We departed from Jiantan MRT Station and passed the Jiantan Youth Activity Center. This is an antique building with red brick walls, small bridges, running water and pavilions. After a brief visit, we transferred to Jiantan Park. It is also the trailing edge of Jiantan Mountain. Jiantan Mountain is a large north-south direction, and we climb from south to north. The trails are not wide but clean, and there are huge old trees from time to time. Our commanding height today is to watch the plane take off and descend. From here, you can see the landmark 101 building in Taipei. There are several small temples on the hill and places to sit and meditate. You can enjoy the sunset to the west and the Taipei Basin to the east. Down the mountain, the path is steep, but the stairs are great and it is easy to walk. There is a bus stop under the mountain, and the traffic connection is very smooth.
