— Attraction Introduction —

• The access to the Twelve Zodiac Bends Shanlinxi Forest Resort is mainly via the Shanlinxi Highway. The Shanlinxi Highway is 17 kilometers long, and the "Zodiac Bends" along the way are named after the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, with each 180-degree bend offering a wider view, making it a unique feature of this section of the highway.
  
  
• The Forest of Forgetfulness is a sight to behold, with its straight, dark fir trees standing or leaning in the swamp. The calm water reflects the trees and the sky, and the ever-changing mountain weather adds to its beauty. On sunny days, the fir trees stand tall under the azure sky, and the water reflects the drifting clouds; the tranquil atmosphere of the forest allows one to forget the troubles of daily life. On cloudy days, often accompanied by mist, the Forest of Forgetfulness is shrouded in mystery, appearing even more profound and enigmatic.
  
  
• At an altitude of 1,600 meters, the average summer temperature is only 20 degrees Celsius. The Shanlinxi River flows year-round, and the area is covered with lush forests, surrounded by green mountains and water. The recreational facilities, designed around the natural landscape, offer visitors a refreshing experience in early spring, midsummer, cool autumn, or winter.
  
  
• Matsubayashi-cho Monster Village is a small commercial area located next to the entrance of Xitou Forest Recreation Area. It's a newly established shopping street in recent years, full of Japanese style. Although it's not large, it's quite well-made and interesting. The deeper you walk into Matsubayashi-cho, the more the Japanese style and scenery make you feel like you've stepped into another world.
  
  
• The Dalun Mountain viewing platform reaches an altitude of 1250-1500 meters. Climbing the viewing trail to the Guanwu Pavilion, a vast expanse of tea fields and ginkgo trees unfolds before your eyes, offering panoramic views of the five counties and cities in central Taiwan. Furthermore, the sea of ​​clouds at Dalun Mountain in winter is truly spectacular! The ethereal, misty clouds encircle the mountaintops, exuding a sense of mystery, while on a sunny day, they resemble a soft, fuzzy bed, full of childlike charm.
  
  
• The Xiaobantian Twin Waterfalls of Dexing Waterfalls comprise two waterfalls: Zhulin and Dexing. Located on the industrial road of Zhulin Village in Xiaobantian, it can be reached directly by car in about 15 minutes from Tianwei Lane. The waterfalls are towering and the sound of flowing water is melodious. The waterfalls have two levels. The water flow is gentle in the upper level, and then rushes down from the gap by the pool to form a rapid waterfall with a height of about three stories. The entire waterfall presents a contrasting yet harmonious scene of stillness and movement, gentleness and speed.
  
  
• The endless sea of ​​pink blossoms at Shima Park has sparked a romantic cherry blossom viewing craze! Come and enjoy the flowers, admire the bamboo, and relax! The beauty of half a day awaits your discovery.
  
  
• The "Changyuan Canal," a hidden gem in the Mengzong Bamboo Forest of Lin Shuangwen, boasts crystal-clear water where fish and shrimp can be seen swimming freely. After renovation by the Soil and Water Conservation Bureau, it offers visitors a high-quality resting spot with its most natural mountain forest appearance. Strolling along the canal, one is accompanied by lush greenery and the sound of flowing water. The canal also features parking, boardwalks, trails, and interpretive signs. Passing through the shade and the Mengzong Bamboo Forest, one will arrive at the ancient battlefield of Lin Shuangwen's last battle. To commemorate the heroic resistance against the Qing Dynasty, the residents have set up an unfinished chess game next to the trail.
