		Yangmingshan is not as wild or dramatic as Taiwan's other mountain getaways, but it has two great advantages: no mountain permit from the government is required to climb in the national park, and it is right on Taipei's doorstep.
		The national park is riddled with a complex network of hiking trails that can confuse even native readers of Chinese.

	Tourists swarm Yangmingshan as butterfly season opens
		In Taiwan, the flowers grow largely on Tatun Mountain, which is located inside the Yangmingshan National Park, and are rarely seen anywhere but the island's northern areas.
		In the past, locals used to call the first appearance of the two species the opening of "the season of Parantica sita niphonica," although they likely used the common name for the species, which in English is "chestnut tiger." Large groups of these two butterflies have been seen flitting about Yangmingshan park since April.
		On weekends, residents of metropolitan Taipei like to escape the urban jungle and head en masse for the hills of nearby Yangming mountain to climb the steps hewn in the trails leading to the top of this hilly area, which is preserved as a national park.
