-- Attractions Introduction --

● Gunjian Rock & Gunjian Rock Suspension Bridge Gunjian Rock - Near Baishi Creek near Xiulan, there is a huge rock in the valley. Because the rock wall is triangular in shape, it looks like a warship ready to set sail, so it is named "Gunjian Rock". The Gunjianyan Suspension Bridge is about 60 meters long. The bridge pillars are designed to symbolize the Atayal pattern. It was built in March 2015. It is one of the footpaths leading to the Kongxi Tribe and is also an excellent place to appreciate the magnificence of Xiuluan Gunjianyan and the Kongxi Suspension Bridge up close. Walk on the suspension bridge and admire the boat-shaped rock wall breaking through the waves. The whole natural beauty is right before your eyes.

● Simakus is an Atayal tribe located at a high altitude (about 1,500 meters above sea level) in the back mountains of Jianshi Township, Hsinchu County, Taiwan. It belongs to Yufeng Village, Jianshi Township. All residents are Atayal aborigines. Because of its location in the deep mountains with inconvenient transportation and long-term lack of electricity supply, it was once called the Dark Tribe. It is also the aboriginal tribe in the deepest mountains of Taiwan. Later, due to the discovery of a group of sacred trees, tourism was developed and it has now become an important tourist attraction. Known as the "Tribe of God", the area is famous throughout the province for its giant red cypress forest. It takes about two hours to walk from the tribe to the primeval forest. When you arrive at the giant red cypress forest, you can see a giant sacred tree known as the "Grand Lord of the Sacred Tree". The tree is about 2,500 years old, with a circumference of 20.5 meters and a height of about 35 meters. Its most distinctive feature is the "human" shape of the tree. The discovery of the sacred tree group attracted many people and it also became the Furusato of cypress.

● YAYA Giant Tree (YaYa Qparung)
Simakus is famous throughout Taiwan for its giant red cypress forest. When you come to the giant red cypress forest, you can see a giant sacred tree known as "Big Master". It is about 2,500 years old, with a circumference of 20.5 meters and a height of about 35 meters. Its most distinctive feature is its human-shaped tree shape, just like a gentle mother, opening her arms to embrace her children who come to the mountains to visit her, waiting for you to come and listen to the sounds of the forest. It is said that when the Japanese came, Simakus's people hid from the war here, so they called it Yaya, which means mother, to thank it for protecting the entire tribe. (The Giant Trees Trail is approximately 5.2 kilometers long, and a round trip of 10.4 kilometers takes approximately 4.5-5 hours.)

● Frog Rock Skywalk is the only skywalk in Jianshi Township, Hsinchu County. It perfectly presents the original appearance of beautiful mountains and waters. It is a trail where you can get close to the forest and enjoy a forest bath. In addition to the frog-like rock, the most exciting part of the trail is the "Skywalk (also known as the Rainbow Bridge)" and "Transparent Observation Deck" made of tempered glass at the end of the trail. Below is the river valley of the Naluo River, where you can experience the visual sensation of being suspended above the valley. On the right is the famous Frog Rock Waterfall, and occasionally you can see a dreamlike scene of a rainbow appearing in the waterfall. On the left side of the trail is the magnificent panoramic view of the Naluo Valley, which is definitely a must-visit attraction in Hsinchu.

● Cinsbu Tribe in Zhenxibao Cinsbu (called Cinsbu in Atayal language) originally means “the place illuminated by the first ray of light”. There are only 30-odd Atayal households here, with a population of about 200 people. It can be said to be a super-mini version of an aboriginal tribe. It is home to the largest virgin cypress forest in Taiwan, which faces the Simakus giant trees across the Takejin River. To the east, it faces the Yuanyang Lake area in Yilan, and is connected to the Qilan cypress native forest. Later generations named the giant trees according to their shapes, among which the most famous are the mythical Adam, Eve and the pregnant mother tree. Zhenxibao has its beauty all year round. The peak seasons are peach blossom season in March, peach season in June, cherry blossom season (approximately February-March), and maple leaf season (approximately November-December). If you go up and down the mountain at this time, you may encounter traffic jams!​

● Zhenxibao Church The church is located at an altitude of about 1,700 meters. It is a Christian church built by the Atayal people with their bare hands, brick by brick. The breathtakingly beautiful building embodies the Atayal people's wisdom and faith in life. The church also has an excellent view, overlooking the town of Zhenxibao, symbolizing the protection of the town.
