Qingtiangang Circular Trail — Attraction in Taipei

Beautiful scenery but please think carefully about how you get there! Main public bus is S15 but but note that the bus comes approx every 20 minutes and it's a tiny bus (necessary due to the winding routes upwards). We waited for approx 40 minutes for the buses and figured we won't be able to get in until the 3rd bus has gone off. We decided to take an Uber up the mountain instead, approx 15 USD/20 SGD.
