【2023 Firefly Viewing】Chiayi Day Tour | 1314 Tea Garden & Meet Rainbow Ecological Village | Depart from Taichung

— Attraction Introduction —

• Bat Cave
  The Millennium Bat Cave is one of the three major wonders of Ruili. The rock wall of the Bat Cave is an extension of the upper strata of Swallow Cliff, stretching over 200 meters. The rock is composed of layered sandstone and shale, with honeycomb-like holes formed on the surface. The largest hole is about 50 cm wide and 60 cm deep. It was once a habitat for bats, hence the name 'Bat Cave'. Unfortunately, the bats have long since disappeared.
• Swallow Cliff
  The rock wall where Swallow Cliff is located is about 40 meters wide. The upper part features beautiful parallel concave and convex lines, while the lower part has a concave wall about 2 meters high. A large protruding cliff face shows clearly visible horizontal cuts formed by wind erosion, densely covered with neat, small holes, which are said to be where swallows once built their nests. A mountain trail passes under the cliff; walking through it during the rainy season feels like walking through a water curtain cave as water cascades down from above.
• 1314 Tea Garden
  A well-known filming location for tea commercials, the highest point, Guanri Peak, is 1311 meters above sea level. On a clear day, you can look east from the pavilion at Guanri Peak to see Caoling's Dabang Mountain and overlook the entire Ruifeng Village to the south. At night, you can even see the night view of Chiayi City.
• Green Tunnel
  The Green Tunnel is a circular bamboo and cedar forest trail located next to the old house behind Ruolan Villa. It is a popular emerging hiking route in Ruili. This beautiful agricultural road is a vital artery for the local industry and a popular hiking trail in Ruili. It has served as a scene for martial arts films and is an important venue for Ruili's bamboo forest tea ceremonies.
• Meet Rainbow Ecological Village (formerly Ruolan Firefly Conservation Area)
  Meet Rainbow Ecological Village is located in the Ruili Scenic Area of Chiayi, on a mountain about 1000 meters above sea level. It is situated in the heart of the Alishan National Scenic Area, a unique environment far from the hustle and bustle. Ruili boasts fresh air, pure spring water, and rich natural landscapes and forest resources, making it a great place for relaxation, meetings, training, health, and leisure vacations. Meet Rainbow Ecological Village has long advocated for ecological conservation, and the park is rich in biodiversity. It is particularly dedicated to firefly restoration. From March to June each year, a large number of fireflies appear in the park, with the highest density in the country, making it a famous firefly viewing spot in Taiwan.
