Taipei Nature Dive🍃

Elephant Mountain is totally a top-tier spot for insane views of Taipei! 🐘🏙️ If you’re hunting for that iconic shot of Taipei 101, this is the place to be. The hike itself is short and sweet, but don't let that fool you—the stairs are NO JOKE, so seriously, rock those comfy kicks 🏃♂️👟. At the summit, you’re greeted with next-level skyline views—every angle is sooo photogenic, especially during sunset or when the city lights flip on at night. Your Insta pics will be straight fire 🔥📸. Getting here is a breeze: Just hop off at Xiangshan MRT Station (Red Line), Exit 2. The trailhead is super close (address: Lane 150, Songren Rd, Xinyi District, Taipei City), and all the paths are clearly marked. The trail is open 24/7, but pro tip: plan for golden hour or after dark for the prettiest shots 🌇🌃. This place is definitely a must-do if you vibe with nature, love a quick challenge, and are always chasing epic views. . . . #taipei #taiwantravel #elephantmountain #hike
