Depart from your hotel and enjoy an hour-long scenic ride to Yangmingshan National Park. Upon arrival, take photos of this breathtaking park with gorgeous crater lakes and sulfur fumaroles. Your first stop is Chung-Shan Building, which is featured on the reverse of the New Taiwan $100 bill and was designed by a female architect. Here, marvel at its white walls and green tiles styled after the traditional Chinese court.
Have a break for a delicious lunch before making your way to the verdant Qingtiangang Meadow, also known as the Valley of the Sun. Breathe in the fresh mountain air as you take a relaxing walk with views of sunshine-filled grassy meadows and cattle grazing in the pastures. Then head to the Thermal Valley(closed on Monday), a remnant of the park's former volcanic activity, where the spring's waves of hot air and a cool breeze make you feel like you are in a sauna.From here, head to Beitou Hot Spring Museum(closed on Monday), one of the largest public baths in East Asia. Be mesmerized at its Victorian-style building with red bricks, wooden weatherboard, and black tile roof set perfectly against the surrounding greenery. While here, learn about Beitou's hot spring culture and history before your transfer takes you back to your hotel.

First trip with China Highlights, would book again
My guide in Beijing was Helen, she was amazing. Helen ensured that we were able to see all the sites and minimized our wait times in the lines. Helen used strategies and cultural knowledge to enhance our experience. Helen was very professional and flexible to our needs. For example, I wanted to buy jade, so she was able to accommodate my request. Additionally, she provided information for sites that I wanted to see on my own in my free time. more
