Bishan Temple: is one of Taipei’s most famous temples and is packed on weekends with people enjoying barbecues and fresh air(Taipei Escapes II by Richard Sounders).

Baishihhu Suspension Bridge: Opened February 2010 this 116 meter-long suspension bridge is supposed to bring to mind a flying dragon. Well, maybe not, but it is undeniable impressive structure.

Dragon Boat Rock: This large outcrop of rock crowns a wooded spur shape and gives a very memorable view over the surrounding hills and farms; it’s especially lovely at sunset.

Yuanjue Waterfall: is pretty small by local standards. The real attraction of the waterfall though is the beautiful wooded glen below, which is cool and shady on the hottest summer day and attracts many species of butterflies and insects.

There are some descending ropes to help on the steepest bits so better bring gloves!
