Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 26 reviews
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.

This was not an easy feat for me. This took me a long long time to get here. My hotel was smack-dab in the middle of downtown Taipei. I am also not a hiker, and in the extreme heat and humidity it took a toll. From my hotel it took me two train rides, a 30 minute gondola ride, a 40 minute walk to get to the hiking trail and once at the hiking trail it took me another 25-30 minutes all the way up the steep steps to make it to the top. Needless to say I was drenched in my own sweat, but man oh man what a sight. Make sure to take about 3-4 bottles of water and some food to eat, also an umbrella for the sun and lots of bug spray, you WILL get eaten alive. I finally made it to the Yinhe Waterfall cave. It was suffice to say..amazingly beautiful. I used google maps all the way here for which trains to take and to stay on trail to the cave. I don't recommend tourists coming here when it is severely hot out as I felt like I was going to pass out but its definitely doable - just be careful and pack accordingly. A MUST SEE! I won't ever forget my time here.

Easy transportation with Taipei subway. Get off at Xindian. Very nice lake scenary along the river with restaurants and water cycles for rent. Take time to walk along the river trail into the mountains to see the old villages and experience the river boat as old transport in those days. Try the hang bridge which link the the river banks. See the old shops and stalls and have a taste of the Taiwan street food and snacks.

Easy 5 minutes walk along the bridge which connect the river banks with very nice view of the mountains and the lake.
