[2025 Taipei Attraction] Travel Guide for Niunai (Milky) Lake (Updated Apr)

It's rare to have good weather all the way to the weekend in Taiwan! So, take the opportunity to visit Yangmingshan 😆! Today, I will share a travel route to Yangmingshan 🗺. You can start from Jiantan MRT Station and take Bus 15 to the terminal station, Qingtiangang. There, you will see a super healing scene - water buffaloes basking in the sun and grazing leisurely, making you feel like life has slowed down 🐃. Then, descend from Qingtiangang to Lengshuikeng Visitor Center. The scenery along the way is absolutely amazing 👍! You will pass by Lengshuikeng Ecological Pond, where the water is crystal clear and surrounded by green trees, full of natural atmosphere 🌳. There is also Milk Lake, where the water is a unique color, like milk, super dreamy 🥛. The whole journey takes less than an hour, and you can enjoy so much beautiful scenery, it's really worth it! However, I must remind you ⚠️, the Juan Silk Waterfall Trail was damaged by a previous typhoon, so now you can only go down from Qingtiangang or Lengshuikeng. And you can't go any further when you reach the waterfall, you must return to Qingtiangang or Lengshuikeng to take the bus. I didn't know this, so I walked the same section of the road three times, it was really "sour" 😫. So, here's a little suggestion 📣, be sure to take the bus from Jiantan Station, which is the starting station, and the bus will be full when you get on. There are so many people at the back stations, it's really hard to get on the bus, and if you can't get on the bus, it will affect your mood 😟. Are you tempted by the beautiful Yangmingshan?

#Taipei Attractions Yangming Mountain is full of natural scenery, among which the wonder "Milk Lake" is a must-visit photo spot 🥰 In the middle of the stacked hills, a small lake that is almost triangular appears from the middle, flawless snow white, super special😍❣️ It turns out that this place is formed by the precipitation of a large amount of minerals, sighing at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature🤩⛰️ Next to it is the straight maple forest, even yellow maple, very beautiful 💕 The Jingshan Suspension Bridge lies in the middle of the mountain, so you can have a panoramic view of the surrounding lush greenery, which makes you feel at ease🌈🙏🏻

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Qixing Mountain, "No. 002 of the Small 100 Peaks", is the highest peak in Taipei City and one of the most accessible popular routes in the suburbs of Taipei. The mountain gets its name from the fact that there are seven small mountaintops on the top of the mountain, which look like seven stars surrounding the main peak in the center. Starting from Lengshuikeng trailhead, the route to the summit is of medium difficulty. This way of walking will take a longer route from the smaller oil pit and some sections will be steep, which will test your endurance. The total length is 4 kilometers, and it takes about 3 hours to complete the whole journey, with a total climb of 345 meters. Route planning: Lengshuikeng Tourist Service Station → Milk Lake → Qixing Mountain Lengshuikeng Trailhead → Dream Lake → Qixing Mountain East Peak → Qixing Mountain Main Peak → Xiaoyoukeng Trailhead Milk Lake (Figure 2-4): This small pool of milky white water is one of the pit depressions of the open-pit excavation of Lengshuikeng Sulfur Mine of Ruiyong Mining Company. There is no flowing water in this area of ​​Qixing Mountain. Rainwater and surface water gather to form a pool. The minerals in it become sediments, which turn milky white when exposed to sunlight, just like milk. Milk Lake has become one of the most representative attractions of Lengshuikeng. Dream Lake (Figures 13-14): With a water area of ​​only 0.3 hectares, Dream Lake is a national wetland and the smallest ecological protection area in Taiwan. It breeds the endangered aquatic plant "Taiwan Isoetes". The area is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, like a dreamland. Xiaoyoukeng (Figures 17-19): Xiaoyoukeng is a post-volcanic geological landscape area located on the northwest foot of Qixing Mountain, about 805 meters above sea level. Its most distinctive features are the fumaroles, sulfur crystals, hot springs and spectacular collapsed landslides formed by "post-volcanic activity".

#TaipeiTravel The last scenic spot you pass by from Qingtiangang to Lengshuikeng Tourist Service Station is Milk Lake. Before arriving, I always thought that such milky-white lake water was only due to shooting effects or special circumstances. Especially today, it rained heavily and I didn’t care. Too much hope🌧 It's quite a surprise when you go up to the observation deck 😍 because the entire lake is completely milky white and has a dreamy feel. There is also an introduction to how the entire scenic spot was formed, which makes people sigh at the uncanny workmanship of nature 😊 The heavy rain made the edge turn into milk tea color, which is even more noticeable Interesting ☕️
