Elephant Mountain is just a stone's throw from Taipei 101 and the Xinyi District. The short hike to the top affords some outstanding views of Taipei City and unlike going to the top of Taipei 101 it's free. To get there walk along Lane 150, Section 5 Xinyi Road (信義路五段150巷) at the end of the lane you will find the beginning of the hiking trail.
