The Taipei-Yilan Expressway, also known as the "Chiang Wei-shui Expressway," is Taiwan's first expressway that spans the east and west. The Xueshan Tunnel, formerly known as the Pinglin Tunnel and abbreviated as the Xueshan Tunnel, was included in the Encyclopedia Britannica at the time and was recognized as the longest tunnel in East Asia. Located between 15.2 and 28.1 kilometers on the Taipei-Yilan Expressway, between Pinglin District, New Taipei City and Toucheng Township, Yilan County (two-thirds of it is in Pinglin District and one-third is in Toucheng Township), it runs through the Xueshan Mountains, with a total length of about 12.9 kilometers, and is also a representative of Taiwan's public engineering technology.

Taiping Mountain is located in Datong Township, Yilan County. It is known as the "paradise on earth". It covers an area of 12,631 hectares and is nearly 2,000 meters above sea level. It is under the management of the Luodong Forest District Management Office. The entire area includes the Nanhu Dashan Mountain Range, Sanxing Mountain Range, and Dabajian Mountain Branch. The park is famous for its preserved original forests including red cypress, cypress, and hemlock. It was once listed as one of the three major forests in Taiwan along with Alishan and Baxianshan. After the government ended the logging business in 1982, it was transformed into the Taiping Mountain National Forest Recreation Area. Due to the great difference in altitude and the subtropical to frigid climate, each forest belt has a variety of tree species and beautiful materials. The rich forest landscape includes subtropical, warm temperate and cold temperate cypress virgin forests, hot springs, Cryptomeria plantations, cypress plantations, waterfalls, lakes, etc.; the Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area has different landscapes in each season. It is colorful when the flowers bloom in spring, and there are also changing scenes of red leaf plants in the four seasons. In autumn, the fiery red maple trees bring bright colors to Taipingshan. In addition, mountain cherry blossoms, plums, apricots, Taipingshan white cherry blossoms, etc. also show different styles with the seasons.

2D1N Taiping Mountain Tour: Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area, Jiuzhize & Taiping Mountain Villa Accommodation

Jianqing Nostalgic Trail/Sea of Clouds The scenery is as its name suggests. When the weather clears up after a long period of rain, you can overlook the Lanyang Plain and the majestic Shengling Line. There is often a magnificent and poetic sea of clouds in the afternoon. Sometimes, after being trapped in the white fog for a long time, you will feel a desire to see the weather clear up. This is the origin of the place name "Jianqing".

Cuifeng Lake is very special in shape, surrounded by mountains and surrounded by grass on the shore. Sitting here leisurely, you will feel relaxed and happy. The lake scenery changes in various ways, with spring, summer, autumn and winter leading the trend. When the spring breeze blows, everything is full of vitality. When the spring rain continues, the lake water will be more fresh and refined.

The trolleys in Taipingshan were mainly used to transport logs in the past. Their real name is "mountain timber rail car". There are 16 tracks in Taipingshan, with a total length of more than 100 kilometers. Among them, the Maoxing Line is the section with the most bridges and the most representative of the mountain rails in Taipingshan. The second and fourth Tuesdays of each month are maintenance days. The trolleys will be stopped on those days for mechanical maintenance (if it is a national holiday, the next day will be postponed as maintenance day). 2-day tourists staying at Taipingshan Villa can purchase the first/second class of the next day first (If there is any change, please refer to the on-site announcement of Taipingshan)

What You Can Expect

Duration: 2 day(s)

1 Day

Meal(s) of the Day: Lunch , Dinner

07:30
Meet at Taipei Main Station East Gate 3 (please check in with the staff wearing the orange Taiwan Tour Bus vest)
On the way, you will take a short break at the Magnolia Tea Village (about 15-20 minutes)
The Middle Interpretation Station (the midpoint of the former Taipingshan Cableway) The "Middle" is surrounded by mountains, with tall and dense Cryptomeria forests, green mountains and extremely broad views. It is called the Middle because it is located between the former Jiuzhize and Lantai. A visitor center is set up here to provide relevant information about the amusement area. There is an indoor exhibition hall that exhibits the four-season landscape, natural ecology and park attractions of Taipingshan. There is also a multimedia room. By watching the multimedia introduction, you can have a deeper understanding of the humanities, history and four-season customs of Taipingshan. The outdoor space displays a steam logger, which was used to pull steel cables to haul wood in the past and was an indispensable and important tool in the forest farm.
Bailing Giant Tree (passing by) Bailing is located between the middle and Taipingshan Villa. It is named because it is often covered with clouds and fog in the afternoon, and the top of the mountain is covered with white. This place is also a base for viewing the Bailing Giant Tree. The Bailing Giant Tree is a red cypress grandfather that is more than 2,500 years old. The tree is 30 meters high, about ten stories high, with a breast diameter of 3.4 meters and a chest circumference of 9.4 meters. It takes about 6 people to hug it. Although it was struck by lightning and the tree body is hollow, the surrounding secondary xylem is still solid and intact. Since the water needed for the growth of the tree is transported upward from the roots by the xylem, and the nutrients produced by photosynthesis are transported downward by the phloem in the inner layer of the bark, the giant tree can still maintain its vitality and continue to grow by relying on the secondary xylem. At the same time, Bailing is also the watershed between coniferous and broad-leaved trees in Taipingshan.

This is the origin of the place name "Jianqing".

Hatonosawa
The old name is Shaoshui, which means geothermal hot spring. During the Japanese colonial era, Japanese loggers built hot spring bathhouses here, and hot spring bathing became a rare pleasure in the loggers' life; the Japanese called it "Jiuze Hot Spring", and in 1969 it was renamed "Renze Hot Spring", and in 2006 it was restored to its original name "Jiuzhize". The source of the spring comes from the geothermal heat at a depth of 2,200 meters. The spring temperature is about 140 degrees Celsius, and the bathing area is adjusted to a suitable temperature of 38-42 degrees Celsius. The spring is clear, colorless and odorless, and feels smooth after washing. It is a weakly alkaline sodium bicarbonate mixed spring that can relax muscles and bones, beautify the skin, and is known as the "Beauty Soup". In order to provide tourists with different bathing experiences, the open bathing facilities include an open-air SPA pool, a male and female nude bath area, and a family wild bath area. Among them, the open-air SPA pool is a creative stone bath made by drilling holes in the huge stream stones brought by the typhoon. The male and female nude bathing areas and the family wild bathing area allow visitors to enjoy the phytoncides and warm spring water in the broad-leaved forest in the green valley. In addition, there are two egg-boiling tanks in this area, which emit hot spring water all year round for visitors to DIY boil eggs. The hot spring eggs are fragrant, soft and tender, and exude a unique hot spring fragrance, which is also a great enjoyment after taking a bath!
