Xiaoyoukeng is a famous attraction in Yangmingshan - it's a post-volcanic geological landscape area.
Meaning you get to see sulphorous gas and steam coming out from vents on the ground as well as the unique landscape.
Even fumaroles with bubbling hot water loaded with minerals.
It's not everyday you get to see volcano fumes right in front of you.
There's a path where you could walk along to take in the sights.
The visitor center is next to the bus stop.
The Yangmingshan sightseeing bus will make a stop there. Yangmingshan is also a very good place for hiking - hiking paths also lead to this place. Not that I'd want to hike up :)
It's also quite cold and windy at this stop so bring your windbreakers, jackets, whatever.
After that we settled down for a long drive down the beautiful coastal road towards our next much anticipated destination - Yeliu!
How to go to Xiaoyoukeng:
You can reach Yangmingshan by bus, and hop on the mini bus 108 which will bring visitors around to the various attractions. Advisable to take mini bus if you are not the hiking type.
From Taipei Train Station North Exit 2 take bus 260. Yangmingshan is the last stop.
