Elephant Mountain (Xiangshan)

This short but steep hike delivers the classic postcard view of Taipei 101 rising above the skyline. It is the locals' go-to for sunset and night photography.

The stone-step trail from Xiangshan MRT takes roughly 15 to 20 minutes to the first viewpoints, so wear decent shoes and bring water.

Local tip: Arrive before sunset to bag a rock platform ahead of the evening crowd.
