- Manyueyuan National Forest Recreation Area and Dongman Trail (Manyueyuan Section)
The Manyueyuan National Forest Recreation Area will be closed on February 10th for trail paving restoration work. Previously, the area underwent slope reinforcement work from the 0.45K to 0.6K mark of the hiking trail to maintain slope stability and ensure visitor safety. The main construction work is nearing completion. To restore the asphalt pavement affected by the construction and for overall environmental cleanup, the park will be conducting the final stage of construction. Considering the need for heavy machinery for the paving work, and for visitor safety, the Manyueyuan National Forest Recreation Area and the Dongman Trail (Manyueyuan section) will be closed for one day on February 10th. This is the final stage of the project, and upon completion, it will provide visitors with a safer and more comfortable recreational environment. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. For more information, please visit the " Taiwan Mountain and Forest Leisure Network ".
Located about a 40-minute drive from Sanxia City, Manyueyuan National Forest Recreation Area sits at an altitude between 300 and 1700 meters. Its year-round cool and humid climate fosters a rich fern ecosystem, including the demanding "fan fern." Small-scale logging once took place here, but the neatly planted forests of today bear witness to that era. The area boasts a diverse ecosystem of birds, amphibians, and butterflies, including rare species like the White-throated Laughingthrush and the Red-bellied Tit, both important birdwatchers at Manyueyuan. Around December each year, the autumn foliage here is breathtakingly beautiful, earning it the reputation of "Taiwan's most beautiful low-altitude autumn foliage."
Located at the end of the hiking trail, Full Moon Waterfall and Virgin Waterfall are two of the most beautiful sights in the recreation area. From the Full Moon Bridge, you can see a large rock wall more than ten meters high covering the top of Full Moon Waterfall. The waterfall plunges straight down with great force. Virgin Waterfall is more gentle and graceful. On sunny days, the light and shadow refract and change between the waterfalls, and you can often see the waterfall with a rainbow-like splendor.

The trail is about 900 m long, from the original visitor center through the Manzu Bridge to the Virgin Falls. The trail is mainly paved with blocks of stone, slate, P.C. pebbles, and colored embossed flooring, with wooden railings and imitation pine railings as safety guardrails.
There is a large rock wall in front of the Manyueyuan Waterfall, which hides the top of the waterfall, making it rush down like a chain of water. On the way to the Manyueyuan Waterfall, there is a "Manyue Bridge" where you can already hear the sound of the waterfall, as if to warn you that the waterfall is coming! There is a "Waterfall Viewing Pavilion" next to the waterfall, where you can have a panoramic view of the waterfall.
