位於劍潭山親山步道上,為臺北市熱門的IG打卡景點。由此可俯瞰臺北城市美景,展望視野極佳。同時,也是欣賞夕陽、夜景的好地方。

Yuanshasn Scenic Area 圓山風景區
It is one of the three major scenic areas in Taipei City, offering excellent panoramic views, convenient transportation, and numerous recreational spots nearby such as the Grand Hotel, Lengshuikeng Trail, Martyrs’ Shrine, and Xinsheng Park, among others. Moreover, it is highly praised by tourists for its “Three Excellences and Ten Beauties, the Ten Views of Yuanshan” theme, which highlights 10 distinctive scenic spots within the scenic area.
其為臺北市三大風景區之一,景觀視野佳,交通便利,且周邊遊憩景點多,如:圓山飯店、稜線親山步道、忠烈祠、新生公園等等。又,其以「三好十美,圓山十景」為主軸,規劃風景區內具有特色的10個景點,深受遊客好評。

Jiantan Moutain Trail 劍潭山步道
Jiantan Mountain is the northern ridge of the mountain behind the Yuanshan Hotel and is the closest mountain to the center of Taipei City, featuring convenient transportation and accessible trails, plus it was once a military restricted area and a safeguarded woodland, making the natural forest and plants well preserved and suitable for families and children.
劍潭山為圓山飯店後山的北稜,也是臺北市最接近市中心的小山,交通便利,且步道平易近人,再加上這裡曾是軍事管制區與保安林地,所以自然林相與生態植物保存相當完整,適合親子同遊。

Bishanyan 碧山巖
Bishanyan is the largest of the Kaizhang Shengwang Temples in Taiwan, which attracts many visitors. The location is high enough to overlook not only the Taipei basin, but also the meandering Tamsui River, Carp Mountain, and terraced rice fields. At night, tourists can enjoy the beauty of the Taipei 101 Building and the Yuanshan Hotel from here.
碧山巖是臺灣最大開漳聖王廟,香火鼎盛。又,其位置居高臨下,不只俯瞰臺北盆地,站在廟前平台更可見蜿蜒的淡水河,鯉魚山及梯田等等,水光山色,相映成趣。夜晚時,在這裡便可將臺北101大樓、圓山大飯店等夜景之美盡收眼底。
