The name, Tough Guy Peak, is derived from the fact that, you have to overcome a long stair to the peak to prove yourselves as a tough (or a tough girl, no offense). After all this, you are qualified to claim this breathtaking landscape as prize. It takes about an hour going up the hill and a half to get down. If you expect a more relaxing journey, just round the estimation up to two.

There is notmuch to see unless you reach the top. Even when you arrive at the transmit base station, the observation stage nearby is not ideal for photo-shooting, as the best degree takes 5 more minutes going up. There is a platform at the top, on which you could relish the whole Taipei in 270 degree: On the left side, you can see the estuary of Tamsui River; Tamsui and Yangmingshan are on the opposite side; Taipei downtown is situated at bottom right of the hill.

The best time for visit is an hour before sunset. You will be able to see and snap the landscape until the buildings gradually lit up. Be noted that northeast monsoon in autumn and winter will drop the temperature drastically. Even in aid of tripod, it is hard to take a clear picture with long exposure by reason of windy environment at the peak. Remember to bring a hand torch or fully charge up your cellphone if you come for night scene since there is nearly none of streetlight along your way down.
