Yangming Mountain National Park is the closest national park to the urban areas in Taiwan, featuring diverse topography and rich ecological resources, where many precious conservation-listed animals thrive. You can even spot the traces of the Taiwan endemic bird species, the Taiwan blue magpie, if you're lucky.
The park is filled with various flowers such as plum, cherry, peach, apricot, rhododendron, and camellia. When cherry blossoms bloom in spring, it always attracts a large crowd of visitors to come up the mountain for sightseeing. After the cherry blossom season, the tuberose flowers on Bamboo Lake bloom around mid-March, and engaging in the fun activity of picking flowers and taking a bunch of tuberose home has become a must-visit experience for tourists.
The most representative feature in the park is the flower clock composed of various seasonal flowers. When you come to Yangming Mountain, you must take a photo here! In addition to the flower clock, Yangming Mountain is home to popular attractions like Xiaoyoukeng (小油坑), Yangming Library, Lengshuitan (冷水坑), and Chingtian Gang. If you enjoy mountain walking and exploring nature, don't miss these spots.
