This is the best location to watch Taipei 101. Just take the MRT Red Fresh Water Line terminal to Xiangshan and get off at Xiangshan. Exit 2 and walk for 15 minutes to the mountaineering entrance of Lingyun Palace. Xiangshan is not high and there is no ticket. From here, it is all a staircase step to about 20 minutes to arrive. The observation deck opposite the six boulders is said to be the best shooting place for photographers to recommend New Year's Eve fireworks, but this observation deck is very thin, it is estimated that up to 6 tripods will be taken. On a good day, even if there are no fireworks, it is still the best viewing point of 101, but it is still a bit tired to climb up, and after watching 101, walk back along the original road and sweat in winter.

    Elephant mountain is the best viewpoint in Taipei for the skyline if you want taipei 101 in it!

    Great praise Xiangshan, a mountain that is not high and easy to climb, it is very suitable for friends who like to hike ~ It is very beautiful to look at Taipei City from the mountain, especially the sunset and the night view of Taipei after the sunset. It is definitely an excellent viewing platform, but remember the route on the mountain, because there are many roads on the mountain. Especially after watching the sunset at night, although there are street lights, it is easy to go wrong.
