-minute walk to the foot of the mountain, costs about TWD 30 (about 24,000 VND).

The area is open 24 hours free so you can climb the mountain at any time even at night thanks to the lights along the way. However, the best time for landscape photography is dusk to evening (around 17:30 to 21:00), this is the time when sky colors change most during the day, from red to orange to yellow
This moment lasts only about 30 minutes, so you have to know how to snap. At night, you can enjoy a cup of ginger tea brought with you in the cold spring season, watching the towering Taipei 101 tower in the middle of Taipei city.Alternatively, you can choose to climb the mountain at night, arrive early in the morning to watch the sunrise from the top of the mountain. The light in the morning that is not too strong is also a good time for daytime portraits or Taipei landscapes. You can rent a hotel near the foot of the mountain for easy transportation. Note, should check the weather carefully before leaving.
