In the sunny day, it is comfortable place for walking and picnic on this vast grassland. At night, it is also a perfect place near the Taipei city zone to look at the stars without light pollution. Although the day we visited Qingtiangang is a cloudy day, taking a walk in hazy drizzle is also a romantic way to explore the beauty of Qingtiangang, isn’t it?
Qingtiangang is a lava terrace formed when the lava from Mt. Zhugao flowed north after its eruption. Because of its flat terrain, a ranch was established and the area was used as a pasture for grazing cattle during the Japanese occupation. So till now, we can see those cattle living in Qingtiangang grassland. If you have chance to visit Qingtiangang next time, don’t forget to say hello to them.
