    This is a popular hiking trail that leads up to the peak of the mountain, 183 metres high. The most popular starting point seems to be just to the south of Xiangshan Park or you can start from Yongchungang Park. The former is steeper, shorter and only takes about 20 minutes, but both provide a good workout. I actually climbed from Xiangshan Park, then climbed down to Yongchungang Park, which took about an hour and made the hike worthwhile.

    The views at the top are excellent. You'll get views of Taipei 101.

    Chiang Kai-shek (1887-1975) was a Chinese politician, revolutionary and military leader. He was known as the Generalissimo in the civil war against the Chinese Communist Party. In 1949, he and the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan where the Generalisimo led steadfast opposition to the Chinese regime in Beijing. The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall has a massive bronze statue of Chiang; the regular changing of the guard is impressive.

    Lot of interesting stuff - this place is must seen in Taipei. I preferred the second part - calligraphy and paintings on the 2nd floor and the whole 3rd floor. Audio guides are decent, but not necessary. We spent there 5 hours and it was barely enough, more time would be preferable (bear in mind that it closes on 5 pm).

    Still the iconic building in taipei. The shopping mall boasts a wide array of luxury and non luxury brands. Also some restaurants and a food court and supermarket in the basement

    It must get really busy here - but it was lovely and quiet when we went. Get the metro to Taipei zoo and walk about 5-10 mins to the gondola station.

    There are tickets machines outside and inside the building. It costs NT$120 per adult for a 1 way journey (approx £3). Like everything in Taiwan it's very clean and ordered.

    There are clear bottom cable cars and normal ones - there are queue lines are marked for either. We got straight into a cable cat and had it to ourselves. It's a 30 journey each way. The cable car is really quiet and smooth.

    There's not much to see at the top as it's not at the top of the mountain but it's still worth going up for the views.

    You can get the bus back down- much cheaper at NT$15 per person but we went down by cable car as there was quite a long wait - each bus stop has time tables in English.

    If you are planning on going to the zoo afterwards, get off at the zoo south station (not the last terminal station) as you can buy a zoo ticket and then walk down the hill rather than up again!

    It's great!

    It's an absolutely beautiful building and so worth a visit.

    Come on MRT blue line and exit to Longshan - you won't miss the temple!

    It's stunning to see - lots of people attending to pray and visitors taking photos. Offerings are being made, along with a big queue of people buying offerings.

    It's so worth a trip.

    A very good zoo. School groups of all ages were there. Those with small children should be aware that the zoo is on a slope so you'll be pushing a stroller up a hill or stopping it from slowly getting away from you.

    Went to Taipei 101 after recommendations from others. View was spectacular although bit smoggy. Certainly worth the trip up to 81st, 87th and 91st floors. Plenty to see and then downstairs to the shopping centre.

    This place is huge with a number of different buildings and various altars. All of the structures have detailed, artistic woodwork and there is a lot of variety. The temple is also very active as a lot of people were praying and burning incense when we were there.

    We saw this and the nearby Confucius temple that is less than a block away. The two temples are quite different and we were glad that we went to both.

    Was a bit hard to find. Language barrier. Finally found but is ok. The free dip pool needs swimming costumes and appeared ok. We passed didn't bother.

    The Pepper Cakes right at the North entrance make it worth the trip. The rest of the food offerings are also extensive, interesting and tasty looking - come hungry.
