Danfeng Mountain
Danfeng MountainSpurAbout 2.6 km from the start

Danfeng Mountain is located in the central part of Beitou District, Taipei, Taiwan, 117 metres above sea level. Danfeng Mountain was originally named Wugong Mountain and Wugongxue Mountain and was changed to its present name after the war, said to be named because the shape of the hill seen from the air resembles a phoenix. On Danfeng Mountain there is a large rock inscribed with the two large white characters 'Danfeng', beside which is a Taipei City triangulation point. The view from the summit is good, taking in the whole of the Beitou urban area. During the Japanese colonial period the hill was planted all over with pines, so it was called Songye Mountain. Because a shrine to Kobo Daishi was built on the hill, it was also called Daishi Mountain.
