Are you planning to travel to Western Australia soon and in the future? Would you love to meet the animals that you never heard or seen before? Are you a farm lover? Have you heard of Caversham Wildlife Park? It is one of the top tourist attractions in Western Australia.

Today, i am telling you the best wildlife encounter in Western Australia is name called Caversham Wildlife Park. This will be included things to do in the park, what to see, what they have, history and others. Beforehand, i do highly recommended to visit before 3pm so that you will be able to manage your time to meet all of the Australia’s unique native animals. It will take at least 3 hours to explore and discover everything in the Caversham Wildlife Park.

Basic introduction of the attraction

Caversham Wildlife Park is home to about 200 species, and it is more than 2000 head of animals, birds and reptiles. This impressive collection makes the Park be the largest privately owned collection of native wildlife in Western Australia.

Koalas Daily Sessions are in the following:
9.00am to 9.30am

11.30am to 12.00pm
2.30pm to 3.00pm
4.00pm to 4.30pm 

Caversham Wildlife Park showcases many of Australia’s unique native animals, including koalas, wallabies, possums, Tasmanian devils and wombats. They are providing visitors with the opportunity for a close-up encounter with some Australian icons! Hand-feed their kangaroos, have a photo taken with the koalas, catch a keeper talk and interact in one of two great hands-on shows. These are included in your admission fee.

Before you touch the koalas, you must use the hand sanitizer provided in the Park to clean your hand before touch koalas.

Meet the Wombat and Friends Show

Meet the Wombat and Friends Show session are at 9.30am, 11.00am, 2.00pm and 3.45pm DAILY

Watch the Meet the Wombat & Friends Show, it is an interactive show on daily basis, where keepers bring out their favourite friends for you to see, touch and learn about. You will meet a hairy nosed wombat and may be just say hello to one of the many friendly birds or take a photo with a reptile! 

Farm Show

Be sure to catch the daily Farm Show to get a glimpse of farm life, with whip-cracking, sheep-shearing, billy-swinging and more! Visit Molly’s Farm for an interactive farmyard experience too such as feed the buffalo, llamas, deer and more.

During the Farm Show, they will show you how did they shearing the sheep skin, how lanolin oil was made, how to feed the baby sheep milk, how to make milk from the cow and many other relevant to the Farm. You will find interesting in the farm show just like me.

Feeding the Kangaroos

While i was feeding the kangaroos, i find that it was very fun but sometimes when i was feeding them, they fall asleep and sometimes when I fed them, they were eating and sleeping at the same time. I was thinking that how did they manage to eat and sleep at the same time. Let say if human beings, whenever people seen food is around, people would feel excitement of seeing the food is there and they will get some food to eat so people won’t feel tired and sleepy.

Baby Kangaroos name called Joeys, baby Koalas also name called Joeys. Joeys is defined as a small animals 🙂

Kangaroos have 2 type of color. They are white and brown color kangaroos. While feeding the Kangaroos around, you will find some interesting things around such as kangaroos pregnant, having babies, feeding babies, cuddling each other, cuddling their kids while sleeping and other.

What I love the most in the Wildlife Park?

I definitely love feeding the kangaroos the most as they are very gorgeous and friendly but they are very shy sometimes, not sure it is shy or tired, it was my pressure to feed them 🙂

Apart from feeding the kangaroos, i love koalas as well. It is reasonable that Koalas are too chubby and I am in love their cute look 😂

How much is the cost of entry?

It will be cost AUD$30 per adult and AUD$23 per students. Students entry ticket is called concessions ticket. You will need to show your student ID upon your visit.

The cost is not that expensive, it is a reasonable price and it is worth to go for explore and discover the wildlife encounter.

Stay tune on my next blog 😉

Elizabeth Street Pier – Hobart Tasmania

/ travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

Welcome to the TravelQueen site! Are you interested in visiting Tasmania? Do you love cold? Tasmania is forever freezing. I love cold weather. Today, I am going to share one of the top attractions in Tasmania. Please feel free to follow me by click a follow button on my side, give a like my Facebook page, follow my instagram as well as on Twitter 🙂

First day arrive scheduled

  • salamanca Market

I have been visiting Tassie on February 2020 and my first day arrival was on Saturday. The first day arrived trip plan was visiting the Salamanca Market. Salamanca Market is running on every Saturday basis. It is one of the top attractions that travellers must visit. Please find more details about Salamanca Market on my blog tab of my website.

After visiting Salamanca Market, I straight away to check in my Quest houses. I was staying at the quest house. It is a very good accommodation and it is very convenient. After that, I visit the Elizabeth Street Pier, Hobart Tasmania and enjoyed my dinner at the same time. It is like 2 minutes walk from the market to the destination which is very close.

The beautiful city of Hobart Tasmania

Elizabeth Street Pier is a major street and it is located in Hobart Tasmania. They are very similar with the Fremantle Perth Australia where there is very Western Style shops, fish market, food and beverage stores, harbour front, souvenir shops, Asian restaurant, Elizabeth street mall, cruise tours and many other fun tours.

Showing around the Elizabeth Street

While walking and exploring around the Elizabeth Street Pier, you will see that there is couple of army ferry around the ocean which will surprising you a lot. It is very nice to see them and taking a background snapshot.
While walking all the way to the destination from the Salamanca Market, you will pass-by this road. Beforehand, Tasmania is a very quiet state so you won’t see many car around the roads. Tasmania public transport is not as convenient as Perth so you may want to hire a car or being a patient to wait for the shuttle buses. For me, i love walking so i was walking all the time in Tasmania.
This is a very beautiful of the port of Hobart. It was reminding me of habour front in Fremantle. Do not forget that whichever harbour you are visiting and exploring, the most popular food at harbour front is always seafood such as seaweed, fish and chips, prawn, squid lobster and so on. Never get out of seafood at the Port Harbour.
You will find this info board somewhere around the Main Port. There is lot of things to do around the Port of Hobart at the Elizabeth Street Pier. There is a market on Every Sunday basis. It is quite different with the Salamanca Market which is running on every Saturday. Apart from Market, you could discover the Tasmanian Museum & art gallery to learn the Tasmania state history. According to the map, look at the Elizabeth street, whole street is CBD of Tasmania. I do recommended to walk throughout the street and explore around. There is the Hobart GPO and the Town Hall at Elizabeth Street. I went both of them and they are kind of shopping centre. They have Woolworth, bubble tea shop, number of asian restaurants and others.
When i walked throughout the Elizabeth Street Pier, i have seen this souvenir store and they sell gift that everything about Tasmania such as i love Tasmania T-shirt, Tasmania art work, Tasmania map, a mug etc…i bought the most popular stuff called popcorn.
I love this nice bridge while i was walking through this bridge to explore the whole Hobart Port. I love it and you will love it too. Good place to snapshot for a beautiful background like me 😂
I am a ocean lover and i love to walking around the Port Harbour to explore and see what is there and take note if necessary such as if there is any cruise tour and when their operator hours will be so that i could plan next trip. This is how i always did when my holiday is very short. I was just walking up and down the Hobart Port to see what tour they have and plan for my next trip back to Tasmania. Meanwhile, i do enjoyed the cold weather and it is a good exercise to walk as well.

Dinner time at Tassie

By the way, we called Tasmania as a Tassie. Tassie is a short form of the word. It is much more easier to call Tassie.

Today, i am going to introduce the best and top Western Restaurant in Hobart Tasmania. The restaurant name is called Fish Frenzy. Fish Frenzy is just located in the Elizabeth Street Pier at the main entrance of the harbour. I went there for my dinner after explored and discovered the Port of Hobart. The Fish Frenzy restaurant had lot of different seafood dishes and burgers. I had the fish and chip for my dinner that day. It was very tasty and crispy so i would recommended to you for a try. It is very costly but it worth to get them once in a while.

This is one of the popular dishes as well. It is a squids with salad. I love the fried squid so much. It is very crispy and the potion is acceptable.

Most of the people ordered these both dishes in the Fish Frenzy Restaurant. Both are costly but it is good to try out something new at the different places.

This is one of the boat tour at the Elizabeth Street Pier. When i seen this boat, i was quite surprise that there is so many different type of boat that offer to visitor. I am very highly interested to join the tour but unfortunately my vacation in Tassie was too short. When i join this tour in the future, i will update my blog. Stay tune 🙂

If you have any enquiry or concern, please don’t hesitate to contact me or just drop me a comment below. Stay tune on my next blog 🙂

台北象山步道之旅

/ 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。

象山捷運站下車

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

  • 巨石平台
象山上巨石林立的奇特景象，又稱老萊峽。從這裡攀上巨石可以一覽繁華的信義商圈，是一處熱門的拍照景點，清晨上山可以欣賞臺北101大樓在晨曦中初醒的景象，黃昏更可欣賞信義區都會華廈，夕陽餘暉西下、華燈初上的夜晚景象，十分亮麗耀眼。

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！

  • 從遠足山觀看完美的凤景 😍

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？

  • 這是目的地捷運站

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

But if there is a festival going on, cost will be different. It is pretty good and worth to go for it. You should try it for once in a life time at least.

Dolphin Adventure Cruise

This adventure cruise is very fun. When i first experience this cruise, i was very surprising. It is a very high speed boat and bumpy but it was very cool with amazing experience. This is not unsuitable for kids as this cruise is adventure around the Ocean. It is an ocean cruise for adventure.

Before they welcome you onboard, they will let you read the cruising policies. When they about to reach the ocean side, they will ask you to remove your hat stuff before the boat start to increasing the speed. I love the high speed part. You will love it just i do.

This bumpy boat is very costly but it is worth to go for a try once in awhile. To experience this, it cost $59 per adult as well as $25 per child age between 3-12 years old.

Seafood adventure cruise

I have never try this cruise tour and i would try in the future but all i know about their seafood adventure cruises is to catch and eat amazing seafood on their exhilarating seafood and fishing charters.

Mandurah is the seafood capital of Western Australia and Mandurah Cruises’ experienced guides know exactly where to find the finest delicacies of the region. You will enjoy one of their seafood and fishing charters to become part of the action.

By joining this tour group, you will catch your own world-famous Blue Swimmer Crab, pull up a crayfish and cast out for a Dhufish, Snapper, Samson or Baldchin Groper which is pretty cool. This tour is all about crab tours.

A seafood and fishing charter tour with Mandurah Cruises is adventurous, tasty and a unique experience to remember!

  • 巴瑟尔顿栈桥（Busselton Jetty）

未來有计划和打算去西澳洲的朋友們，记得要關注我喔! 歡迎來到巴瑟尔頓一日游啦!

For English version 英文版的朋友們 ，可以去 https://travelqueen4ever.org/2020/04/10/busselton-and-margaret-river/ 覌看喔!

第一站: 巴瑟尔頓栈桥（Busselton Jetty）

來到西澳洲這里，就是要体验一下。今天要跟大家簡单介紹一個在西澳洲里的一個很著名的旅游景点就是叫做巴瑟尔頓栈桥（Busselton Jetty). 這個地方位于西澳大利亚州西海岸中部的滨海小城巴瑟尔頓（Busselton). 巴瑟尔頓栈桥是南半球最長的木制栈桥，全長1841米，上面還有火車轨道，可以行走也可以坐小火車往返。這是近期被真人秀节目带火的景点。

行路直到最尾，會看到這個很特别的带路方向，讓你和船員知道這東南西北是可以往去哪里的; 比如東边的是可以去墨尔本的，西边的就是去到巴黎的路線

在海浪下面，你可以进入水下覌察站 (Underwater Observatory) 或穿上装备去潜水，覌赏澳大利亚最好的人工礁群。

巴塞尔頓 (Busselton) 两次被评為西澳大利亚州的最佳旅游城市，距离瑪格丽特河葡萄酒产區 (Margaret River Wine Region) 仅幾步之遥，從珀斯 (Perth) 南下開車到那儿只需 2 小时 40 分钟，乘坐飛機仅需 50 分鍾，所以這個地方你可没有理由錯過。

其标志性的文化遗产栈桥最初建于 1865 年，購買一張票即可前往巴瑟尔顿栈桥 (Busselton Jetty)，并坐車到达最远处。

沿着這個長堤一直走向大海，印度洋的海水就在脚下，风景如画，尤其是日落更是美不胜收，网传台灣艺人徐若瑄的婚纱照也曾在此取景，也有网传宫崎骏就是來這里旅行時，被栈桥上的火車触發了创作灵感，把海中火車這個独特的概念运用到《千与千寻》的创作中。

在巴瑟尔頓栈桥的尽頭处，有一個海下水族馆，大概有三层楼高，透过11个窗口，可以参覌到澳洲特有的珊瑚礁和色彩斑斓的鱼类。感覺好像海底世界一样。

坐火車满酷😎的

簡单來説，跟团到巴瑟尔頓一日游都是有包了入門票。租車的朋友們，自费每人付澳元 $4，并不貴的。我當天去玩的時侯，就感覺好好玩，我推荐你們坐小火車往下单程跑，然后回程的時侯，可以行走回到前門。本國人來到這個地方是為了钓鱼。這個是游客的地方，游客來到這里是為了覌看景点。

成人小火車票价是 $14澳元，儿童（3-14岁）是 $8.5澳元；家庭（2大2小) 的票价是 $38澳元

成人包括小火車、水族馆在内的套票价格大约 $34澳元，儿童价格（3-14岁）是 $20澳元 以及家庭票价（2大2小）$99澳元，需提前一天以上在官网预定。通常跟团队去游玩的都有包括在团队价格里了。

其实這個景点很值得去的，并不貴對吧!

接下來想跟大家分享第二站的行程。

  • 瑪格麗特河 (Margaret river)

我這照片里，我后面是什麼河呢? 那個就是瑪格麗特河 (Margaret river). 瑪格麗特河 (Margaret river) 是珀斯最著名的景点，也是属于吃喝玩樂的地方。河边满都是葡萄園。

在玛格丽特河 (Margaret River) 及其优质葡萄酒产区，游客可以释放所有的激情。這里是全澳洲地理环境最优越的葡萄酒产区，您不仅可以看到屡获殊荣的酒庄和餐厅，還可以顺途拜访迷人的海滩、古老的洞穴、樹高参天的森林以及世界頂尖的冲浪胜地。

從珀斯 (Perth) 出發，您只需沿海岸驱车 3 小时即可抵达，经济型旅客则可以搭乘每日的旅游汽車，或者您也可以选擇另一种时髦的方式，即乘坐直达包机前往附近的巴塞尔頓 (Busselton)。

玛格丽特河（Margaret River）拥有得天独厚的温和天氣与充足阳光，過去這里只是个安适的冲浪小镇，但现在已经發展成了极受歡迎的旅游胜地，旅客可以在這里享用美酒，欣赏壮阔的景色，看連绵起伏的葡萄酒厂与作為背景的海洋和森林相映成趣。

澳大利亚超过 15％ 的优质葡萄酒在這里生产，它們拥有頂尖的口感。除了 100 多家酒庄，這里還提供了琳琅满目的精致餐厅、精品啤酒厂、艺术图库和包括口味绝佳的奶酪和巧克力在内的新鲜特产讓您尽情挑选。如果您來訪的時间恰逢一年一度的美酒美食节，您就有機會一次品尝到幾乎所有的美味。

喜歡探险的游客也会在這里樂而忘返。

第三站 : 罗伯特奥特雷酒庄

酒庄

接下來，我們到达罗伯特奥特雷酒庄目的地。 罗伯特奥特雷酒庄也是属于杩格丽特河這里，這里有好多酒厂，其中一個最好的酒厂是叫做罗伯特奥特雷酒庄。這個酒庄是很著名的一個酒庄。來到這個地方就是要喝啤酒🍺。澳大利亚的酒超级貴，但是久久買一些是很值得的。那边最有名的就是葡萄酒🍷

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

  • Boulders platform

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. 

  • Viewing from the Hike Mountains

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
