If photographing Taipei 101 is on your Taipei bucket list, here are 3 spots worth checking out! 🇹🇼
📍 Elephant Mountain ⭐ Best for: The classic Taipei 101 skyline photo Pros: • Stunning panoramic views with lots of greenery surrounding Taipei 101 • The hike makes the view feel even more rewarding! Cons: • Lots of stairs—definitely a workout! • Can get very crowded, especially at the famous photo spot • Hot weather + mosquitoes can make the hike a bit rough
📍 Huain Park ⭐ Best for: An easy, stress-free photo stop Pros: • Super accessible with very little walking • Closer view of Taipei 101 • Usually much quieter, so you won't feel rushed taking photos Cons: • Doesn't have the lush mountain scenery, so the photos feel a bit less dramatic
📍 Zhucun Izakaya Restaurant ⭐ Best for: Early morning & evening city vibes Pros: • No hiking required • Beautiful at golden hour and after sunset with Taipei 101 glowing in the background Cons: • The least scenic of the three locations • Can get busy with people lining up for photos, so arriving early is your best bet
If I could only recommend one, I'd still choose Elephant Mountain for the unforgettable view. But if hiking isn't your thing, Huain Park is such an underrated alternative. ✨
