I'm always in awe where you are transported to a whole new world in the midst of the city. Elephant Mountain was a perfect little hike to do in the morning before it got too warm. The steps seem endle

Elephant Mountain is part of the Four Beast Mountains, including Tiger, Leopard, and Lion mountains, but I can only assume this is the most popular one since many talk about this and the view it offer

Nice 1 hour activity that helps burn off some of those calories from all the cheap and delicious food in Taipei! About a 5 min walk from the MRT station or you can take a car to the base of the hike.
