by Jim X Yangmingshan National Park "Flowers on the Mountainside"

Clouds descend into alpine reaches of the park, even as the Seven Star Mountain catches the eye in this spellbinding national park in Taipei. At the Yangmingshan National Park, this is a daily sight for most travelers who venture here. Earlier known as the Grass Mountain, this park dates back to the time of the Qing Dynasty when sulfur-rich deposits were set ablaze to deter thieves, leaving behind a trail of grasslands. As the park was developed, it bloomed to display the beauty it holds today, from residual sulfur crystals and plumes emanating from fumaroles to clusters of bright pink cherry blossoms. One of the few Taiwanese parks to feature hot spring pockets, this unique park also features a giant clock flower at its heart, with the statutes of Chinese and Taiwanese luminaries around it.

Museum of Damshui Fishgoodies (Yu Zang Wen Hua Guan) "Go Fish!"

Another one of places to visit when one is in Dansui is the Museum of Tamsui Fishgoodies. It is located along the port and very easily accessible.

The name "Yu Zang" literally means a hiding place for fishes. Who would have thought a center can be built specially for the study of fishes? - Maria Tan
