Expansive grasslands undulate along the mountain ridges, with wooden boardwalks winding through the greenery. Qingtian Grassland is one of the most iconic grassland landscapes in Yangmingshan National Park. Located among the peaks of the Datun Volcano Group, its terrain is flat and vast. On clear days, you can gaze at the surrounding mountains and the Greater Taipei area, offering a rare open vista in the mountainous suburbs. Qingtian Grassland's topography originates from the terraces formed by the lava flows of Zhugao Mountain. It was once closely associated with activities like ranching and the temporary housing of draft cattle, making the grasslands and water buffaloes a distinctive landscape memory of the area. Visiting Qingtian Grassland today is more than just a walk in the mountains; it's an opportunity to experience the intertwined stories of Yangmingshan's natural and industrial changes through its grassland terrain and cultural context. Qingtian Grassland offers different charms in each season. In spring and summer, the grasslands are lush green, and you can observe butterflies, birds, and grassland plants along the trails. In autumn, silvergrass sways, Taiwan mountain daisies dot the paths, and the rolling grasslands under the sunset are one of the most beloved scenes for travelers. In winter, with distinct changes in clouds, fog, and mountain winds, it reveals another tranquil and charming aspect of the highland grasslands. Visitors can start from the Qingtian Grassland Visitor Center and stroll along the grassland trails, admiring the classic scenery formed by continuous grasslands, wooden railings, and mountain ridgelines. The entrance imagery, trail turns, and high vantage points are all suitable angles for photographing the grassland scenery. If you encounter water buffalo, please
