The park still features active volcanoes, vents, and hot springs.<br>The original name of the area was Caoshan (grass mountain \u8349\u5c71). During the Qing Dynasty, the area was used to harvest sulfur, and many of the hills were burned to help catch sulfur thieves, Qingtiangang likely being one of these areas.&nbsp;<br>Sulfur mining was started in the Qing Dynasty by a British mining company that first obtained the rights to mine here in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/zh.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%E5%A4%A7%E6%B2%B9%E5%9D%91\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1897<\/a>.&nbsp;In 1927 during the Japanese era, Yangmingshan was made as the first national park in Taiwan, then known as Datunshan National Park Association.&nbsp;<br>The area around Qingtiangang to Lengshuikeng was made into a ranch for water buffalo, and grass from Japan was planted here for them to graze.<br>In 1950 after the ROC took Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek renamed the park after the philosopher Wang Yangming, and called the area Yangmingshan.&nbsp;<br>The KMT kept the ranch at Qingtiangang and continued to maintain it. They also built bunkers here and kept a garrison of troops.<br>In 1985, after resolving many land disputes, Yangmingshan National Park was officially designated as a national park in the ROC era.&nbsp;<br>Due to its easy accessibility from Taipei and many natural attractions, it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Taipei City.&nbsp;Most visitors come on weekends, and it has parking lots and visitor&#8217;s centers throughout the park.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hours:<\/h2>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4956_24f5e3-9d, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4956_24f5e3-9d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4956_24f5e3-9d\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4956_24f5e3-9d mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4956_24f5e3-9d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4956_24f5e3-9d\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading4956_24f5e3-9d wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4956_24f5e3-9d\">The visitor&#8217;s centers are open from 9 AM to 4:30 PM.

The first time I went was with my parents. At the time I knew nothing about the park, just that the Lonely Planet guide has a huge section dedicated to it. We went the hardest way up Qixing Mountain from Miaopu and had to give up halfway because it was too tiring. I regret that trip so much because there are so many other amazing places in the park that are much easier to get to. From this blog, I hope you will at least get a general idea of what there is to see in this park and you can better use your time when your family visits Taiwan on their only trip to Yangmingshan in their lives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drone Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-youtube-block\"><div id=\"yb-video-w9iX_BSNJSQ\" class=\"yb-player\" data-video-id=\"w9iX_BSNJSQ\" data-title=\"Play\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/w9iX_BSNJSQ\/hqdefault.jpg)\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"yb-btn-play\"><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>See our drone footage above for an overview of most of the main attractions in the park.&nbsp; Below we have listed the main attractions to the park and links to complete blogs on each area.

Originally built as a meeting place for the now-defunct National Assembly, the building is now rarely used for events. The fact that is the only building in the world built right on top of a sulfur vent means that it is hard to maintain, and many parts of the building are under constant repair.
