Aowanda National Forest Recreation Area is located in Qinai Village, Renai Township, Nantou County, Taiwan. The entire area is located on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Wanda River, about an hour's drive from Puli, and is located behind the Wanda Reservoir. It was originally a Seediq tribe. The Japanese began to build hydroelectric power plants, and it became a national forest recreation area after 1994. Aowanda is between 1,100 and 1,600 meters above sea level, with rich ecology, native beech and green oak, and two-leaf pine forest landscapes. There are 120 bird species such as the stork and the Taiwan blue magpie. From May, black-winged fireflies quietly appear, and Taiwan long-armed beetles and a large number of butterflies are also worth seeing.
Aowanda is charming in all seasons. In autumn, the maple viewing trail is decorated with large areas of native maple forests, and the bald cypress and maple trees next to the visitor center are dotted with colorful flowers every autumn, which is the busiest season in Aowanda. However, the beauty of cherry blossoms in spring is not inferior. The spectacular "Aowanda Suspension Bridge" connects the beautiful pine forest area. It is 180 meters long and 90 meters high. You can overlook the confluence of the Wanda North and South Rivers. It is also a must-see attraction when visiting Aowanda!
