Travel to taiwan Tatun National Park – really enjoying

Tatun Natural Park is a part of Yangmingshan in northern Taipei. This park is named after Mt. Tatun, 3,543 feets high, and it is the second highest peak in Yangmingshan Park. As a “park within a park,” Tatun Natural Park is defined as an area in the western section of Yangmingshan National Park, extending from Mt. Tatun northward to Mt. Tsaikungkang. It offers excellent hiking and a chance to see some interesting birds, butterflies, plants, and wild animals. The hiking paths in the park are very nicely kept and offer peace and seclusion.

Most places in the park are accessible by road as well by hiking. One path leads to the top of Mt. Tatun. From there you have an excellent view of Taipei and its suburbs, as it fills the Taipei basin. This urban sprawl is impressive for its sheer size. After dark it becomes beautiful and transforms into a vast sea of twinkling lights.

The surrounding mountains are also beautiful, particularly when a breeze sways the grass which covers their slopes. In spring, this area is famous for its colorful variety of wildflowers and butterflies. In summer, the sounds of crickets and cicadas fill the air. Autumn is notable for its beautiful reddening leaves, while in winter the prime attraction is the variety of migratory birds and water fowl. Plant lovers are luckiest of all, as uncommon trees, shrubs, and grasses are here all year round.
