Trip Moments Recommendations
Xiangshan Hiking | Elephant Mountain
- Are you interested in getting an amazing city view for free? If so, keep reading.
- Take the metro to Xiangshan. It’s the last stop on the red line.
- When you arrive, take exit 2. It’s an 8 minute walk to the start of the hiking trail and it’s clearly signposted.
- From the start, it’s on average 18 minutes up with different viewpoints.
- If you have a good level of fitness, you’ll be fine. If you don’t, there’s a rail and four or five different view points where you can stop and take a break.
- You will definitely sweat. Bring an extra t-shirt if you want to change.
- On a clear day or night, the views are beautiful. Personally I preferred this to going to Taipei 101 itself.
- Thanks for reading!

Beautiful Sunset from Elephant Mountain
Atop Elephant Mountain, as the sun's golden embrace kisses Taipei goodbye, the journey to this moment becomes all the more worth it. The ascent, though punctuated with myriad stairs and trails, led through a 30-minute hike that was both a challenge and a promise of the reward that awaited.
Every step upwards was a testament to the human spirit's drive and curiosity. The sweat, the rhythmic panting, and even those fleeting thoughts of turning back, were all forgotten as the city's iconic silhouette, with the majestic Taipei 101 piercing the heavens, began to unravel.
As the horizon turned to molten gold and city lights began to twinkle, the panorama from Elephant Mountain was a breathtaking blend of nature’s grandeur and human achievement. This isn't merely a sunset; it's a story of perseverance, of conquering every stair and trail, and of the sheer wonder that ensues when nature and cityscape converge in harmonious splendor.

How close can you get to the elephants?
Elephant feeding at Buffledrift Game Lodge is an amazing adventure you can choose to have while in South Africa. It cost about 400 rand per person. Be sure to give a little tip to the workers there. They will help you feel safe, have fun, and capture amazing memories with them. #southafrica #tripaway #elephants #outdoor #tripblazers #vacations #summervacation #africatravel#elephantmountain #adventureday
Hiking up Elephant Mountain
#elephantmountain #taipei
After a quick breakfast at a nearby 7-11 store, we took one of the earliest trains to 象山station, promptly starting the straightforward ascent via flights of numerous steps to the summit. There was a steady drizzle but it wasn’t anything to worry about - the weather was still perfect for a morning climb & we had almost the entire trail to ourselves.
Before long, we reached the peak of Elephant Mountain with beautiful views of Taipei 101 towering above the bustling city, and out came the small Singapore flag 🇸🇬 as usual 😂
Taipei 101 SKY IS THE LIMIT
Great to see taipei 101 again!
Don’t forget to climb the Elephant mountain for more full view of the city and Taipei 101
300-1000 steps needed! haha

Had a very Merry Christmas in Taipei, Taiwan! I definitely recommend Taipei to anyone looking to travel to countries in Asia. It was a very beautiful mix between Taiwanese culture and the modern western world. Here is a look at some of the cool things and places we saw!
