4. Erliping is located in Yangmingshan National Park of Taiwan.
Take the bus R5 from Taipei Jiantan MRT station (or Shilin MRT station) to Yangmingshan bus station.
After about 45 minutes, it arrives at Yangmingshan, (the terminal stop) and you transfer to bus 108
that circles the park. Erziping is so popular that sometimes bus 108 goes nearly directly there.
Erziping Trail has the first barrier-free passageway in Taiwan, which is designed particularly for the
disabilities. This 1.8 km long flat trail is paved with cement. Visitors with weak knees or wheelchair can
enjoy the whole journey along the pathway. Also there are some pavilions and benches for a break.
The path leading to Erliping is known as the Butterfly Corridor.
Different flowers and plants bloom and flourish along the path in different seasons. Erziping is a plain
surrounded by mountains. There is an ecological pond, pavilion, bathrooms, etc. It is often filled with
mist, making the surrounding mountains seem smoky and mysterious. Visitors come here might catch
glimpses of the Chinese bamboo partridge, squirrels, insects, and other wildlife.
Note: Northeasterly winds bring plenty of moisture and rain during September and May. Roads and
trails may be wet. Please wear anti-slip shoes.
