Yangmingshan & Hot Springs — Taipei's Volcanic Mountain Park

Yangmingshan National Park (陽明山國家公園 — the volcanic national park immediately north of Taipei city, accessible by bus from the Jiantan MRT station in approximately 30-40 minutes — Taiwan's most accessible mountain park): Yangmingshan is the only active volcanic zone in Taiwan, with numerous fumaroles (volcanic steam vents), sulfur deposits, and hot springs (溫泉 — wēnquán) that have made the area north of Taipei (particularly the Beitou (北投) district) one of the finest hot spring resort areas in Asia.
