Venue Description

Hushan Peak, located in Taipei City's Xinyi District, is one of the Four Beast Mountains (Tiger, Leopard, Lion, Elephant Mountains), with an elevation of approximately 140 meters. It is known for its panoramic views and close-up perspective of Taipei 101. The trail entrance is not far from the base; visitors can ascend from the Hushan Creek Trail or near Fengtian Temple and Yaochi Temple. Most visitors can reach the summit within an hour, as the path is mostly shaded and easy to walk, making it suitable for hiking, strolling, birdwatching, and family outings. The observation deck at the summit has seating and offers views of Taipei city center and the Nangang and Neihu areas. Watching sunsets and night views in the evening is especially popular. Compared to Xiangshan (Elephant Mountain), it is less crowded, and there are free parking spaces near Yaochi Temple. One can connect to Leopard, Lion, and Elephant Mountains to complete the Four Beast Mountains in one go, which takes about two hours. Some sections have steeper stairs, so beginners are advised to choose a gentler route to ascend.
