Yangmingshan is Taipei’s well-known backyard. As spring approaches, cherry blossoms, peach blossoms and azaleas bloom resplendently all over the mountains, making the Flower Festival a great annual tourism event. As Zhuzihu’s calla lil-ies blossom, visitors wend their way amongst the flowers. The post-volcanic geography has also created other magnificent scenes, such as hot springs, sulfur vents, cold water pits, etc.

The aromatic and mellow Tieguanyin tea produced in Muzha is one of the must-have souvenirs of Taipei. Tourists can enjoy tea and gourmet cuisine at numerous teahouses at the famous Maokong. Three routes to explore this area are recommended:

Red cultural area (Zhanghu area): including cultural sites like the Threestone Teapot Museum, the Tea Master Chang Nai-Miao Memorial Hall, and U Theatre’s Laochuan Mountain Theater, etc.
