Suggested Itinerary
Depart from your hotel and enjoy an hour-long scenic ride to Yangmingshan National Park. Upon arrival, take photos of this breathtaking park with gorgeous crater lakes and sulfur fumaroles. Your first stop is Chung-Shan Building, which is featured on the reverse of the New Taiwan $100 bill and was designed by a female architect. Here, marvel at its white walls and green tiles styled after the traditional Chinese court.
Have a break for a delicious lunch before making your way to the verdant Qingtiangang Meadow, also known as the Valley of the Sun. Breathe in the fresh mountain air as you take a relaxing walk with views of sunshine-filled grassy meadows and cattle grazing in the pastures. Then head to the Thermal Valley(closed on Monday), a remnant of the park's former volcanic activity, where the spring's waves of hot air and a cool breeze make you feel like you are in a sauna.From here, head to Beitou Hot Spring Museum(closed on Monday), one of the largest public baths in East Asia. Be mesmerized at its Victorian-style building with red bricks, wooden weatherboard, and black tile roof set perfectly against the surrounding greenery. While here, learn about Beitou's hot spring culture and history before your transfer takes you back to your hotel.

Tour of Beijing
Tom from China tours guided us for a hike on the Jiansanling section of The Great Wall and then a one day tour of Beijing including Forbidden City Tiananmen Square and the Summer Palace. He was very friendly and accommodating from the begin. He answered all of our questions about Chinese history and culture and gave great explanations of the history of all the monuments we visited. The restaurants he chose and dishes he recommended were very tasty on both days. I would recommend him very highly to anyone looking for an English language tour in Beijing and particularly for people interested in history. more
