Xiangshan is very easy to reach as it has its own metro station. From there, walk about 5 minutes towards the south and you can start up the trajectory to Xiangshan which might take a total of 40 minutes or less. It is very steep with a lot of steps, but other than that an easy hike uphill. It is safe and you will be rewarded with beautiful views!
There is a clear trail mostly consisting of stairs leading up to Xiangshan.
Most stunning views of Taipei during the day and by night!
