“In summer, tree canopies provide shade for visitors. Water lilies of red, yellow, white, and purple float in the water with their leaves dancing in the wind. Various butterflies and playful squirrels dart among the trees …” This is the picturesque and wondrous-to-a-fault description of Yangming Mountain, otherwise known as Yangmingshan, provided on a pamphlet at the tourist office.
At first, it sounds like wild exaggeration. As you slowly meander through the park, however, it becomes clear that it is an apt description.
In a similar style to Mount Ali in the south, Yangmingshan is a National Park that has been turned into a popular tourist destination. It bustles in the spring when the flowers are blooming.
At first, Yangmingshan evokes the same feeling as other tourist spots in Taiwan, that it’s only famous because so many people visit it. Slowing wandering around the park, though, this notion quickly wears off and a genuine feeling of tranquility and serenity with the natural environment starts to set in.
