It is dominated by the Datun volcano group and covers an area of ​​about 11,338 hectares. It is managed by the management office. The volcanic activity has formed cone-shaped and bell-shaped mountains, crater lakes, sulfur vents and hot springs, which are of both research and recreational value. Affected by the monsoon, the vegetation is diverse, including grasslands, broad-leaved forests, rainforests and aquatic plants, and breeds water ises, azaleas, butterflies and birds. The cherry blossoms and azaleas planted in the park make it a popular flower viewing spot in the suburbs of Taipei. In spring, in February and March, the flower season brings the colorful colors of azaleas and cherry blossoms, full of vitality. In summer, after the southwest monsoon and thunderstorms, the beautiful scenery of "Rainbow Bridge Across the Valley" often appears. In autumn, the silver grass is like a sea of flowers, and the red and golden leaves of maple trees interweave to form the "Autumn Colors of Datun". In winter, there is cold wind and drizzle, clouds and mist, and when there is a cold current, you may see the snow-covered Qixing Mountain and other places, turning it into a silver world. Volcanic landforms such as large and small oil pits and horse troughs are active, and the hot spring area is also popular.
