Tiger Mountain Trail is a trail (or series of trails) behind the Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC) hear Taipei 101, Taiwan's tallest building. The trail has steps for the weekend hikers.

Xiang Shan is the jumping off point for the Xiangshan Trail, known in English as Elephant Mountain. The Xiangshan Trail is a favorite trek for energetic hikers. The park is very pleasant, it's not far from the Red Line MRT station. You get a good view of Taipei 101 from the trail. By the way, be sure to take something to drink and a snack.

Zhongqiang Park is the only part of the Taipei where Green Tree frogs occur naturally. The frogs are protected by an ecological area in the north-east area of the park. You may not be able to see them, but it's likely you will hear them croaking. There is some interesting frog-themed play equipment for the younger set. The park is long and narrow, it's a former military firing range. It has a roller ring and a basketball court. Zhongqiang Park is in the east of Taipei, you are most likely to come across it on the way from the MRT station to the Elephant Mountain trail head. It's a pleasant park, good for a family outing.

Nangang Mountain is located at the eastern border of Taipei Basin; it is a popular mountain hiking route due to its connection to Sishou Mountains. Entering from Xiangshan Trail near Lingyun Temple, the path is paved with stones, marked with indicators and surrounded by Taiwan acacia (Acacia confuse). Along the path are numerous shelters and seats donated by Zaojuehui (Morning Exercise Club) that provide resting locations for mountain hikers. The trial is connected to Xiangshan, Hushan and Lishanqiaokou. Nangang MountainDaying PavilionNangang Mountain is located at the intersecting ridge of Xinyi District and Nangang District, and is the highest peak among the Nangang Mountains. On its peak are a glistering lamp and an equilateral triangle No. 695. The 196 m tall Nangang Mountain spans from Changshou Park to Muzhi Mountain, and provides great paths and trails for those who like to hike. At the peak, you’ll see four smaller mountains shaped like an elephant, a lion, a leopard and a tiger to the northwest, thus the name Sishou (“Four Beasts”) Mountains. An endless stream of mountains rises and falls to the east and south. There is a television broadcast antenna at the highest point of Nangang Mountain, with nearby ridges having sharp differences in altitude. One of the peaks is known as the “95 Peak”, so named after General Yang Sen, who conquered this peak at the ripe age of 95. A serene, peaceful trailXiangshan (Mt. Elephant) and Hushan (Mt. Tiger) belong to the same mountain series, but their sceneries are not as diverse as here. The later section of the trail is more tranquil with richer forest ecology than the Hushan Trail. Further down, the murmuring sound of creek and archaic bridge enhance the placid ambiance.
