[2025 New Taipei City Attraction] Travel Guide for Crocodile Island viewing platform (Updated Jan)

Crocodile Island is located in Shiding District, New Taipei City, and is famous for its spectacular 'crocodile' shaped island in the middle of a lake, attracting many photography and nature enthusiasts. From the Crocodile Island viewing platform, you can overlook the Feicui Reservoir and the surrounding scenery, especially enchanting during early morning or dusk. However, to fully appreciate the entirety of Crocodile Island, you need to walk down a small trail next to the platform for about 5 minutes. The path is relatively narrow and may be slippery, so it is recommended to wear non-slip shoes and be cautious. In terms of transportation, it is recommended to drive or ride a motorcycle, but be aware that the Beiyi Highway is relatively narrow, with heavy traffic, and parking spaces near Crocodile Island are limited. If you choose to take public transportation, you can take a bus to 'Xiaogetou Station' and then walk for 30 minutes to reach the destination. The journey is relatively strenuous, so be mentally prepared. Additionally, nearby attractions such as Thousand Island Lake and Tushitou Viewing Platform are also suitable for a one-day trip. However, since most roads are industrial roads, driving and walking require caution. It is recommended to bring enough water and light snacks to enjoy a journey into the natural hidden realm.

Address📍 New Taipei City, Shiding District, 北宜路五段 Ambiance ☁️ I didnt expect i could see this beautiful landscape scenery in Taipei. Cool air with stunning view from above. Highlights ✨ It’s not easy to get there if you prefer hike, there’s a fast track by hiking through ‘jungle’, it takes 25-35mins. The road is pretty muddy and quite challenging. If you see the wooden steps, you’re getting close! How to get there 🚗 From Xindian MRT Station, take bus GR12 for 35mins ride or if you don’t prefer hiking, can ride your own vehicle Rating ⭐️ 3.75/5
