Whoa, what a change. And for the better. A thread with only thumbs up.
Hope Farah is doing well as well. Think however that I shouldn't give her a thumbs up for being broke so I refrain from that ;-)

I'm a bit late to this thread, but if you have enough money to take a couple buses to get down to Dianchi, you can walk across Dianchi for free on Hubin Rd. The view of Xishan is terrific.
I also recommend simply walking along the Panlong River, either north or south of downtown, it's usually got a strip of landscaped/garden-y area on one or both sides and it's a great way to discover the city.

The Waterfall Park is good one too, and free (1, 2 and 3, geddit?):
