**How special is this, the Christmas decoration in Sabah Malaysia**

Hope the world have enjoy their Christmas Celebration. I’m sharing about how did i spend my Christmas in Sabah Malaysia during the CMCO moment. After Sabah election on last year, the covid outbreak cases increase daily. However, the local government is control very well and they have done a great job. This is the time for us to spend most of our time at home relax due to travel restrictions. It is kind of a life challenge to me.

Anyway, how did i spend my Christmas in Sabah Malaysia? Christmas decoration in Malaysia is very beautiful and i believe that Christmas is not all about party nor gift nor holidays, but it is all about Jesus. Also, it is a day of Jesus born as well as it is Jesus’s birthday. Do you agree?

On 20th December, it is our celebration for winter solstice. Not everyone will celebrate the winter solstice. Only Chinese people are celebrate winter solstice and we always sending our wish to friends and families such as Happy Winter Solstice. How do we celebrate winter solstice? We definately is Rice ball.

What is Rice Ball?

According to the picture i took above, it is rice ball. Chinese is called Tang Yuan 湯圓. This is what exactly we eat during the winter solstice each year. We always eat Yam favor. It is more than a culture to celebrate this each year. Some chinese are not willing to eat rice ball, it is because they said if you eat rice ball, you will be old 1 years old. People prefer to stay younger forever, so they avoid eating rice ball. For me, i love to eat rice ball very much, especially is my Taiwan rice ball with tofu hua. That’s really delicious. Sometimes i eat the rice ball mix with red bean in Taiwan.

What did i eat during Winter Solstice and Christmas?

First dish was dry butter prawn dish. It is one of my favourite food in Malaysia. It is very crispy and taste deliciously. I had my dinner at Wong Kwok Chinese Restaurant in Suria Sabah Shopping centre. It’s cost around RM25. It is worth to try it.

**Shanghai Style Braised Pork Knuckle Served W Mini Buns**

This was my second dish prior to my order. This is one of the best dish what you should try it. This Called Shanghai Style Braised Pork Knuckle Served W Mini Buns. Actually this dishes is one of the Chinese New Year dishes. We eat this once in awhile. It taste very yummy and i love the sauce as well. It is very tasty and the meat is very soft. Love it and elder people would love it as well. Thus dishes come with Mini Buns. The buns is taste very delicious and very crispy. It is good to eat together with the meat. I ate this in Wong Kwok Restaurant as well and it’s cost me RM60. It is not expensive and it is very worth to try it.

Final dishes is BBQ Pork Rice Noodles. This portion is really big and it is for 2 to 3 people portion, but of course it is not as big as Western portion. Their BBQ Pork Rice noodles is really very delicious and i love fat BBQ Pork meat. Their Rice noodles is very different with Australia one. This is more than Malaysian delight style. It cost around RM13. It is best to try while visiting Malaysia.

Continue the Christmas Decoration Shows

How beautiful is the Christmas decoration in Sabah. I took this beautiful Christmas decoration at Suria Sabah Shopping centre in Sabah Malaysia. It was my First time experience the Christmas that is very empty in the shop. It is very unusual, that nobody come out due to the COVID-19 outbreak panic. So it is very freedom for me to take a nice shot 😁

It will change your life forever and experience Lot of interesting culture around. Anyway, have a fruitful New Year 2021. God Bless! 😀

Marina Bay Sands – Singapore

June 23, 2020June 23, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

Marina Bay Sands is located in Singapore and it is just next to the Garden by the Bay. Basically Marina Bay Sands is part of the shopping centre. There is lot of stores as well as the cafe and restaurant in the mall. Singapore is a very small country so no matter wherever you go, there is always crowded, especially is During the Christmas and new year seasons. It is a very busy districts.

One thing i love about Marina Bay Sands was their Christmas decoration in the mall. It is very beautiful and it made me feel more like the Christmas environment which is very great. People are definitely will love to see and taste the Christmas environment in Singapore. Next, i will let you know the most special thing i have seen😁

This is the most special thing that i was talking about. According to my previous blog, i was writing about the Christmas Wonderland in Singapore. When i was celebrate my Christmas in Singapore couple years ago, i visit this beautiful shopping centre name called Marina Bay Sands. When i entered into Marina Bay Sands, i saw this Sampan Boat Ride. This is very very cool and I find this was very interesting so i went to experience the indoor Sampan Boat Ride.

I do highly recommended you to take a beautiful sampan boat ride at Marina Bay Sands Shopping Mall for a leisurely canal trip. It is very fun. You can walk in purchase your ticket for this Sampan Boat Ride at the ticket booth. It is cost Singapore Dollars $13 per person.

You can also make a wish while walking around “Rain Eye”. “Rain Eye” is an environmentally friendly bowl-shaped device made of acrylic material. It is 22 meters wide and is used to collect rainwater into the canal. If you come by chance, you can also watch the water flow waterfall once every hour up close. Every minute, 22,000 liters of water pours down from the height of the two-story building, painting a spectacular face, the visual effect is extremely shocking.

凱維森野生動物園

May 12, 2020May 12, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

您是否打算不久或將來前往西澳大利亞州？您想遇到從未見過或見過的動物嗎？您是農場愛好者嗎？您聽說過凱維森野生動物園嗎？它是西澳大利亞州的頂級旅遊景點之一。

今天，我要介紹您，在西澳大利亞州遇到的最好的野生動植物稱為凱維森野生動物園。這將包括在公園內要做的事情，看到的東西，所擁有的東西，歷史和其他內容等等。在此之前，我強烈建議您在下午3點之前參觀，這樣您就可以安排自己的時間來認識澳大利亞所有獨特的本土動物。在凱維森野生動物公園中探索和發現所有事物至少需要3個小時。

吸引力的基本介紹

凱維森野生動物公園擁有約200種動物，其中有2000多種動物，鳥類和爬行動物。這個令人印象深刻的收藏使公園成為西澳大利亞州最大的私有私人野生動植物收藏。該公園是西澳大利亞州首屈一指的開發項目，吸引了來自世界各地的遊客。

訪客將獲得野生動物專業人士的個性化服務，他們致力於提供卓越的服務，從而確保訪客獲得與動物互動，信息和照片的最佳機會。

認識樹熊

**您可以遇到樹熊，有一段時間他們將開放給人們參觀樹熊。確保拍攝一些照片以備記憶。**

**考拉每日課程如下：**
**上午9:00至9.30**
**上午11.30至下午12.00**
**下午2.30至3.00**
**下午4.00至4.30**

凱維森野生動物公園展示了澳大利亞許多獨特的本土動物，包括樹熊，袋鼠，負鼠，塔斯馬尼亞魔鬼和袋熊。他們為遊客提供了與一些澳大利亞偶像近距離接觸的機會！手動餵食袋鼠，與樹熊合影，與管家交談，並在兩個動手錶演中進行互動。這些都包含在您的入場費中。

觸摸樹熊之前，必須使用公園中提供的洗手液清潔觸摸樹熊之前的手。

見面袋熊和朋友表演

觀看見面袋熊和朋友表演，這是每天互動的表演，飼養員可以帶出自己喜歡的朋友供您查看，觸摸和了解。您將遇到毛茸茸的袋熊，可能只是對許多友善的鳥類之一打招呼或與爬行動物合影！

農場表演

一定要趕上每天的農場表演，以鞭打，剪羊毛，擺比利等方式瞥見農場生活！也可以訪問莫莉的農場，獲得互動式農家樂體驗，例如餵食水牛，美洲駝，鹿等。

在農場秀期間，他們將向您展示他們如何剪羊毛，如何製造羊毛脂油，如何餵給嬰兒羊奶，如何從牛中製造牛奶以及許多其他與農場有關的事情。和我一樣，您會在農場表演中發現有趣的地方。

餵養袋鼠

當我餵養袋鼠時，我發現它很有趣，但有時當我餵養牠們時，它們會入睡，有時當我餵養牠們時，它們會同時進食和睡眠。我當時在想他們如何同時進食和睡眠。假設如果有人在周圍看到食物，人們會感到興奮，看到那裡有食物，他們會吃點食物，所以人們不會感到疲倦和困倦。

***小袋鼠的名字叫喬伊斯，小袋熊的名字也叫喬伊斯。喬伊斯被定義為小動物*** 🙂

袋鼠有两種顏色。它們是白色和棕色的袋鼠。餵養袋鼠時，您會發現一些有趣的事情，例如懷孕的袋鼠，生嬰兒，餵養嬰兒，彼此擁抱，在睡覺時擁抱他們的孩子等。

我在野生動物公園中最愛的是什麼？

***我絕對最喜歡的部分當然是餵袋鼠，因為它們非常漂亮和友善，但是有時候它們很害羞，不確定是害羞還是累，這是我餵牠們的壓力*** 🙂

除了餵養袋鼠之外，我也喜歡樹熊。樹熊胖嘟嘟了是合理的，我愛上了它們可愛的樣子😂

入境費用是多少？

費用為每位成人是 30澳元，每位學生 23澳元。學生入場票稱為優惠票。您需要在訪問時出示學生證。

成本不是那麼昂貴，這是一個合理的價格，值得去探索和發現野生動物。

台北象山步道之旅

April 24, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

您是爬山愛好者嗎？你喜歡爬山嗎？台灣是爬山的最佳國家。爬山是生活中非常好的運動。台灣有許多最佳的遠足景點。其中之一被稱為爬山大象山。這是爬山的最佳目的地。爬山時，您可以從頂部看到台北市中心的美麗景色，這很酷的喔。我將與人類分享這個有趣的時刻。希望你會喜歡喔。有興趣的朋友們，請覌看，也可以關注我喔!

歡迎來到台北象山步道

***這是象山的高度😊 位於逸賢亭象山頂、六角亭旁步道盡頭的平台，視野展望極佳，可以欣賞象山的全貌，尤其是象頭與象鼻頗具傳神。**鼻樑處即為永春高中，長長的象鼻子則是稜線深入松山路與松德院區之間的平台。***

今天要和大家介紹台北一個最好的景點名叫象山步道。來到象山，主要是登山啦! 登上象山之後，如果你的體力充沛，或是想伸展筋骨，步道兩旁還有許多強體力及肺活量的體能設施，只見大夥在山頂的逸賢亭打個尖、做個操，還有精力無窮的小朋友穿梭其間，運動休閒一兼二顧，很適合全家來活動。

象山因外形似象頭而得名，位於台北盆地東南方的信義區，與虎山地質相同主要由砂岩組成，因造山作用步道中可見黃褐色陡峭的岩壁與巨石，加上自然環境生物、鳥類種類繁多，使得整座山如同一座天然生態樂園般，成為民眾接近淺山、享受戶外綠林悠閒時光的好去處。

步道沿線設有解說牌引導民眾參訪，區內各種稜線、岩壁、山坡等不同環境，孕育出多種蕨類植物處處可見，其中又以金狗毛蕨與筆筒樹古老蕨類族群最大，數量居臺北市之冠。

登頂象山眺望，臺北盆地的地景幾乎一覽無遺，其尾稜延伸嵌入信義區中強公園，成為當地居民晨昏散步的最佳去處，也是近山民眾假日休閒、舒緩身心的綠色地帶。

基本上，我是從大安捷運站乘坐紅線到象山捷運站。爬山象山是台灣台北市的頂級旅遊景點之一。它的高度大約 183m，遠足徑長約 1.5km。從小徑可以看到台北101是满享受的。六座巨石是湘山的旅遊勝地。有太多人對此景點一無所知，現在我將給我更多的樂趣。台北市的風景真是恐怖而完美。它是免費的，因此不需要任何費用。

象山遠足徑

象山親山步道近松德院區方向有處名為一線天駐腳點，因兩壁山脊線十分接近，巨崖岩壁突出遮天，山友自步道仰頭望天，只見崖壁縫隙間的天空又窄又細，因而稱為一線天。

象山遠足徑是最痛苦的經歷，但是值得擁有這種經歷。乘坐捷運火車去旅遊非常方便。遠足遠足山的最佳時間是三月至十一月。當遇到雨季或地震季節時，出於安全考慮，請不要跳過此景點。尤其是在下雨季節，樓梯上非常容易打滑，因此下雨時走上山坡非常危險。因此，我聽說周末人滿為患，所以您應該避免在周末訪問這個地方。

六巨石

根據上面顯示的這張照片，我是從山石上拍攝的。這是觀看整個台北的最佳地點。平日總是最適合遠足。

我一個人去那裡，從地鐵站步行了10分鐘，從山頂到山頂也花了30分鐘。有些人可能會感到疲勞，需要在徒步旅行中稍作休息，整個體驗可能需要至少1.5個小時，這取決於當天的忙碌程度以及從底部到頂部的遠足速度。當您在排隊等待完美的拍攝圖像時，有時會花費很長時間。儘管夜間是遊覽的理想之地，但由於夜色非常暗且幾乎看不到，因此夜間徒步旅行並不安全。

您可能會問自己加息有多困難？其實不太難的。就像我上面提到的，從山頂到山頂花了30分鐘，在旅途中我確實休息了很長時間。我建議您帶上水瓶，毛巾和相機，當然這是非常基本的。

象山範圍不大，賞景點卻不少。其中盤踞山頭的「六巨石」是象山的地標景觀，巨石林立、景觀奇特，遊象山不攀上巨石瞧瞧，可就對不起自己了。在頂上觀景滋味不同，迎風四望無際，想拍101，來這裡準沒錯！

至於鳥瞰台北盆地的最佳位置，自然是位於稜線上、視野開闊的「超然亭」；有此「超然」名號，便是因為由此觀景居象山眾涼亭之冠。站立於超然亭的平台上，近可見山下的信義計畫區，放遠望去則是圓山、北投焚化爐、觀音山及大屯火山群各景點，從前國慶日施放煙火，不少人還會特地來此觀賞花火綻放，足見其魅力所在。

繞行到巨石公園階梯附近，有一塊碩大的巨石，上面有人為雕刻出來的石階，可拾級而上眺望台北盆地。一路前行間，由左側山腰、山脊再下到右側山腰線，從不同角度俯瞰台北盆地之美，象山迷人之處盡在其中。

步道沿途都設有解說牌，引導親山訪客認識整個山頭的特色，所以這裡也是最受歡迎的自然教室。一路上不愁沒有生態導覽，只要「按圖索驥」，自己就是山林解說員。

象山擁有稜線、岩壁、山坡、山窪、山谷等各種不同微環境，因而孕育出70多種蕨類。蕨類在象山處處可見，有的附著在樹幹上，有的長在岩石、坡地上，有的密佈在潮濕的林下。其中金狗毛蕨族群龐大，數量居臺北市之冠，在過去醫藥不發達的年代，它可是民間用來止血的最佳良藥。

另外在開闊、向陽且潮濕山窪區，還有自侏儸紀時期就存在的古老蕨類「筆筒樹」。筆筒樹群聚可是台北市區最珍貴的生態特色，因為筆筒樹成群林立的現象，全世界只有台灣北部才能看得到。

潮濕的環境中，蝸牛的族群也十分可觀，像是斯文豪氏大蝸牛、煙管蝸牛，幾乎在整個山區都看得到。這本是低海拔的原始闊葉林，生態豐富多元，綠意萬千的山林，還有更多的驚喜等待你自己慢慢去發掘呢！

第一站是大約10分鐘後的觀景台，然後有各種各樣的巨石供人們四處攀爬以拍攝史詩般的照片。最終，在巨石之上1分鐘是主要的觀景台，每天所有專業攝影師在此觀看比賽！

我聽說人們說如果您有時間可以在日落之前遠足，然後看一下變化是一個很棒的選擇，除了您可以兩次遠足，一次是早晨，一次是晚上。

怎麼去象山遠足徑？

當您聽到 “遠足” 的消息時，您會以為它會整天陪伴您。到達那裡，徒步旅行，尋找山頂等，台北象山不是這種情況！如果您住在城市的其他地方，請搭乘捷運地鐵系統並前往象山，這是紅線上的最後一站。走出2號出口，然後遵循您的 Google 地圖。真的很容易找到，所以應該沒有什麼大問題喲。

總而言之，這是一項了不起的活動，甚至為您的一天增加了一點運動。我在台北象山徒步旅行的時光記憶猶新，希望你們也能在那兒度過愉快的時光，即使天氣有點濕熱，您也不會後悔！不用擔心，說實話這也不算困難。即使您身體狀況不佳，也可以抽出寶貴的時間來欣賞這座城市的美景。請享用！＃假期＃冬季

Best travel attractions which is called Cijin Island kaohsiung must visit

November 27, 2019April 14, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

Cijin Island is a very small island in Kaohsiung Taiwan. Kaohsiung is belong to the Southern area in Taiwan. It is just 15 minutes ferry ride outside the famous Kaohsiung Harbour to the Cijin Island. Although it is a very small Island, this island has become a favorited destination for those people whoever had visiting the city. The island is famous not just only for historical and cultural sites, but also for the fresh seafood around the night market. It really is perfect for any type of travelers; no matter if you are visiting for a hiking trip, sightseeing, cycling, photography etc. Cijin Island has something special for everyone.

Cijin Island is one of those destinations that always has visitors and it is the best tourists attractions in Taiwan, it is because there is so much trip to do in the island. Those who love a good hike usually make their way to the famous Cijin Lighthouse that is located on top of the hills. The hike is not difficult and it is easy to navigate around the trails, so it is very suitable for many people. Cycling around the island is also a preferred activity in Cijin Island; some of the best places that can be explored include the Cijin Windpower Park and the Cijin Seashore Park. Exploring an island is not completely without a dip in the water, and because the water in Cijin is quite warm, many love to relax while soaking their feet or taking a swim by the beach. Lastly, it is also important to try some seafood in the port area of Cijin since it is known to be very fresh.

Which Month and what season of the year will be the best for visit

There is four seasons in Taiwan. They are Winter, Autumn, Spring and Summer. Taiwan season is totally opposite with Australia seasons. For example, When Australia is on Winter, Taiwan is on the Summer season. Many people are wondering that which season would be the best visit Cijin Island. In my personal experience, the best time to visit Cijin Island would be between September and February of the years. That would be when the summer about to end. It is because Summer is the season of raining which is not able to explore much on the island while raining so it is very best to visit between September and February which was Autumn, Winter and Spring season. I am not recommended to visit between June and August as the weather is too heat with raining. You may wondering that why Winter would be good to visit. Well, Kaohsiung won’t be freezing during the winter. It is totally different with Taipei City.

Please note that during the summer seasons, the ocean wave is pretty strong due to the weather

Introduction of the Cijin Lighthouse

According to the photo taken above, it is taken from the Lighthouse in the Cijin Island. Aside from the scenery, Cijin is also famous for its historical sites, including the Cijin Lighthouse and the Cijin Fort. In 1883, British engineers built the Cijin Lighthouse, which was used for the military during their conflicts with France. The lighthouse went through several reconstructions during the Japanese colonisation, and it is now open to the public. The Cijin Fort is also a historical site in the island that must be on the itinerary. The fort was originally built in 1720 and has witnessed quite a lot during its time. Since it was destroyed in the war, the fort was reconstructed in 1991 and is now one of the most famous attractions in Cijin Island that offers a magnificent 360 view.

The History of Dr. James Laidlaw Maxwell Monument in the Cijin

Basically James Laidlaw Maxwell Senior Chinese name called 馬雅各 and he was born on 18 March 1836 in Scotland. March 1921 was the first Presbyterian Missionary to Formosa (Qing-era Taiwan). He served with the English Presbyterian Mission.

Maxwell studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh and completed his degree in year 1858 with a graduation thesis of The Chemistry and Physiology of the Spleen. He worked in London at Brompton Hospital and at the Birmingham General Hospital. He was an elder in the Broad Street Presbyterian Church before being sent to Taiwan by the Presbyterian Church of England (now within the United Reformed Church) in 1864. He donated a small printing press to the church which was later used to print the Taiwan Church News.

On 16 June 1865, at the urging of missionaries H.L. Mackenzie and Carstairs Douglas, he established the first Presbyterian church in Taiwan, this date now celebrated by the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan as its anniversary. First of his mission centred in the then-capital Taiwan Fu (now Tainan city); in 1868 he moved near Cijin and now part of Kaohsiung where his work place, both medical and missionary, became more welcomed. In early 1872 he advised Canadian Presbyterian missionary pioneer George Leslie Mackay to start his work in northern Taiwan, near Tamsui.

He married with Mary Anne Goodall who died on January 1918 of Handsworth on 7 April 1868 in HongKong. They had two sons, John Preston and James Laidlaw Jnr, both of whom later also became medical missionaries. He retired in London in 1885 where he formed and became the first secretary of the Medical Missionary Association. He and his sons oversaw the construction of Sin-Lau Hospital in Tainan, the first western-style hospital in Taiwan. The younger J. L. Maxwell served in the Tainan hospital from 1900 to 1923, during Taiwan’s Japanese Era.

How to travel down to the Cijin Island

How to travel down to the Cijin Island? Well, this would be depending on where will you be coming down from. Firstly, getting to the Cijin Island from Kaohsiung City is very easy. Just take the MRT orange line and get off at Sizihwan MRT Station. From there, just head to the harbour and take Cijin Ferry; instructions from the MRT station to the harbour are available around the streets and it will take about 10 minutes to get there on foot. The cost to the Cijin Ferry is roughly NT$15 (approximately 0.50 USD) and the journey is around 15 minutes. Travelers can take a bike on the ferry so if you prefer to rent a bike in Sizihwan, so it wouldn’t be an issue.

But if you are drive, you wouldn’t need to worry about the ferry and you can explore much more surround the island by car.

For instances, when traveling to Kaohsiung, do saving a day for Cijin Island is a definitely a no-brainer. This island offers varieties of activities and sights for many types of travelers, starting from hiking, cycling, sightseeing, to eating. How can anyone say not to that? So, if you are planning to travel in Taiwan and looking for something to do in Kaohsiung, be sure to take a day trip to Cijin Island. You won’t feel regret to visit as it is worth of travelling. #vacation #dream #summer #Cijinisland

Hope you enjoy your vacation when you get there one day. Stay tuned for my next post 🙂

Hiking Elephants Mountain Taipei

June 3, 2019April 16, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

Hiking Elephant Mountain

This is red MRT line

Are you a hiking lover? Do you love hiking? Taiwan is the best country for hiking. Hiking is very good exercise in life. There is lot of best hiking attractions for tourists in Taiwan. One of them is called Hiking Elephants Mountain. It is the best destination for hiking. While hiking, you could see the beautiful viewing of the heart of Taipei from the top which is pretty cool. I am going to share this fun moment with human beings. Hope you will like it just i do.

Basically, I was taking the MRT red line from Da’ an MRT station to the XiangShan MRT Station. Hiking Elephants Mountain is one of the top tourist attractions in Taipei Taiwan. It is 183m high and has a hiking trail about 1.5km long. The taipei 101 can be seen from the trail. The six Giant Rocks are a tourist attraction in XiangShan. There are so many people haven’t know about this attractions and I am going to give more fun of my experience now. It is scary but perfect view of the Taipei City which is great. it is free of charge so there is no fee needed.

Xiangshan Hiking Trail

XiangShan Hiking Trail is the most painful experience but it is worth to go have this kind of experience. It is very convenient to go for a visit by MRT train line. The best time to visit Hiking Trail Mountain is between March and November. When you encounter raining season or earthquake season, please do skip this attraction for safety purposes. Especially is raining season, it is very slip on the stairs so it is very dangerous to walk up the hills when there is raining. Therefore, I had heard that weekends get pretty packed so you should avoid visit this place on the weekends

According to this photo shown above, I have taken from the mountain stones. It is the best place for viewing the whole Taipei. Weekdays always the best for hike.

I went there alone and it took me for 10 minute walk from the MRT station, also 30 minutes from the bottom to the top of the hills. Some people may feel tiring and need a break middle of hiking, the whole experience could take it for minimum 1.5 hours, this will depend on how busy will be on that day and how fast you hiking from the bottom to the top. Sometimes take very long when you are waiting on queue for the perfect photoshoot. Although night time is perfect for visit but it is not safe to hiking at night as it is very dark and hardly to see.

You may ask yourself about how hard is the hike? It is not too hard. Like what I have mentioned above, it take me for 30 minutes from the bottom to the top of the hill and I did have a quick break when I was on my way. I do recommended to bring your water bottle, a towel as well as your camera of course, other than that it’s pretty basic.

The first stop is a viewing platform after about 10 minutes, then there is a selection of boulders that people climb all over for epic pictures. Ultimately, 1 minutes beyond the boulders is the main viewing platform where all the pro-photographers lineup each day!

I heard people said hiking before sunset and watching the change is one awesome option if you have time to spare, other than that you could do the hike twice, once in a morning and once in an evening.

How to get to Elephant Mountain hiking trail?

**This is the destination MRT where to get off at**

When you hear about a ‘hike’ you assume it’ll take you all day. Getting there, hiking, finding the top etc, thats not the case with Elephant Mountain Taipei! If you’re staying elsewhere in the city, jump on the MRT subway system and head to Xiangshan, it is the last stop on the red line. Walk out exit 2, and follow your google map. It’s really easy to find so shouldn’t an issues.

All-in-all it’s an awesome activity, and even adds a little bit of exercise to your day. I have great memories of my time hiking the Elephant Mountain Taipei and I hope you guys ensure you get to experience in your time there too, you won’t regret the effort, even if it is a little hot and humid! And don’t worry, it’s honestly not too difficult. Even if you’re out of shape, you can take your time and still be rewarded with the best views of the city. Enjoy! #Vacation #Winter
