Elephant Mountain is the highest point on the Sishou (four beast) Mountain trail. Not only does the mountain provide a superb panoramic view, at a single glance it is possible to take in the full vista of Xinyi District — and from close up appreciate the soaring grandeur of Taipei 101. It is one of Taipei’s most popular outdoor destinations at night. However, if you want to see the beautiful scene for yourself, it is by no means an easy task: You must first climb an approximately 1.5km-long mountain path. It is an ideal activity for all the family after finishing the Lunar New Year evening meal. While enjoying the wonderful sight of Taipei city at dusk, climbing that little bit further will certainly feel all the more worthwhile.
Getting there: to reach Elephant Mountain, take up the trail head from Alley 22, Lane 150, Xinyi Road Section 5, Xinyi District, Taipei City.

象山位於四獸山步道的最高點，不只景致極佳，可以一覽整個信義區的遠景，還能近距離感受台北101的高聳雄偉，是台北市區最熱門的夜遊景點之一。不過想看到這幅美景可不容易，首先得爬上約1.5公里長的登山步道才行。非常適合全家人吃完年菜後一起來運動。當欣賞到台北市華燈初上的絢麗美景時，想必爬得再累也是非常值得啦！

Computex, Asia’s biggest electronics conference, kicked off Monday in Taipei, and as in years past drew industry chieftains from Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang and Qualcomm Inc.’s Cristiano Amon to Young Liu of Foxconn, which makes the bulk of the world’s iPhones and Nvidia servers. But while last year’s event was a celebration of the post-ChatGPT AI boom, executives this time are likely grappling with the uncertainty of the Trump administration’s effort to reshape the global trade order — disrupting a decades-old model for tech manufacturing. This year’s exhibition will of course feature the hardware required to bring artificial intelligence to life.
