2025 Nantou Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 If we were to say which mountain in Taiwan is the easiest to climb that is over 3,000 meters high, it would definitely be Hehuan Mountain. In addition to being accessible and easy to climb, the seasonal changes on the Hehuan Mountain Road are also a reason that attracts mountaineering enthusiasts to come and worship. Hehuan Mountain is composed of seven peaks. The main peak of Hehuan Mountain is 3,416 meters high, the East Peak is 3,421 meters high, the North Peak is 3,422 meters high, the West Peak is 3,144 meters high, Hehuan Peak is 3,217 meters high, Shimen Mountain is 3,236 meters high, and Shimen North Peak is 3,278 meters high. The main peak of Hehuan Mountain ranks 37th among the 100 peaks in Taiwan. If there weren't a fence at the entrance of the mountain, both motorcycles and cars would be able to go up. Our family of five originally planned to go up the mountain on Double Ten Day, but the plan was postponed to the end of the month due to the expansion of the Wuling parking lot and consecutive holidays. Fortunately, I didn't get up at that time. I saw news reports that the entire Provincial Highway 14A was jammed during the Double Tenth holiday. The Wuling and Kunyang parking lots were like night markets. Provincial Highway 14A was like a super parking lot, and many cars and motorcycles were illegally parked along the way. This climb was the first time for my three children and my wife to climb the 100 Peaks. I have climbed several of the 100 Peaks myself. My wife has asthma and was worried about something happening during the climb, so we climbed up slowly in a walking manner. It took more than three hours to go back and forth. If I had walked at my own pace, I could have completed the climb within two hours. Fortunately, I climbed to the top of the main peak of Hehuan Mountain and descended safely. Although I warned all my family members before the climb that we should descend immediately if we felt any discomfort, fortunately, there was nothing unusual. Although Hehuan Mountain is very easy to climb, everyone is warned at the entrance to respect the mountain and not to do anything inappropriate. I also made an appointment with my children to take them to challenge the East Peak, West Peak and North Peak of Hehuan Mountain next time, and my wife said that she also wanted to climb the summit with us again. My wife's condition is what I am most worried about. (20191026)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Since I bought the museum card, I found it really useful. As long as it is an affiliated venue on the museum card, you can enter and visit it for free. Of course, the Phoenix Valley Bird Park that we visited today is one of them. The park covers a large area. In addition to the area below the gate entrance, there is also a bird park on the upper right side of the gate. In the park, you can see all kinds of rare birds and animals, as well as different plants in the mountains and forests. Many parents were seen bringing their children to watch these birds, and the children were also stunned. There are also dedicated guides on site to help adults and children get to know the bird park better. It is a very good venue for both education and entertainment. (20210402)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 When it comes to the specialty of Zhushan Town, it is closely related to bamboo products and bamboo arts, mainly bamboo products, such as winter bamboo shoots, osmanthus bamboo shoots and various bamboo shoot products. In addition, Zhushan's red sweet potatoes are also very famous. When it comes to bamboo handicrafts, Zhushan Cultural Park is currently the largest bamboo craft exhibition hall in Taiwan. The museum houses various bamboo artworks, as well as bamboo toys and chairs from our childhood. The outdoor area of ​​the park is a favorite for children, who can run freely on the grass and the PU track. Here they can also enjoy the lively and cute shapes of the twelve zodiac animals made of bamboo. If you want to learn about Zhushan’s bamboo craftsmanship, Zhushan Cultural Park is definitely a good choice.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 If you want to learn more about Yushan, come to the Tatajia Visitor Center first! The Tatajia Visitor Center is located at an altitude of 2,610 meters, at the junction of Provincial Highways 18 and 21. There is a parking lot and you can drive there, or you can hike to the nearby Lulin Mountain, Linzhi Mountain, Dongpu Mountain and Yushan trailheads, and then have a cup of coffee at the Tatajia Visitor Center. Before entering the visitor center, you will see the statue of the Bunun warrior, the stone cup totem, and the huge tree in front of the garden. The Tatajia Visitor Center is a two-story building. The first floor has an audio-visual room, a service desk, and theme exhibitions; the second floor has exhibition explanations: Yushan’s medium and high altitude ecology, topography and geology, Bunun and Tsou culture, Yushan’s history, etc., which can help you better understand Yushan’s natural ecology. On the other side of the second floor is a restaurant where you can take a break, eat, or drink coffee. It is a good place to sit and enjoy the cool breeze when you are tired from climbing. You can also check out the latest real-time images of Yushan, which is very important for those who want to climb Yushan. #Tatajia Visitor Center #NantouXinyi

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Climb to the summit of Yushan Outpost at 2881 meters --- #Lulinshan. Early this morning, I took a car with a mountain climbing group to the Lulin Mountain trailhead at 93.1k on Provincial Highway 18 in Xinyi Township, Nantou County, and began a 5-hour mountain hike. My luck blew up today. When I was driving through Alishan, I drove into a sea of ​​clouds. When I arrived at the trailhead, the weather was amazing, the sky was incredibly blue, the sun was shining, and there was no fog. It was amazing! Today's hiking route is as follows: Parking lot - Paiyun Mountaineering Service Center - Big Hemlock - Linzhi Pass - Linzhi Mountain Saddle - Lulin Mountain - Lulin Mountain Villa - Linzhi Mountain Trail - Big Hemlock - Tatajia Visitor Center - Parking lot. The entire journey is 8 kilometers and takes 4.5 hours. There is actually a lazy way to get to Lulin Mountain, which is to take the asphalt road the entire way and get there super quickly! But we took a detour along the mountain trail. The dirt road and wooden steps were in good condition, but the terrain was quite up and down. In addition, it was a peak with an altitude of 2,881 meters, so we still had altitude sickness and it took a lot of effort to walk. The Lulin Mountain area has a wide view, and you can even see the South Peak of Yushan Mountain. There are large grasslands, bamboo forests, fir forests, etc. along the way, which makes walking very cool. You also have the opportunity to see wild animals such as muntjacs and weasels. If you are physically fit, you can walk to the Yushan trailhead at Tataja Saddle, but the slope will be more difficult. #Lulinshan

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 This is a tourist factory located in the industrial area, Shude Mid-Levels Dream Factory. The factory combines art exhibition areas, shop art areas, Taiwan Island Cultural Center and the World Austronesia Center. You need to purchase tickets to enter the Mid-Levels DreamWorks. On the other side of the service counter is the art exhibition area. As you enter the venue, you can see a wooden tree made of wooden boards and iron cables. It is named the Tree of Life. This is a must-take photo place for tourists. Walk up along the floor to the top floor where you will find the art area of ​​the store, where all of Shude's own products are sold. There is a large expanse of skylight on the other side of the Tree of Life, and there is also a rock climbing field next to it that can be purchased with tickets. This is a high-quality tourist factory. Although it is located in an industrial area, its interior design concept is no different from that of an art gallery.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Taiwan Craft Culture Park is located in Caotun Township, Nantou. The park consists of several buildings including the Design Hall, Information Hall, Cultural Hall, Local Crafts, Living Crafts, Zhida Craft Hall and Administrative Building. Its purpose is to "cultivate craft talents" and "preserve craft technology" to pass on Taiwan's crafts. The exhibition halls in the park are all free, and the venue is open without fences for the public and tourists to enter and exit freely. The exhibits in the exhibition halls are changed from time to time. There is also a children's play area here, where parents can bring their children to play and it is a good place to relax.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Liyu Lake is located in the eastern suburbs of Puli Town and is known as the "Little West Lake". It is surrounded by mountains and water and has beautiful scenery. There is a trail around the lake that takes about an hour to walk around the lake. There are also train tickets and bicycles for rent, which is a more relaxed way to enjoy the view of the lake. Because of the beautiful surroundings, there are many hotels and B&Bs operating near the lake, providing travelers with more accommodation options.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Guanyue Boutique Hotel is located next to the outer ring road of Xinyi Road in Puli. In addition to convenient transportation, it is not far from Puli Night Market, Winery, Carrefour and other urban tourist attractions. The hotel's attractions include spacious rooms, clean and large bathrooms, and breakfast. There are rich and varied Chinese and Western breakfast dishes, and the service staff is very fast in replenishing the meals. They are not afraid that you will eat too much but will not eat enough. Just like their slogan, come to Puli and stay at Guanyue to eat well, live well and feel good.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Yu-Hsiu Art Museum is located in Caotun Town, Nantou. It is a "contemporary realistic art" museum constructed using exposed concrete and glass. Yuxiu Art Museum adopts an appointment-based visiting system, and any mobile phones or cameras are prohibited from taking photos inside the museum. The trees, flowers and plants in the entire park are well maintained. There are also several works of art on display on the lawn. There is also an art bookstore in the park where tourists can buy their favorite books and artworks. If you are tired of visiting, there is also a literary and artistic cafe next to the art gallery that provides simple meals and drinks for tourists to order. Simple and neat architectural lines are the biggest impression given by Yu Hsiu Art Museum.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The most famous inn in Cingjing Farm is The Old England. Its elegant English Tudor-style appearance makes you feel like you have come to an aristocratic manor in the Kingdom of England. It is so beautiful. The interior decoration of Old England can only be described as luxurious and noble. It is no different from the castle where royal nobles live, with crystal chandeliers, plush carpets, antique furnishings, leather sofas, and even the audio speakers are worth millions! Although it has been more than 15 years since it opened in 2009, its hardware and software facilities are still well maintained and have not lost their popularity at all. No wonder the room rates remain high. A superior double room with two meals costs NT$15,000 per night on weekdays, which is comparable to a five-star hotel. It is really quite noble. However, the room is simply luxurious. The space alone is 46 square meters, and it is divided into living room, living room, bathroom and other spaces. It is decorated with even a fireplace, which really has a super European feel. From the window you can overlook the green grass garden of Cingjing Farm and breathe in the fresh mountain air, which is very comfortable. Breakfast and dinner are also a major highlight. The exquisite presentation of French cuisine and the elegant English-style long table make the food taste instantly better. I really admire the effort put into creating the atmosphere in Old England, which makes people willing to spend money. #Cingjing Farm #Old England Manor

🗓️Itinerary: Higetsu-cho➡️Blue Castle x Juno French Dessert➡️Tori-gai Tea House➡️Feeling18 Chocolate Workshop Hizuki Town: There is a market to visit.

For a one-night stay with two meals at Sun Moon Lake, we chose the Fleur de Chine Hotel, which offers an excellent lake view. The hotel's location is superb, with no other buildings around to obstruct the view. You can overlook the entire Sun Moon Lake and the lush forest. No wonder the hotel is always busy despite its high price. The hardware, software, and service quality are impeccable. We stayed in a 46-square-meter classic mountain view room, but we were lucky enough to be upgraded to a deluxe Japanese-style mountain and lake view room, probably because it was a weekday. Although the area is about the same, the layout and view are much more open. The Japanese tatami mats make the resting space larger and more leisurely. The room is a corner room, offering a panoramic view of the mountains and lake. It's fantastic! The main purpose of visiting Sun Moon Lake is to relax and vacation, so the comfort of the hotel is very important. Besides the great view, there is also a large bathtub for hot springs, as well as a balcony and lounge chairs. It's so comfortable that you don't want to leave the room. However, we still went cycling around the lake trail to get closer to nature. As for the room rates, the classic mountain view room with one night and two meals costs about 13,000 TWD. Considering the upgrade to the 17,000 TWD deluxe Japanese-style mountain and lake view room, the money spent is worth it. After all, it's a five-star hot spring hotel with a first-row lake view. Even in Japan, the price is about the same.

Spring in Aowanda without admiring the maple leaves? There are actually cherry blossoms in full bloom! Located in Ren'ai Township, Nantou, the Aowanda National Forest Recreation Area is over 2000 meters above sea level. Every year in February, at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the mountain cherry blossoms in the park quietly bloom. By the end of the month, the crimson sea of flowers is quite enchanting. Although it doesn't cover the entire mountain, the blue sky and green land as the background still make for great photos! The Aowanda park is not small, but due to the impact of previous typhoons, many trails have been closed or damaged. Currently, only the Forest Park Trail and the Bird Watching Trail are open, so there is a discount on the entrance fee. Additionally, the external roads are under repair with time restrictions, so the number of visitors does not affect the quality of flower viewing. You can still have a great time and take beautiful photos! ✓ Entrance fee: 150 NTD, free parking with electronic ticket. ✓ Transportation: National Highway No. 1 - Changhua System Interchange - National Highway No. 3 - Wufeng System Interchange - National Highway No. 6 - Puli End Interchange - Provincial Highway 14 - Da'an Road.

When I came to Sun Moon Lake, although I had visited this beautiful lake and mountains many times, this was the first time I climbed the Ci'en Pagoda. Going up the revolving staircase, every step is filled with anticipation, until the moment you reach the top of the tower, the magnificent scenery instantly comes into view - a 360-degree view of Sun Moon Lake, and the picture of the lake and mountains intertwined is so beautiful that it takes your breath away. This shocking experience made me list Ci'en Pagoda as a must-visit attraction in Sun Moon Lake without hesitation!

I believe that anyone who is making money doing business or is a businessman will be familiar with the "Zi Nan Temple in Zhushan". This Zi Nan Temple in Zhushan, Nantou can be said to be one of the most popular temples for the God of Wealth in Taiwan. Every year, countless pilgrims come to pray for wealth and golden roosters. During the Chinese New Year, the crowds of people who go to Zi Nan Temple to pray for wealth and the Goddess of Money will squeeze the surrounding area and the traffic will be blocked from the highway to the temple gate! The temple enshrines the God of Land, the Goddess of Land and the Stone God. When you worship them, you should first invite the God of Land, the Goddess of Land and the Stone God, and proactively tell them your name (or company name), address, wish, etc. The older generation all suggest that you should be as clear as possible to avoid the God of Land's office making mistakes about people and things. I think that sincerity will make your wish come true. In addition, the most popular thing to do when you come to Zi Nan Temple to pray for wealth is to pray for money (borrowing money, repaying money). I am also a good kid who comes here every year😚 📍Address: No. 40, Dagong Street, Zhushan Town, Nantou County 557 🕰️Business hours: Monday to Sunday 07:00 - 21:00 #January Good Place 2025 #Zi Nan Temple #Nantou Zhushan

At the foot of Jiujiu Peak in Nantou, there is a low-key but high-quality art space - Yuxiu Art Museum. This museum focuses on #contemporaryrealism, and the building itself is like a large-scale work of art. It has also won the first prize of the Taiwan Architecture Award.

If you wanna experience some japanese culture vibe, you may try visiting this place in Xitou,Taichung,Taiwan. It took about 2 hours from HSR (High Speed Rail) Taichung to Xitou by bus. The place is very calm and quiet suitable who seek for nature. They sell a lot of souvenirs here, it was all pretty and not so expensive price. They have a lot of foods here, suprisingly you might try to buy their nuts, yes NUTS, its so sweet unlike the one i taste in my home country ! and the viral bakery which they sold out the cheese buns when i went there huhu.Oh, also their egg tarts! it was sooo good, the stall only beside the bakery, you need to try them! #newyearnewtrip #taiwantrip

From the top of Ci'en Pagoda, you can take in the full view of the lake and mountains. The pagoda itself is not very tall, and the steps are gently designed, making the climb not too tiring. The entire journey takes about 20 minutes to reach the base of the pagoda, and another 5 minutes to reach the top. Each floor of the pagoda has an outer corridor, offering different views at each level. Watching the beauty of Sun Moon Lake from different heights is truly refreshing. The best part is, Ci'en Pagoda is completely free of charge. Ci'en Pagoda Yuchi Township, Nantou County

#2024TravelReviewChecheng The scenery of Checheng is different every season, like a flowing painting scroll. This time it was a day with a strong autumn atmosphere. The bald cypress trees beside the timber storage pond had turned yellow, and they shone brightly in the sunlight. Every time I arrive in Checheng, I take a walk by the pool first. Checheng was once famous for its logging industry. The lakeside trail and the bicycle path along the Shuili River are all original wooden plank roads. There is a visitor center for consultation. Due to its small area, the famous attractions include: Checheng Railway Station, Old Street, Wood Industry Exhibition Hall, Wood Storage Pool, Mingtan Reservoir... It only takes 3 hours to go around the circle. We went to the town store for a picnic to do some shopping, sat at wooden tables and chairs looking at the mountains and the blue sky, and tasted the delicious food we bought... Life can be so simple and easy; it happened to be a weekend holiday, and there were street performers performing in the car square, and an open-air music feast unfolded before our eyes. If you have enough time, you can also ride along the bicycle path of Shuili Creek to Shuili. There are several viewing platforms along the way; you need to bring your own bicycle 🚴♀️! 💞Recommendation reason: A small town in the valley, very healing 📍Address: Checheng Village, Shuili Township, Nantou County 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Warm/Paid parking lot 100/time

Beautiful environment with lush greenery, and the art installations are very pretty. They also sell many Nantou specialties. In winter, you can enjoy the bald cypress trees. It's quiet at night, and overall, it's very comfortable and relaxing. There's a convenience store at the entrance, which is very convenient! If you don't stay overnight, the entrance fee is 200 TWD, which can be used to offset 100 TWD of consumption. You can arrange to have a meal (coffee, light meals), take a walk, shop, and take photos. It takes about 4-6 hours (2-3 hours if you don't dine). Many of the scenic spots are perfect for taking Instagram-worthy photos! Address: No. 176, Section 1, Zhongshan Road, Puli Township, Nantou County, Taiwan
