Before heading out of Taiwan, be sure to check out the Elephant Mountain right in the middle of Taipei. A great spot for enjoying the sunset and watching the city of Taipei come to life at night, the Elephant Mountain is an easy trail, even for beginners. Some say it is more of a big hill, rather than an actual mountain. There are a couple of viewing decks, even before reaching the peak. Elephant Mountain is open 24/7, well-lit at night, and is a popular place for locals and tourists to simply just relax, go for a walk, or jog.
