阳明山(阳岭)

A forest park beside Chongyi county town, formerly called Yangling and renamed after Wang Yangming stationed troops there. Forest cover is about 97%, earning it the title of natural oxygen bar.

Yangmingshan was formerly called Yangling and lies right beside Chongyi county town. It is a national 4A-level scenic area with forest cover of about 96.8%, and the air carries a very high concentration of negative ions. Sights in the mountain include Yangming Lake, the Lanxi Valley rainforest and Yunyin Temple. Trails and winding mountain roads lead to a summit viewing platform overlooking the county town and distant mountains. It takes 10–20 minutes from the county town to the park gate, making it suitable for a half-day forest walk. The coordinates correspond to Yangming Lake (Yangming Reservoir) inside the park. Admission follows the scenic area's rules.
