Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2024
- Take a journey with us to Taipei (台北) Taiwan (台湾) where we hike Elephant Mountain (象山) to catch the best views of Taipei and the famous Taipei 101 building.
The Elephant Mountain Trail is located in the Xinyi District and easily accessible off the Taipei MRT train system at the Xiangshan Station red line stop. It takes around 20 to 30 minutes to hike Elephant Mountain. The hike has 600 feet (183m) of elevation gain and is 0.93 miles long (1.5 km) round trip
In Taipei we also explored the night markets (Shilin and Ningxia night markets are two of the largest), Freedom Square, and the old Japanese-era gold mining town of Jiufen.
Taiwan is the first stop of our international journey and the start of our world travel adventure. We take two business class flights from New York to Vienna and then Vienna to Taipei on Austrian Airlines and EVA Airlines before landing in Taiwan.

What a cool city. Great views on the hike. I have been looking forward to Taipei.
Such awesome views! You would love Taipei. It’s a very international city and lots of outdoors opportunities not too far from the city.
Good u mentioned the stairs, railings available at steep flights as it definitely helps to consider the climb.
There are benches along the way too ☺️Glad the video helped. Elephant mountain is worth it for the amazing views of Taipei

Thanks! We are going back and December and can’t wait to eat more yummy food!
