A mountain-top flatland park, Qingtiangang provides amazing views of Yangmingshan National Park. By definition a lava terrace, the area was formed as a result of volcanic activity in the mountains nearby. After the eruption of Mt. Zhugao, the lava flowed north towards the area, creating this unique landscape. During the Japanese occupation, the area was established as a ranch for cattle to graze. The park is still home to cows and other wildlife. This area of Yangmingshan is very easily shrouded in clouds due to its elevation.

Vincent was our tour guide. I booked this tour with hiking without checking the weather first. That error was completely on me. Despite the rain, Vincent made sure we still saw as much as possible. We opted not to hike given the conditions. He took us to Qingtiangang Grassland, Jingshan Suspension Bridge, Lengshuikeng ecological pool, and Niunaihu Lookout. After these stops, the rain was getting worse, and he took the time to find out what else we could see to make the most of our time together. We ended up at the National Palace Museum. Vincent took us through the exhibits, explaining the history and significance along the way. I highly recommend booking with Yolo Taiwan.Excellent tour and very helpful caring guide who informed me about the flora, history of the cultural sites and Taiwan in general. Would definitely recommend him.

He took nice photos for us too. When he knew of our plan to visit Yilan on the following day, he even sent us information on nice places to visit and how to get there. Moreover, he did this after our tour with him.
