From Cemoro Lawang, took a jeep and headed to Gunung Penanjakan for the impressive sunrise. Penanjakan is the highest point on the outer crater. Reached there around 4am and felt freezing cold. The coldness numbed the fingers that I barely able to click the camera shutter release button. Should buy a pair of gloves from the local earlier.
If Yangmingshan is too far or too adventurous for you, try Xiang Shan (literally means Elephant Mountain) which is right in the city. The place is accessible by MRT. Just get out from Xiangshan MRT station, walk towards the park and you will be at the entrance in no time. Follow the signpost along the way. Be prepared for a series of steep stairway. At the stop uphill, you can get the closest view of 101 Tower. The starting point of Xiangshan All uphill climb Stairway to the top If you see this, you have arrived at the viewpoint Taipei 101 Tower View along the way Benches Posting as a sign of achievement Night view of 101
