How about this?

// EJS template
<% site.tags.sort('name').each((tag) => { %>
  <a href="<%- url_for('/tags/' + tag.slug) %>">
    <%= tag.name %>
  </a>
<% }); %>

// Example of result
<a href="/tags/NET-Core">.NET Core </a>
<a href="/tags/AWS">AWS </a>
<a href="/tags/AWS-Aurora">AWS Aurora </a>
<a href="/tags/AWS-CDK">AWS CDK </a>
...

Not actually. The problem is that when i click a tag，it can't jump to tag-list page。

// A piece of code under tag page
<ul>
	<li class="menu-item">
	          <a href="/tags/hexo/">hexo(1)</a>
	</li>
	<li class="menu-item">
	          <a href="/tags/ejs/">ejs(1)</a>
	</li>
	<li class="menu-item">
	          <a href="/tags/node-js/">node.js(2)</a>
	</li>
	<li class="menu-item">
	          <a href="/tags/jquery/">jquery(1)</a>
	</li>
	<li class="menu-item">
	          <a href="/tags/vim/">vim(1)</a>
	</li>
	<li class="menu-item">
	          <a href="/tags/php/">php(1)</a>
	</li>
</ul>

For example, when i click /tags/hexo/, it can't get the right page

1. Install plugin

First you have to install hexo-generator-tag plugin. (I assume you have been already install it.)

https://github.com/hexojs/hexo-generator-tag

2. create tag.ejs template

Create tag.ejs templage in <theme_dir>/layout directory. You can use tag-index.ejs, archive.ejs, index.ejs instead of tag.ejs. Please see hexo-generator-tag README.

// example
<theme_dir>/layout/tag.ejs
<theme_dir>/layout/tag-index.ejs

3. Implement template

Implement tag.ejs template. Also you can include other template engine. Please see hexo-theme-landscape.

4. Run server

After run hexo server you can access localhost:4000/tags/<tag_name>.

Have you created the /source/tags/index.md file? (This is from the root of the project and not the theme folder...)

Inside that file you should have markdown like this:

---
title: Tags
type: "tags"
layout: "tags"
---

Tags page shows the list of tags... the /tag/{tag.name}/ page shows articles for that tag... The the /tag/ page is generated by the hexo-generator-tag plugin. As @yoshinorin mentioned above, you need to specify how the tag data is layed out... So, you have to create the layout file for tags (list). The generator plugin only creates the data set for use in the layout files...
