One of the seven national parks in Taiwan, the Yangmingshan National Park is located between Taipei City and Taipei County, Taiwan. Under Japanese rule, it was designated part of the Daiton National Park in 1937. Yangmingshan is the home of famous writer Lin Yutang, the summer residence of Chiang Kai-shek, residences of foreign diplomats, the Chinese Culture University, the meeting place of the now defunct National Assembly of the Republic of China, and the Kuomintang Party Archives. Yangmingshan is also the rumored location of an electronic intelligence listening post maintained by the Republic of China government in cooperation with the United States to monitor communications within the Peoples Republic of China. The Wuchih Mountain Military Cemetery borders the Hsichih end of the National Park. The National Park is famous for its cherry blossoms, hot springs, sulfur deposits, venomous snakes and hiking trails, including Taiwans tallest and one over the extinct volcano Seven Star Mountain. The Park is currently served by bus lines. The proposed Beitou Cable Car would link it directly to Xinbeitou Station.
