Five Yuan Rock Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

You no longer encounter “mass tourism” here. But you also have to earn the view, there are actually a lot of steps leading up here. I recommend visiting the temples on the mountain on the way.

Six Giant Rocks (Elephant Mountain)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The path becomes steeper and winds through a stale gorge between huge stones. Certainly a worthwhile intermediate goal and motivation for the children. For adults, a nice wild spot on this rather well-maintained path.

View of Taipei 101 from Elephant Mountain

Highlight • Viewpoint

That's why you did the climb! Enjoy the view and think about whether you wouldn't like to go further because then you would be (almost) alone. Pleasant change after the crowds on this lovely weekend.

Xiangshan Peak (Elephant Mountain)

Highlight • Summit

One of the peaks with a view of the city. There's also a small shelter here if you get caught in the rain. I recommend continuing on; it becomes more secluded and the paths become more natural over time.

Thread of Sky Rock Crevice

Highlight • Gorge

The path leads you through a narrow crevice in the rock here. Don't worry, the section is short—it's still exciting.

Xiangshan Photography Platform (View of Taipei 101)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The whole mountain is a park, beautiful nature, well-kept paths, great views. The further up you go, the fewer people you meet.

View of Taipei 101 from the Xiangshan lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is just the beginning of the hike, there are many, many steps and even more beautiful viewpoints awaiting you. And the number of people is also getting smaller and smaller, hold on.

June 24, 2023,【台北ハイキング】象山公園 Elephant Mountain – Six Giant Rocks ループコース

There are no elephants in Elephant Park
But that's it
There are many mountains on the outskirts of Taipei City.
It's not a problem for hiking, but it's hot anyway! Feeling uncomfortable due to high humidity and sweating

By the time I started walking, the rain started to drizzle, and the rain …
