Arguably the best place to witness the beauty of Taiwan’s seasons, Yangmingshan National Park boasts breathtaking sights and exciting experiences all year round.

Visit in spring to see the cherry trees in full bloom, in autumn to catch the fiery foliage, or in winter to take a rejuvenating bath in the hot springs.
