Taipei Escapes 2: Sights and Hikes around Taipei City and North-Western Taiwan by Richard Saunders

Yangmingshan the Guide - 41 hikes on Yangmingshan

The Taipei area has a lot more to offer the hiker or day tripper than just Yangminshan or the National Palace Museum.

For people who want to enjoy the beautiful moutains surrounding Taipei, the Taipei Escapes guides (revised Auguest 2011) provide an extensive listing of hikes complete with maps and detailed information for getting there by car or public transport. No knowledge of Chinese is required; the route for each trip is described in detail and Chinese characters are supplied to make communicating and finding your way easier. Each hike is rated for difficulty, including notes when walks are not suitable for children and/or dogs.

These guides offer an insider's perspective on where to go and when. Many of the walks in the books pass thorugh relatively little visited areas, providing respite from the hustle and bustle of Taipei. Times of year and weather conditions best suited to individual walks are also discussed.
