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 at Dayoukeng Crater in Yangmingshan National Park was started in the Qing Dynasty by a British mining company that first obtained the rights to mine here in&nbsp;1897. Currently, you can find lots of old mining equipment that were abandoned here. The Yulu Old Trail was built near Dayoukeng to transport mining materials and extended over to Qingtiangang. Mining sulfur ended with the formation of Yangmingshan National Park.&nbsp;<br>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>In&nbsp;2018, a mother died after being pushed over by a water buffalo at Qingtiangang. In 2020, the family was awarded&nbsp;NT$3.96 million&nbsp;from the park and wooden fences were built around the grasslands shortly after.&nbsp;<br>The water buffalo at Qingtiangang are actually closely watched and cared for. Although they roam free around Yangmingshan, they are watched over by the Agricultural Associations of Jinshan, Shilin, Yangmingshan, and Beitou, as well as the national park management.<br>In the winter of 2020 which was unusually wet, tens of cows began to die of&nbsp;malnutrition, therefore the park took steps to supplement the diet of the remaining cattle. Many cows were brought to lower eve lavations for rehabilitation before being released back to Yangmingshan.&nbsp;<br>Due to its easy accessibility and nearby attractions such as Lengshuikeng and Qixingshan, it is a popular stop in Yangmingshan and has parking lots and a visitor&#8217;s center.

Here they were mining sulfur, which ended when the park was created during the Japanese Era. The sign at the site states the following:<br \/>&#8220;A visit to the mining site at Lengshuikeng&#8221;<br \/>&#8220;In 1953 the Ruiyong company applied to the Taiwan Provincial Bureau of Mines to develop a mine in the southern foothills of Mt. Qigu, at the site of a mineral survey carried out during the Japanese occupation period (195-1945). The mine (whose office was located on the site of the present Tianbao Shengdao Temple) produced sulfur blocks; after mining came to an end, the pit evolved into the location of today&#8217;s Niunai (milk) Lake. In 1995 part of the mining area (at the southeast saddle of Mt. Qigu) was turned over to the Hongchang mining company, which used wet screening and percolation to refine iron sulfide ore for use in making fertilizer by the Taiwan Fertilizer Co. Later on the mine was taken over by the Yonglai company, which used the remaining chalky clay to make chemical materials. The mine was a major producer of clay for Taiwan from the 1970s into the 1990s.&#8221;<br \/>\u200bCheck out more photos of the area in the photo gallery above.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wsite-image wsite-image-border-none\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; text-align: center;\"><a><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foreignersintaiwan.com\/uploads\/5\/4\/3\/2\/54326073\/published\/jingtiangang-80.jpg?1613958105\" alt=\"Picture\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; font-size: 90%;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">Because Qingtiangang is pretty high up (nearly 800 meters above sea level), you might get covered in fog on a cloudy day.

Zhugao, and its relatively level terrain made it an important pasture area for cattle during the Japanese occupation period (1895-1945). Long-term grazing has turned the area into an expansive grassland.<br \/>Qingtiangang lies at an elevation of only 770 meters between the Qingtiangang mountain system (Mt. Zhugao, Mt. Huangzui, and Rear Mt. Dajian) and Qixing mountain system, forming a vital hub that links the two. Qingtiangang is also situated on the most direct route from Jinshan to the Shilin and Tianmu areas, and for Taiwan&#8217;s pioneer settlers it was a major transportation base.<br \/>From here, you have a choice of which way to go:<br \/>1. The Qingtiangang Loop Trail, which leads off to the right and runs for about 2.4 kilometers, offers expansive views of grasslands and observation of anti-airborne pillboxes and other military sites on the mountains.<br \/>2. The trail that leads to the left was built for military purposes during the occupation by the Japanese-the zigzagged Japanese trail, which was used for transporting cannons. (the trail, which is mostly a gentle downward slope, runs about 3.5 kilometers to Shuanghuang Creek).<br \/>3. You can go through Qingtiangang to the historic Jinbaoli Trail Gate and visit the Jinbaoli Trail, which the pioneers used for transporting such things as fish, tea, sulfur, and cattle between Jinshan and Shilin (Also called the Yulu Historic Trail, it is a steep downwards slope to the Tianlai trail entrance, a distance of about 5.6 kilometers.)<br \/>4. From the east side of the gate, enter the Mt. Ding-Mt. Shiti Trail (about 6.4 km), look for the Japanese fir forest that has remained since the reforestation days, and look at Oldham&#8217;s azalea, which blossoms profusely along the trail in the springtime.<br \/>Slow down and experience the rich diversity of natural landscapes, the plant and animal ecologies, and the stories of history and culture you can find here.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wsite-image wsite-image-border-none\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; text-align: center;\"><a><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foreignersintaiwan.com\/uploads\/5\/4\/3\/2\/54326073\/jingtiangang-88_orig.jpg\" alt=\"Picture\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; font-size: 90%;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">Back in 2018, Qingtiangang did not have any real fences, just some posts and two ropes.
