四獸山步道Four Beast Mountain

簡介：四獸山是位於松山區南方、南港山北麓的四個稜，因行似象、獅、豹、虎四獸而得名。四座小山海拔約138-185公尺，緊鄰台北東區，是台北市區難得的森林地。因居高臨下，台北市街景盡收眼底；是市民假日郊遊、登山健行的熱門路線。

（一）象山─四獸山中最偏南，因其形似躺臥的大象而得名。健行步道沿象山東西側山腰而闢，構成一完整循環路線，且山丘無任何屏障，登上山頂可將台北市高樓大廈一覽無遺。象山步道兩側有相思樹林、筆筒樹、菲律賓榕等植物景觀及一因巨大砂岩崩落而形成的水文山洞、一線天、解說牌，為台北市規劃最完善的步道之一。

（二）獅山─山腰有座天寶宮所塑之十八羅漢銅像，栩栩如生。步道可連結象、豹山。

（三）豹山─雖無山峰氣勢，其岩壁頗為壯觀。

（四）虎山─四獸山中最偏北，其步道始由松山慈惠堂旁的石階而上。沿途兩旁有相思樹林、香楠等各種植物、休憩涼亭、十方禪寺、真光寺等廟宇及經市政府整治規劃，設有拱橋、涼亭、觀水平台的虎山溪景觀區 。虎山雖無虎虎生威之勢，但登頂亦可一覽台北全景。
