The 15 Best Yangmingshan & Beitou Tours near Taipei

1.Beitou and Yangmingshan National Park Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 307 reviews · 9 hours · from $65Our pick

Spend nine hours with an English, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, or Traditional Chinese speaking guide exploring Yangmingshan and Beitou. Walk Qingtiangang, see fumaroles at Xiaoyoukeng, pause at Zhuzihu, visit Thermal Valley and the Hot Spring Museum, then relax in a mineral foot bath.

“The tour guide, Chirstina, has good knowledge about the places I visited. I booked the tour as group tour, luckily for me, only me booked the tour that day, so the whole tour just the tour guide, driver, and myself. It’s a private tour with the group tour price. By that means, I really recommended this company, they can cancel me out, but they still go on the tour even just one person.”
