#AprilGoodDestinations2025 I heard that there are "Ten Beauties of Yuanshan" located in Yuanshan Scenic Area. After walking along the Jiantan Mountain Hiking Trail, I was only familiar with the sign "Eight Beauties, Old Place". I only found "Seven Beauties, Beautiful Sound Sunset" along the trail. I wanted to look for it before riding my bike in Dajia Riverside Park, but in the end I rented an Ubike near Yuanshan MRT Station to chase the trend! Dajia Riverside Park is located between Zhongshan Bridge and Dazhi Bridge in Zhongshan District. It is an urban green park developed and constructed by the municipal government after the Keelung River was straightened. The park is vast and what comes into view when you enter is an endless expanse of grass garden. You can also see the Miramar Ferris wheel in the distance, and the scenery is beautiful. There are five major game areas in the park, each with its own unique characteristics: a dual-lane zipline area, an inclusive sand pit area, a sunshade area, a hill slide game area, and a swing and octopus dolphin area for parents and children to play together. I just watched the kids playing in the play area, rode for a while, walked for a while, and waited for the sunset view of Riverside Park.

Jiantan Mountain, with an elevation of 153 meters, is located in the Yuanshan Scenic Area of Shilin District, Taipei City. It is the northern ridge behind the Grand Hotel and the closest small mountain to the city center in Taipei. Walking along the ridge trail, you can reach other mountains with ease, making it a convenient and leisurely hike. This area was once a military control zone and a protected forest, so the natural forest and ecological plants are well-preserved. The trail is lined with many artificially planted vegetation and economic plants, giving it a lush green charm. Entering from Jiantan Park, it takes only half an hour to reach the Breeze Viewing Platform (photos 5-7), where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Keelung River, Tamsui River, Taipei Basin, Taipei 101, and the Grand Hotel. Another viewing platform, the North Eye Platform (photos 1, 8, 10, 11), completed in early 2023, features a white spherical design with an infinity edge. It offers a wide view and a unique design, coincidentally facing the spherical Taipei Performing Arts Center (photo 11). Standing on the white extension of the North Eye Platform, you can overlook the entire Taipei city center, gaze at the Tamsui River, Keelung River, and the distant Guanyin Mountain and Datun Mountain. The "most beautiful landmark in Shilin," the Taipei Performing Arts Center, is also in full view, making it a popular spot for photos on the Jiantan Mountain Trail. By MRT: Jiantan Mountain is located at the trailhead on Section 4, Zhongshan North Road, next to Jiantan Park, with the Grand Hotel behind it (photo 16).

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 In addition to the well-known old viewing platform on the Jiantan Mountain Hiking Trail, Taipei residents now have another little luxury for outdoor outings: a breeze platform where they can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the city without having to climb a high mountain. The Breeze Platform is very spacious and is divided into two floors. There is a seating area with running water on the upper floor, where people can make tea and chat. The lower floor has an unobstructed view, so it is said to have a million-dollar view day and night. From the platform, you can overlook the S-shaped curves of the Keelung River and the Tamsui River, as well as the spherical building of the Taipei Performing Arts Center. It is a very popular check-in spot. The Breeze Terrace is also near the Taipei Performing Arts Center, Taiwan Opera Center, and Shilin Night Market. You can plan a one-day trip to Taipei by combining culture and scenery.

#2024TravelReview #OldPlace #JiantanshanOldPlace I believe that this hiking spot should be familiar to tourists who hike. The old place of Jiantan Mountain is a section of the mountain road for the Dazong hike. When you reach the top, you can overlook the downtown area of ​​Taipei, and airplane fans can also wait for planes to take off and land here! It's worth a visit! It is very easy to reach the trailhead. Just take the MRT to Jiantan Station and walk for 3-5 minutes. ! The stairs may be shaky at first, but later on they will become a flat road and become more and more comfortable the more you walk! Those who like mountain climbing should not miss it!

#Outdoor2024 Hiking Jiantan Mountain is a spectacular spot that can be easily accessed from the center of Taipei. The hiking trail is relatively short, so even beginners can enjoy it easily, but the views along the way are spectacular. It is especially moving at dusk, when the slowly setting sun paints the Taipei cityscape golden. By the time you reach the top, you can see the night view of Taipei. Taipei 101, towering in the distance, floats in the night sky like a shining jewel, and the neon-colored cityscape spreads out before you, and the view is breathtakingly beautiful. The night view of Taipei from the quiet top of the mountain while feeling the night breeze is a special moment that makes you forget the hustle and bustle of the city. In addition, the hiking trail is well maintained, and there are rest areas and benches here and there, so you can proceed at your own pace.

After getting to Jiantan MRT Station, walk for five minutes to the trailhead. The road is clearly marked, so just follow the signs. After arriving at the Jiantan Mountain triangulation point, if you still have energy, you can also go to the old observation deck. However, I didn't go to the observation deck because I had to go to Dalun Touwei Mountain that day. After arriving at Dazhi MRT Station, take bus 255 or Brown 13 to reach the entrance of Dalun "Wei" Mountain Trail and start your climb!

#springplace2024 The fifth section of Taipei's Grand Trail is completed (Jiantan-Bishanyan). There are endless stairs along the ridgeline. You can see the entire Taipei city area (Songshan Airport, Taipei 101, Miramar Ferris Wheel, etc.) You can see the Palace Museum on one side. It is a good scenic route. (Jiantan Mountain-Maojiu Mountain-Wenjian Mountain-Zhongyong Mountain) Nice weather, a good place for hiking👍👍👍
