[2025 Taipei Attraction] Travel Guide for The Grass Mountain Chateau (Updated Feb)

**Grass Mountain Chateau**, hidden among the lush green mountains of Yangmingshan, is one of the most enchanting secret spots near Taipei. The scenery here changes with the seasons, each as beautiful as a painting. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom, creating a pink sea of flowers against the green backdrop of distant mountains, making it hard to leave. In summer, the greenery is vibrant, the breeze gentle, and the air fresh and pleasant. Autumn brings golden hues to the maple and ginkgo trees, adding a touch of romance to the forest. In winter, the mist envelops the area, making it feel like a fairyland. Walking along the winding paths into the chateau, the garden scenery is serene and elegant, with ancient trees towering and streams gently flowing, surrounding this historic building. Standing in the courtyard, you can take in the magnificent view of the Taipei Basin and the Datun Mountain Range. At dusk, you can enjoy the dreamy sunset painting the sky red. Whether you immerse yourself quietly in nature or sit outdoors sipping tea and unwinding, **Grass Mountain Chateau** allows you to completely relax and enjoy the tranquility and poetry of the mountains.

The main gate is made of stone, and the interior is constructed with warm wood materials, showcasing a simple and rustic beauty. Standing in the main exhibition hall, you can feel the weight of history, with every detail seemingly telling a story of the past.

Walking through these artist studios, you can see the clever dialogue between the artworks and the space, as if you can feel the flow of art through time. Grass Mountain Chateau is not only a historical building but also a witness to culture. Don't miss this wonderful place, highly recommended.

#TaipeiAttractions The Caoshan Hotel in Taipei City is a hotel that combines industrial style and modern design, which I felt deeply when I stayed here. The giant chandelier in the hall is matched with log tables and chairs, which is rough and warm; the room adopts an open design, with the bed facing the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, overlooking the historical sites, grassy mountains, travel and beautiful scenery. Although the space has an industrial style, it still has texture. I like the atomic brick wall and black metal decoration in the bathroom the most. It is simple and full of personality. The hotel also has an outdoor garden, where you can admire the old houses leaning against the new buildings. Whether it’s the industrial and rugged exterior or the stylish interior design, Caoshan Hotel’s unique charm impressed me deeply and made my trip to Taipei unforgettable.
