- Attraction Introduction -


He Xing Station was originally a station slated for demolition, but it was saved thanks to the arrival of a couple who claimed it. Currently, the station is operated by Lavender Forest, and after its renovation, it features a retro-style waiting room, old train carriages transformed into comic-themed trains, and a sweet carriage selling desserts... Now, He Xing Station is full of happiness and is perfect for family outings.


The Smangus tribe of the Atayal people, known as the "Trinity of God," boasts a unique natural environment and cultural landscape, making it one of the most remote indigenous tribes in Taiwan. Due to its remote location, Smangus only received electricity in 1979 and was once called the "Dark Tribe." Today, Smangus is renowned for its ancient tree forests, but it still retains the traditional Atayal way of life, coexisting with the earth and nature, a secluded paradise in the mountains.


The Giant Tree Trail starts from the village and is about 11 kilometers round trip. If there are elderly people or young children who cannot walk the entire route, they can walk 2 kilometers and then return to the village via the same route. There are nine giant trees in the Giant Tree area behind the Sky City, which is a mysterious place promised by God after hearing the chief's prayer. The most popular sacred tree is the 2,500-year-old Grandfather Tree, which the village calls Yaya Qparung, and the people of the plains call it the Grandfather Tree, because the front of the tree resembles a grandfather opening his arms to welcome his grandson.


The Battleship Rock Suspension Bridge is located on the way from Xiuluan to Tianpu Village, nestled in a valley. This giant rock formation resembles a warship ready to set sail, hence its name "Battleship Rock." Not far across from Battleship Rock is Xiuluan Hot Spring, a naturally flowing hot spring located on the riverbed behind the elementary school. However, the water flow is not strong and not very stable, so most people go there to play in the water or soak their feet, which is still a great experience.


Eagle Creek Trail starts from Neiwan and is 30 kilometers long. You can rest at Yu Lao Viewpoint along the way. From the trail entrance, it is 900 meters to the end point, Lipu Waterfall. It is considered an introductory-level trail but has 100-point scenery. Eagle Creek has now become synonymous with beautiful stream trails.


Yu Lao Viewpoint is located at an altitude of 1450 meters, at the intersection of the front and back mountains of Jianshi Township. It is also a necessary route to Simakus and Zhenxibao, so it would be more accurate to call it a relay station. It happens to be the highest point of the mountain road, so many tourists and cyclists rest here. There are several snack shops, fruit and vegetable stalls, restrooms and a police station nearby. After riding the winding mountain road for a while, this is a good place to get off and walk around.


Neiwan Old Street is located in Hengshan Township, Hsinchu County, and is predominantly inhabited by Hakka people. While visiting Neiwan Old Street, you can also sample delicious local specialties such as wild ginger flower rice dumplings, purple jade vegetable buns, Hakka Lei Cha (pounded tea), Lei Cha shaved ice, and Hakka mochi. The traditional street houses on Neiwan Old Street hold unique historical significance, having once been a major thoroughfare in the Jianshi area, a region known for its forestry.
