Yangmingshan was known as Caoshan which mean Grass Mountain, it's reffers to the tall silvergrass that covers the highest slopes. Then, Chiang Kaishek renamed it Mount Yangming after his favorite Min philosopher Wang Yang-Ming (A.D 1472 - 1529).

Yangmingshan National Park is beautiful throughout the year and always different throughout the seasons because a multitude of flowers blossom on the hill and mountains.
