Hike though Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area, one of Taiwan's major recreational areas. Visitors come for a range of physical activities and bird-watching in a setting framed by lush trees. Ride the old train route to see the defunct timber plants, aerial lifts, and cable transport equipment used for moving cut wood. Bring your own snacks and hiking equipment, as this area remains quite remote and without many tourist facilities. Using our international travel planner, Datong attractions like Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area can form part of a personalized travel itinerary.

  2019-06-07計劃前往宜蘭太平山，我們ㄧ早05:40出發，因為端午連假，雪隧大塞車，我們改走北宜公路。 沿途的風景也非常美，終於11:30到達太平山國家森林公園，我們在遊客中心吃泡麵，配茶葉蛋，太平山宛如仙境，非常涼爽，沒有蚊子喔！ 太平山的花也綻放的非常美麗呀，下次絕不要連假前往。 我們還有到蘭城晶英酒店附近，ㄧ家超級棒CP值超級高的快炒店用餐喔。 因為回程回台北，走雪隧車程不到2小時  more »

  2019-06-07 to The Taiping Mountain, we went to Taiping Mountain, we went out at 05:40 early, because of the Lunch Break, snow tunnel congestion, we changed to the North Yi Highway. The scenery along the way is also very beautiful, at 11:30 to the Taiping Mountain National Forest Park, we eat bubbles in the guest center, with tea eggs, Taiping Mountain is like a wonderland, very cool, no mosquitoes! Taiping Mountain flowers are also very beautiful, don't go on vacation next time. We also have to go to the City Jingying Hotel near, the super bar CP value super high-value fast-fry shop to eat. Because the return journey back to Taipei, the snow tunnel journey is less than 2 hours

  太平山的海拔約2000m.和平地有12℃的溫差.大熱天上山很舒服的.四月底到五月是毛地黃盛開的季節.暑假避暑的好地方.十一二月美麗的三毛櫸步道.都值得推薦.唯一的缺點是住宿的山莊太難訂了.要兩個月前上網訂房喔！  more »

  Taiping Mountain's elevation of 2000m. Peace has a temperature of 12degrees. The mountain is very comfortable. The end of April to May is a good place for the summer vacation. The beautiful three-hairwalk in November and February. The three-hair edgy trail sits in November and February. The only missing point is the mountain where the accommodation is too high.

  Beautiful scenery and trails. The journey up the park is quite long but worth it. Just remember to check the website for toilet stops as there are not many toilets here. The park is less crowded in the morning and tends to be more crowded nearer to noon.

  If you like some moderate hiking, this is the place you must visit in the northern Taiwan. There are many hiking trails in this park. The trails are in the forest. You can actually smell the wonderful scents in the forest and immediately feel relaxed and happy. It is also very good for the elders to walk on some easy trails. The forest has a abundant ecological system. You can hear the monkeys on the tree top or run into some beautiful long tail elegant bird in the bushes. The walk on the trails may be full of surprises. Get you camera ready because you will never know what you are gonna see in any turns. The food and beverage in the park is not a 3 star restaurant. But personally, I would rather visit a underdeveloped place than a overdeveloped point. This is a good getaway during a weekend.
