3 ways to the highest point in Taipei. Qixing Mountain (aka 7 stars Mountain) in Yangmingshan National Park  is the considered the highest dormant volcanic peak in Taiwan, and the highest point in Taipei. The area is also an important ecological area with protected species. There are a few paths to the top with varying difficulty, and it offers great views of the Taipei Basin and the sunset. There are different paths to the top of the Qixing Mountain. For this FKT, we go up to the mountain in 3 different ways, for sceneries and for more challenges.
