The driver's car was excellent, handling even the bumpy mountain roads of Smangus with ease, and he had complete control over the terrain and travel time. Throughout the journey, he continuously introduced local attractions and specialties, including delicious Hakka steamed buns, unlocking a glimpse into traditional Hakka cuisine. Although it was Xiaoyue from Smangus who came to visit, the giant tree grove truly lived up to its reputation. Well-preserved deep in the mountains, many ancient trees, some over a thousand years old, stood silently guarding the place. Strolling through the sacred mountain, the air was filled with the faint scent of cypress, and the trails were lined with lush bamboo. The round trip was about 11 kilometers, with two restrooms along the way. The trail was sometimes a wooden boardwalk and sometimes muddy. Driven by my love for these giant trees, I made a special trip to visit. Sitting by the trail, enjoying lunch amidst the giant Yaya trees, made the trip truly worthwhile.
