National park in northern Taiwan
Yangmingshan National Park, located in both Taipei and New Taipei City, is one of the nine national parks in Taiwan. The districts that are partially in the park include Taipei's Beitou and Shilin Districts; and New Taipei's Wanli, Jinshan, Sanzhi and Tamsui Districts. The national park is known for its cherry blossoms, hot springs, sulfur deposits, fumaroles, venomous snakes, and hiking trails, including Taiwan's tallest dormant volcano, Qixing Mountain rising to 1,120 m (3,675 ft). In June 2020, Yangmingshan National Park was certified as the world's first Urban Quiet Park Quiet Parks International in recognition of World Environment Day.
