Why This Tour is a Must-Do

Taipei's best-kept secret
for nature lovers.

Neihu is Taipei's best-kept secret for nature lovers. On this 4-hour guided journey, we leave the skyscrapers behind to explore the Baishihu area. You'll experience the famous "Purple Dragon" bridge, visit romantic lakeside gardens, and finish at a historic temple perched high on a cliffside. It's the perfect balance of light hiking, local snacks, and spiritual culture.

Journey Highlights

What You'll See

—

Three movements through the green hills behind the city.

01

The "Purple Dragon"
& Romantic Trails

Our adventure begins with a walk across the Baishihu Suspension Bridge. Known for its unique keel-like structure and vibrant purple hue, it leads us into a peaceful farming village. We'll wander through the Husband and Wife Trees and the Tongxin Pool, a heart-shaped wetland that is a favorite for nature photography.

02

Artisanal Flavors
in the Hills

Taking a break from the trail, we stop at the Mingguwu Bakery Workshop. Nestled in the mountainside, this cozy spot allows you to enjoy freshly brewed coffee and handmade cookies. It's a true "slow-living" experience where you can breathe in the mountain air and recharge.

03

Bishan Temple —
The Best View in Taipei

The grand finale is a visit to Bishan Yan (Kaizhang Shengwang Temple). Not only is this a masterpiece of traditional temple carvings and craftsmanship, but its viewing platform offers a breathtaking 180-degree view of the entire Taipei Basin — including a clear look at Taipei 101.
