Elephant Mountain's Stunning Views in Taipei

#2024wish We had a really pleasant 5 days in Taipei as the pace of living is slower in comparison to Singapore and the locals are amicable and helpful. Elephant mountain was the first destination that we went to. It is the easiest mountain to 'climb' among the Four Beasts in Taiwan. Offering a panoramic view, many people could be seen ascending the hill to breathe in some fresh air and drink in the views. In order to catch a glimpse of sunset at the peak, we gritted our teeth and climbed the steep steps with no complaints. Depending on your fitness level, it takes around 15 minutes to get to the top. Fortunately, there are several benches and viewing platforms on our way up to rest our tired feet. We were blessed with good weather when we were at the Elephant mountain and managed to take pretty good photos before the weather turned awfully gloomy for the remaining days.
