River park right outside Xindian MRT Station with bike trails, gardens, exercise area, fishing area, dragon boat race (we went there on a Sunday), and suspension bridge. Very scenic, and apparently quite an attraction considering that there is a tourist information center devoted to the area right at the Xindian train station. Very cheap also because no fee except for the train ride to get there. Lots of families with kids biking around. It was an amazing discovery, and a very pleasant way to kill time before going to the airport.
5. Neidong National Forest Recreation Area

4.5 based on 35 reviews
It takes 50 minutes by road from Xindian, making it the most convenient option in the greater Taipei area to visit a national forest recreation area. The weather here is warm and humid with Neidong river passing through the Area, making it a paradise for ferns. The Neidong waterfall is the star attraction of the Park and is located at the end point of the Waterfall viewing trail. The water has three layers with different views for visitors to enjoy, in addition to the fresh and fragrant negative ions emanating from the forest.

We needed a short day trip from Taipei City and this was an ideal choice. A well paved trail leads 1.0 km to a series of cascades that make for a relaxing walk, a wonderful dose of natural beauty. It is about 30 minutes outside the city. We topped it off with a lunch and hot spring session in one of the local places and it made for a beautiful day.

Wulai is a hot springs resort about 30 km (20 miles) south of Taipei; it was once rather tatty, but it has improved considerably in recent years. It is known as an Aboriginal settlement, but better known for its food, in particular for its wild boar and venison. The bamboo steamed rice is famous, as are the wild jungle vegetables. The millet wine is stimulating'; millet is a traditional grain that is well-known in North China. Wulai is a favorite day-trip for Taipei people; the hot springs are relaxing, they are a good way to de-stress, especially in cooler weather.
