Overview

Qianshan Park is a municipal park situated within the Yangmingshan National Park area in the Beitou District of Taipei. It is distinguished by its integration of natural volcanic landscapes, including public hot spring bathing facilities. The park features a mix of traditional Chinese-style landscaping, stone-paved walking paths, and expansive lawn areas. Visitors can access naturally sourced sulfur spring water through the park's designated public bathhouses. The site serves as a trailhead for several hiking routes leading into the higher elevations of Yangmingshan. Water from local thermal springs feeds several ponds, which are inhabited by koi and various waterfowl. The terrain is largely sloped, reflecting its position on the side of the Yangmingshan volcanic range.
