As mentioned earlier, I pretty much live on the mountain. These mountains are not high at all, perhaps about 200~300 meters at the very most. I am guessing that where I am, it's about 150m in height. Just about 10min drive from my place, deeper into the mountains, is a series of hiking trails that links the mountain basin together. So you can technically walk around Taipei if you want. I like to take a short hike on this trail that isn't very populated. It's one of the very few places in Taipei area that is still packed with wildlife. By wildlife, there isn't many variety of animals here, but mostly insects and plants. Like CD sized spiders with webs spanning between trees, butterflies, mountain crabs and so on.
Here's a good way to show you what I mean by "basin". You can see from the video, Taipei 101(the second tallest building now) sits on the east side of Taipei city, surrounded by mountains.
.... and here's on another part of the trail, where you can see Taipei county.
Some creatures along the way.
Grasshopper
Caterpillar
Spider
The woods
