Nangang to Xinyi Night Hike - 4 Beast mountains and City Lights
Details
A very nice evening hike that starts behind Academica Sinica and ends at last stop of Red Line MRT for easy ride home.
Not many people first half of trail, so is very peaceful. Elevation change is very gradual with few steep area until going down at Elephant Mountain. Very beautiful night views of Tapei 101 and city lights!
Bring light such as headlamp. Much of trail is well lit, but some parts are dark and the night critters come out.
Ride to Nangang Exhibition Center Station on Brown or Blue MRT line. Then take bus (205, 276, 306, 645) to Academica Sinica stop. We will meet at 7-11 near bus stop. (https://goo.gl/maps/XMbrWZQizFevZRtb7 - 7-ELEVEN No. 94,96號, Section 2, Academia Rd, Nangang District, Taipei City, 115)
