Free foot hot spring: At small pavilions situated about 5 minutes walk from Lengshuikeng visitors' centre. Pretty crowded since not many seats available. Informative visitors' centre: Find out the entire topography of the Yangmingshan Mountain National Park by viewing the scaled version at the visitors' centre here. Also, learn more about the rock formations, the past industrial uses of the fumaroles or hot springs, ecological info of the park. Interesting for nerdy us. Hike to Qingtiangang Grasslands: Clear information of the trail outside the centre. 1.6km but with many steep steps so it takes an average of one hour to complete. Easy-to-follow trail with many clear distance-markers and arrows pointing to you which direction/path to take. Pass by Jingshan suspension bridge: On this trail, you'll pass by this suspension bridge and be able to take interesting shots from. Others: Apparently also walkable to the Juansi waterfalls towards the foot of the mountain but that's too far of a walk for us.

The lotus is a prime symbol in Buddhist iconography, because it is a perfect flower that emeges from slime; that is, a perfect being can emerge from a corrupt earth. The lotus flowers are very beatiful, Most parts of the lotus, including the roots, are edible. The lotus is sacred to Buddhists and Hindus.
