Highland Greenery and City Lights: Exploring Qingtian Gang and Taipei's Charm

Day 1:
Taipei's blend of nature and urban life is always enchanting. This time, I decided to focus my trip on Qingtian Gang in Yangmingshan National Park to experience the pristine beauty of the highland meadows. In the morning, I took a bus to Yangmingshan. As the bus ascended, the view outside the window transformed from city skyscrapers to lush mountain forests, bringing a sense of tranquility. Upon arriving at Qingtian Gang, the vast meadows dotted with grazing cattle and the gentle mountain breeze brought a refreshing coolness. I strolled along the trails, surrounded by blooming wildflowers and drifting mist, feeling like I was in a fairy tale. At Qingtian Gang, I also hiked a trail leading to Lengshuikeng, which winds through the mountains and offers breathtaking views of the Taipei Basin.

Day 2:
On the second day, I chose to return to Taipei city to explore its urban charm. In the early morning, I visited Dihua Street in Dadaocheng, where the old streets are filled with a nostalgic atmosphere. I wandered among traditional Chinese medicine shops and unique handicraft stores, soaking in Taipei's history and warmth. At noon, I went to Taipei 101, where I enjoyed a panoramic view of the bustling city from the observation deck and savored exquisite Taiwanese cuisine at the high-altitude restaurant.
