Travel Center / Comprehensive Report
Yangmingshan isn’t just about the night view behind Chinese Culture University or the vast grasslands of Qintian Ridge, nor is it only about the spring hyacinths or summer hydrangeas. In fact, there are many beautiful hidden gems in Yangmingshan waiting to be discovered by you—such as the dreamy and ethereal Dream Lake shrouded in mist, the movie-like Taipei Jiutian Black Forest, and the idyllic haven of Zhenzitou with its mysterious stream. Next time, why not visit these spots to see a different side of Yangmingshan?
Dream Lake
Located at the southeastern foot of Qixing Mountain, Dream Lake often dries up in autumn and winter due to little rainfall, while in spring and summer, frequent rain fills the lake to the brim. Each season brings a different natural scene. When mountain mist envelops the area, the lake, mountains, and clouds create a hazy, dreamlike landscape reminiscent of a fairyland.

Yangmingshan Black Forest
The forest is densely packed with tall, straight fir trees. Sunlight filtering through the gaps creates richly layered shadows, and photos taken here are incredibly aesthetic. Coupled with the tranquility of the black forest, there’s also a large heart-shaped art installation in the woods, making the romantic scenery not only burst with youthful charm but also adding a touch of sweetness to this hidden gem.

Zhenzitou Nature Park
Zhenzitou Stream is located in a small alley on Pingjing Street in Pingzheng Li, Yangmingshan. Often overlooked, this unassuming lane actually hides a beautiful, clear stream. Stepping into Zhenzitou Stream feels like traveling back in time to an old rural life. The bamboo-inspired rest pavilions along the philosophical walking path offer a place to sit and take in the blue sky and greenery, as well as the quaint scenery of the stream, bridges, and flowing water.
