HIKING HUSHAN, BAOSHAN, AND ELEPHANT MOUNTAIN

Three Taipei mountains, plenty of stairs, and a clear view across the city toward Taipei 101. This is a free social urban hike through Hushan, Baoshan, and Xiangshan (Elephant Mountain), with optional dinner and a birthday-party continuation after the trail.

The route is easy overall, but it is not flat—expect sustained stair climbing. Bring your water, eat lunch first, and come ready to keep a friendly group pace.

Meet on time

Gather outside Houshanpi MRT Station Exit 2 on the blue line from 14:00 to 14:15. The host waits 15 minutes, then the group leaves for the trail.
