Part of the Tatunshan Range, Yangmingshan National Park includes some 20 dormant volcanoes, with attendant hot springs and geysers. Of the park's 1200 species of plants, some are unique to Taiwan and some are found only at high altitudes.
除了特殊的火山地形，及其蘊涵的溫泉、地熱、硫磺外，本區有一千二百多種植物，其中不乏台灣特有，或三千公尺大山才得以見的花草。
