[2025 Taipei Attraction] Travel Guide for Qingtiangang Grassland (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 Yangmingshan Qingtiangang Grassland (Qingtiangang Trail) is famous for its cattle. The entrance is free, and no ticket is required! Qingtiangang is located in the center of the Datun Volcano Group. It was formed by lava flows from Zhugao Mountain. The terrain is flat and open, and it has been a grazing area for cattle since the late Qing Dynasty and the Japanese colonial period. During the Japanese colonial period, Qingtiangang, Qigushan, Huangzuishan, Shitiling, and Dingshan were designated as the "Dalingtou Pasture," where cattle were fostered. At its peak, about 1,600 cattle were fostered here. The main grass introduced for grazing was carpet grass. With the mechanization of agriculture, the grazing industry declined, and the number of cattle decreased. The grassland vegetation was replaced by silvergrass and false holly, and shrubs and small trees expanded, creating a unique landscape of carpet grassland interspersed with shrubs and trees. The fostered water buffaloes from the past have reproduced in the area. Some of the water buffaloes that were not taken back have naturally proliferated in Qingtiangang, Huangzuishan, and Dingshan-Shitiling, forming three groups of feral water buffaloes. The population fluctuates with the weather and environmental conditions. These feral water buffaloes are wild and defensive, so visitors should not get too close or tease them.

🌄 It all started with that cup of milk tea. It was 4:30 in the morning and I hadn’t fallen asleep yet, so I simply got up to watch the sunrise. Starting from Wenda, take bus No. 15 and arrive at Qingtiangang at 6:30. The air in the early morning is particularly fresh. Climbing to the top of the small hill next to it, you can see the white clouds on the mountains and the endless grasslands in front of you, which is amazing. Open your arms and face the wind from the grassy mountain, and all your worries seem to be blown away. Or, it would be nice to become a cow on Qingtiangang and eat grass leisurely. 🐄 I met a grandma who came for a walk from Shilin. She said she comes here every day. When I came down from Qingtiangang at 8:30, I took the same bus with an old lady, and she waved goodbye to me through the window. I hope I can meet her again next time I take a walk. 👋 #Taiwan Exchange Student #Yangmingshan National Forest Park #Qingtiangang Prairie

Before coming here, I was worried about the unpredictable weather in Taipei, but luckily I was overthinking it! 🌞Every frame of Qingtiangang on a sunny day is so beautiful! As soon as I walked in from the entrance, I couldn't help but take a lot of photos with my camera. With the help of the sunshine, all the photos look good. It’s a pity that the Miscanthus season has passed, so I didn’t have the chance to see a large field of Miscanthus🍂. However, there were cows taking a bath, basking in the sun, and grazing leisurely🐮. They looked so happy. 🐮 taking a bath, 🐮 basking in the sun, a little bit of Miscanthus, 🐮 eating grass, 🐮 next to the railing, they are really that close. Dream Lake, the scenery when climbing up to Dream Lake. #Yangmingshan #Qingtiangang #Sunnyday #Walking #Dream Lake #Miscanthus #Tourism #Photography #Fuji #Notes

The weather will be good until the weekend, which is so rare, let’s go! 🚌Take MRT No. 15 from Jiantan Station to the final stop, Qingtiangang, where you can watch buffaloes basking in the sun and eating grass; then go down to Lengshuikeng Visitor Center, where you will see Lengshuikeng Ecological Pool and Milk Lake on the way. It only takes less than 1 hour. ⚠️The Silk Waterfall Trail was damaged by the previous typhoon, so you can only go down from Qingtiangang or Lengshuikeng. Once you reach the waterfall, you can't go forward anymore. You must return to Qingtiangang or Lengshuikeng and then take a bus. So I walked this section of road three times. I suggest you take the bus from Jiantan Station. This is the starting station and it will basically be crowded. It will be difficult to get on the bus at the following stations. #Yangmingshan #Taipei #TaiwaneseExchangeStudent #Qingtiangang #Lengshuikeng

🌞 Taiwan has had rare good weather these past two days. Yesterday I went to Maokong to watch the sunset, and today I took a bus to Yangmingshan after waking up. From Qingtiangang to Xiaoyoukeng, it was the first time I saw so many cows up close🐄, and also the first time I saw a dormant volcano up close🌋. When I was eating lunch on the lawn, I met a very enthusiastic Taiwanese guy. He said that you brought very beautiful lunch boxes, and he took a photo of me and my friends📸, and then turned around and took photos of many tourists present🤣. We climbed for quite a while to reach Dream Lake. We didn't dare to speak loudly in the silent wetland. We could only hear the croaking of frogs and chirping of insects. I also met a very beautiful auntie who asked me to help take a photo of her and the afterglow in the forest in the evening. After that, she enthusiastically took several photos for us📷. The wind I breathed in the mountains all day felt extremely comfortable. While climbing the mountain and gazing at the distant mountains, I suddenly recalled the phrase "Yin and Yang divide the dusk and dawn." On the way back, I passed by Chinese Culture University and saw the beautiful sunset in the sky🌅. I hope Taipei will have more sunny weather like this! #Everyday there are moments worth recording #TaipeiYangmingshan #TaiwanVisitingStudy #Xiaoyoukeng #Qingtiangang #DreamLake #ForestWetlandPark

Small oil pit Dream Lake Qingtiangang Take a taxi to Xiaoyoukeng and then take bus 🚌108 or 🚌Xiao15 to go to Menghuan Lake and Qingtiangang. If you have time, you can set aside a day to go there! It looks great whether it’s sunny or rainy! ❗️The sulfur in Xiaoyoukeng smells like rotten eggs. Wear a mask (you don’t have to wear one if you want to take quick photos and walk quickly) ❗️Bring drinks! Except for a convenience store at the bottom of Qingtiangang, you can't buy water anywhere else. ❗️Be sure to spray mosquito repellent. The mosquitoes in the mountains are very poisonous and will leave scars if bitten. #Xiaoyoukeng #Crater #Dream Lake #Qingtiangang #Yangmingshan #Yangmingshan National Forest Park #Taipei Travel #Taiwan Entry Permit

Plan to take bus 1717 from Jiantan Station directly to the main attractions including Xiaoyoukeng, Qingtiangang, Lengshuikeng and Menghuan Lake, a round trip in one day. If you want to go to Yangming Book House, it is recommended to check the bus schedule in advance, because the bus schedule is relatively fixed and may affect your subsequent itinerary. 🌄 ————————————————————— Feedback: Yangmingshan is so beautiful, it is truly the Little Switzerland of Taipei! The weather was very good today when we went there, it was sunny and the photos were beautiful! We went to Xiaoyoukeng, Qingtiangang, Lengshuikeng Milk Lake, and Menghuan Lake. At around 4pm, we took bus No. 15 back to Taipei City, had a massage, had some stir-fried dishes, and visited Shilin Night Market. It was a successful day. #Taipei#Yangmingshan#Shilin Night Market

My second trip to Taipei was amazing! Enjoyed stunning city views with Taipei 101, beautiful cherry blossoms, and peaceful nature spots. Visited temples, night markets, and tried delicious local food. Also explored Yangmingshan’s scenic landscapes. The hotel stay was great, and the experience was both relaxing and adventurous. Can’t wait to visit again! #taiwan #travel #taipei #citydaytours #ximen

#Register for April Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 My experience of traveling to Taiwan This trip to Taiwan started on March 8th and it was truly an unforgettable experience! A group of friends and I decided to rent a car in Taipei. This was also my first time driving a left-hand drive car. It felt both exciting and nervous. At first, when driving on the road, I was always very careful, for fear of taking the wrong road or violating the rules, but gradually I got used to it, and the pleasure of driving came along. The first stop is Dadaocheng. The braised pork rice here is absolutely delicious! The hot rice topped with the fragrant marinade and paired with the tender meat left each of us very satisfied. This authentic snack made me feel the Taiwanese people’s passion and dedication to food. Next, we headed to Yangmingshan to enjoy the hot springs. The scenery there is picturesque, the air is fresh, and soaking in the warm spring water will instantly make your fatigue disappear. The natural scenery around me made me feel relaxed, which is a rare enjoyment. Afterwards, we drove to Jiufen, a small town full of nostalgia. Strolling through the narrow streets, you'll see a variety of small shops on both sides selling handicrafts and delicacies. We tried the local taro balls, which were delicious, and took a lot of photos, leaving behind wonderful memories. Finally, we came to Shifen to release sky lanterns. At that moment, seeing the colorful sky lanterns flying in the wind, my heart was filled with blessings and hope. It feels especially warm to make a wish with friends. The whole trip was full of laughter and surprises, and I really had a lot of fun exploring the beauty of Taiwan with my friends. This experience is not only an enjoyment of food and scenery, but also a cherishment of friendship. I hope I can come to Taiwan again in the future to explore more unknown beauty!

#2月好地方2025 📍Address: Qingtiangang (No. 246, Lane 101, Jingshan Road, Shilin District, Taipei City) The grassland of Qingtiangang stretches out under the blue sky, and the breeze brings bursts of grass fragrance. Herds of buffaloes leisurely graze, forming a tranquil picture with the mountain scenery in the distance. Walking on the soft grass, strolling side by side with family, chatting about relaxing topics, and enjoying this rare good weather. The sun is shining and the breeze is blowing, making people feel extremely comfortable. There is no hustle and bustle of the city here, only the purity of nature and the warm time with family. Every trip here makes people linger. #Qingtiangang #cow #mountain #walk

🏮 P2-3: Raohe Night Market & Ciyou Temple As the sun set, the streets of Raohe Night Market came alive. Stalls lined up in neat rows, each offering a different kind of street food, filling the air with enticing aromas. The buzz of the crowd, the sizzle of food being grilled, and the flashing neon signs all created an intoxicating atmosphere. Right at the entrance of the market stands Ciyou Temple, a stunningly intricate structure with golden carvings and detailed dragon sculptures. The contrast between the temple’s peaceful aura and the lively energy of the night market was fascinating—tradition and modernity coexisting in perfect harmony. 🌊 P4-7: Jiufen Jiufen, shrouded in mist and drizzle, feels like a scene straight out of a Studio Ghibli film. The winding stone-paved alleys, wooden houses nestled on the hillside, and rows of red lanterns glowing softly in the rain create an atmosphere both nostalgic and mysterious. Standing at the observation deck, I caught a glimpse of the famous Yin-Yang Sea, where the ocean meets the land in a striking contrast of deep blue and golden hues. The mountain breeze carried a crisp, salty scent, and despite the cold drizzle, the beauty of this old mountain town was undeniable. 🏞️ P8-10: Qingtiangang, Yangmingshan Tucked away in Yangmingshan National Park, Qingtiangang is a vast grassland that feels like Taipei’s own little version of Switzerland. Rolling green hills stretch endlessly, dotted with grazing cattle that seem entirely unbothered by passing visitors. Walking on the soft grass, breathing in the crisp mountain air, I felt an incredible sense of tranquility. From the hilltops, the cityscape in the distance looked like a miniature model, a stark contrast to the untouched beauty of nature surrounding me. 🌅 P11-13: Tamsui Old Street & Fisherman’s Wharf Unlike Jiufen’s nostalgic charm, Tamsui Old Street had a more laid-back and romantic vibe. Strolling along the riverside, I watched the sun slowly dip below the horizon, painting the sky in warm hues of orange and pink. The gentle lapping of the waves added to the peacefulness of the moment. A little further ahead was Fisherman’s Wharf, home to the iconic Lover’s Bridge. The gracefully curved bridge, set against the backdrop of the sunset, looked straight out of a postcard. Standing there, feeling the sea breeze on my face, I realized that sometimes, the simplest moments make the best memories. #Favouriteltinerary #travel #naturalwonders

Qingtian Gang is located at the center of the Datun Volcano Group. It is a lava terrace with flat and open terrain. The Qingtian Gang grassland was once designated as the 'Dalingtou Ranch.' As the agricultural and pastoral industries declined, the water buffaloes that were fostered during the ranch era reproduced on-site. Some of the buffaloes that were not taken back have naturally bred in the Qingtian Gang area, forming a group of wild buffaloes without owners. This time, we came specifically to see the cows; those rolling in the mud, competing with each other, and showing deep affection for their calves... all kinds of postures are in full view. On a sunny day, the vast green grassland and the slowly passing sea of clouds present the ultimate charm of 'endless green grass.' In addition to the endless grassland, Qingtian Gang also offers views of silvergrass in autumn, sunrises, and sunsets. Choose a time you like, and the scenery will amaze you! 📍Transportation: Qingtian Gang Bus Xiao 15, 108 💞Recommended Reason: Free cow-watching
