Qingtian Gang in Yangmingshan, Taipei
You can take bus S15 from Jiantan MRT Station directly to Qingtian Gang. In the summer, the temperature at Qingtian Gang in the morning is 5 to 6 degrees lower than in the city, making it very cool and pleasant.
The Qingtian Gang grassland is one of the most beautiful areas in Yangmingshan. The vast, flat grassland combined with easy-to-walk wooden paths makes it suitable for all ages. You can closely observe the ecology of the free-roaming water buffaloes at Qingtian Gang and enjoy a distant view of Taipei City. Upon arriving at Qingtian Gang, your mood will instantly brighten.
If you don't want to take the bus back directly, you can hike to Lengshuikeng or Jyuansi Waterfall to absorb some phytoncides. Lengshuikeng is closer, and on the way, you will pass through the Jingshan Suspension Bridge and a small white pool called Milk Lake, which is also a small attraction in Yangmingshan. At Lengshuikeng, there are free hot springs to relieve fatigue, or you can just soak your feet to ease soreness.
