The hiking distance is about 1.5km. Taipei 101 can be seen from the mountaintop. Trailhead is close to a subway station.
Eslite Spectrum Songyan Store + Songshan Cultural and Creative Park are in the same art district. Lots of art exhibitions/bookstores/ artistic designs in the park. This area is surrounded by many good vegan restaurants.
Eat like a Taiwanese! Hundreds of street foods in small portions. Lots of cheap foods, drinks, games and shopping.
A magical mountain village that lights up in the night
The best/ most authentic Taiwanese vegan restaurant in a shopping district. Nothing fancy here but the vibes and foods are A+. 10/10 recommended!
