#bestsunset #travel #naturalwonders #taichung Gaomei Wetlands, located in Taichung, Taiwan, is famous for its stunning sunsets, wind turbines, and scenic boardwalk stretching into the tidal flats.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Shenmu Valley Holiday Hotel is located in Guguan Scenic Area, Heping Township, Taichung City. There are two places in the hotel that are worth tourists' careful appreciation, one is the thousand-year-old pine and the other is the centenary soup. There is a thousand-year-old five-needle pine tree in the hotel. The tree stands proudly above the mountains. It is about 36 meters tall and it takes 6 adults to hug it. The hotel decorated the area around the Shenmu tree with waterfalls, water wheels, marble tables and chairs to create a Shenmu courtyard landscape to attract tourists. Baisuitang is the famous Guguan Hot Spring. The hot spring gushes out from the foot of the mountain with a temperature of about 52 degrees Celsius and a pH value of 7.6. It is a weakly alkaline carbonate spring. The water is inexhaustible all year round and the water is colorless, odorless, clear and transparent. Soaking in the hot spring pool not only makes the whole body feel comfortable but also relaxes the muscles and promotes blood circulation. Shenmu Valley Holiday Hotel is also managed with great care. After passing the Guguan Suspension Bridge, the upper stairs and both sides are decorated in a strong Japanese style, making you feel as if you are in a Japanese hot spring area. When you come to Guguan, it is a popular place to take photos and check in. The photos are beautiful no matter it is day or night.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 There are seven Taiwan black bears of different shapes in the Guguan Hot Spring Square, and each black bear represents the name of a mountain near the Guguan area. Although these mountains are only one or two thousand meters above sea level, they also represent the infinite natural ecology nurtured by this mountain range. Guguan was originally the residence of the Atayal people. Next to the steps of the hot spring square there is a statue of an Atayal doll as a representative. There is also a foot soaking pool in this square. Tourists who come to the hot spring square always take off their shoes and soak their feet in the pool. Although the hot spring square is not very large, you still have to come here to visit when you come to Guguan and feel the charming charm of Guguan Hot Spring. (20201118)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 It’s time for the annual family trip again. This year we have arranged a two-day trip to Guguan. Autumn and winter are the seasons for hot springs, so this time is very suitable for going to the hot springs. Last year, we were also arranged to stay in Guanziling, a well-known hot spring area. Although the accommodation at Lin Guiyuan Stone Club was spacious and comfortable, the breakfast food was very bad. The venue of the Ritz Landscape Hot Spring Resort we found this year is not as big as last year, but the room area is indeed larger than last year. The food and beverages, whether breakfast or dinner, are very good, especially the dinner, which everyone praised. There are two tables of ten dishes in total, and there are still two or three dishes that we can't finish in the end because there is free braised pork next to the rice pot. The entire dinner was much better than what we had at Guguan Street at noon. Also, because it was my eldest brother’s birthday, I asked the association to add an extra dish of pork trotter noodles. This pork trotter noodles was different from what we usually eat, but it tasted really good. There are two pools in the room for soaking, one hot and one cold. There is also an open-air hot spring pool SPA sauna above the room. If the bathing in the room is not pleasant enough, you can take a bath in the outdoor pool. Everyone was very satisfied with the food and accommodation during this stay, except that everyone was very full after breakfast, so when checking out, we asked everyone if they wanted to have lunch. In the end, everyone said in unison that they were not hungry, and finally took a group photo in front of the clubhouse and dispersed on the spot. We hope that next year's family trip will be like this year, with everyone having a good meal and a good sleep.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Originally, when we checked out of our family trip, we wanted to invite everyone to go to the Baxianshan National Forest Recreation Area, because the recreation area is only a few kilometers away from the clubhouse where we were staying in Guguan. But in the end, no one wanted to go because we might have to climb a mountain, and we didn’t exercise much, so our family of four had to go by ourselves. It turned out that we came to the right place. In fact, the mountain road was not as easy to climb as we had imagined. Although there were stairs, the altitude was not very high. There was a paddling pool under the amusement area where children could play water games. A little further down there is a large platform. Standing on the platform, you can overlook the mountains in front and the waterfall formed by the sand-blocking bridge. There is a nature education center next to the first parking lot, which also contains some introductions to ecology. If you don’t want to walk up the stairs, you can drive to the second parking lot to save some energy as you will need to climb some stairs later. There are some scenic spots to visit along the way as you go up the stairs. It is very suitable for the whole family to experience and understand the forest ecology near Guguan. Before the end of the year, everyone will have one free entry to any national forest recreation area in Taiwan, so if you are planning to visit these forest recreation areas, you should seize the opportunity.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts was completed and opened on June 26, 1988. At that time, it was named "Taiwan Provincial Museum of Fine Arts" and was affiliated with the Taiwan Provincial Government. Later, after the implementation of "streamlining" in 1999, it was changed to the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts and was affiliated with the Ministry of Culture, Executive Yuan. The National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts has a large interior area of ​​approximately 102,000 square meters. Sculptures by many artists can be seen in the outdoor grass and woods. Various artistic creations are exhibited in the art museum from time to time. Today I brought my whole family to visit the art museum. I took in all the outdoor sculptures and saved them all in my photo album. If I were asked to choose which city in Taiwan has the most suitable environment for living, I would definitely choose Taichung and Taoyuan. What they have in common is that there are many parks and green spaces, so there is not much sense of oppression between buildings. The streets in Taichung are also better greened, so it feels very comfortable whether driving, riding a car or cycling. Whether on weekdays or holidays, you can see many parents bringing their children to have picnics or run around and play on the grass at the National Museum of Art. It is such a blessing to have such an environment and space for people to stretch their muscles in the city. (20201129)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 InterContinental Taichung is a very new hotel. From the lowest to the highest floors, guests can experience different Taiwanese scenery. Many details on the connection between different materials are done very meticulously. Hanging in the center of the lobby is a Czech crystal chandelier, which was inspired by the energy and light emitted by the Big Bang of a cosmic supernova. In fact, you can stare at it for a long time while standing in the lobby. The decoration in the middle of the lobby uses light yellow flowers and curves drawn by bamboo, letting the softness of spring permeate. Staying in a small suite, the room doorplate is made of 100% recyclable glass, which is manually pressed by Chunchi Glass craftsmen to look like mountains at different altitudes in Taiwan. In addition, the bed set, foot mat, and slippers are exquisitely designed. The bathroom dressing table feels very grand, the shower is very good, and the BYREDO supplies used are the most familiar ones, needless to say. Swimming pool, gym. The swimming pool is very popular and is fully utilized by families. The noise of children can be heard everywhere. The gym also has the latest machinery and equipment, and is detailed and unique. The executive lounge is located on the 17th floor. It is small and beautiful, without any exaggerated decoration or difficulty in selection, but the service is dedicated. The wine is ok, but the dishes do not reflect the local characteristics such as Taichung cuisine.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The Rainbow Military Village in Taichung was created by a grandfather who was very talented and completed the painting of the entire military village. It cannot be accomplished overnight, it requires perseverance and persistence. Thanks Grandpa for creating a fairy tale world of your own for everyone, which is now on the cloud. The 101-year-old Rainbow Grandpa passed away in early 2024. Although the Rainbow Village he created is not a master-level painting, it is very colorful and healing. As expected, it is full of artistic sense and attracts many foreign tourists to visit every day. Some walls have been replaced by other people's paintings in different styles. After watching Rainbow Village, it felt like I was watching the life story of Grandpa Rainbow. I was really moved.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Because I came to Taichung to watch the Flower Carpet Festival, I was supposed to stay at the hotel on Saturday night, but it was booked for Friday night. So after get off work, I packed my clothes and rushed to the hotel to stay two nights in Taichung. The next day, I went online to see if there were any cheaper hotels. Later, I posted the photos and information on Facebook. My wife's second sister saw it and called my wife to tell her that she would stay at her house on Saturday night. Her house was near Taichung Station. We didn't want to disturb them, so we booked the hotel. We had agreed to treat them to dinner, but they went to pay the bill secretly. We came to this hot pot restaurant for dinner today because the owner and my second brother-in-law are comrades in the army. My wife had eaten here once before, but I had not. Before six o'clock, the tables in front of the store were already full of customers. Customers who came in one after another were already queuing up. The soup and shacha sauce of this store taste good, especially the shacha sauce. This is the store with the best shacha sauce that I have ever eaten. I heard that every time my second brother-in-law brings his friends to consume, the boss will treat them to several dishes, and today is no exception. After finishing dinner and leaving, the customers in line started quarreling, so we quickly packed up and asked the boss to receive the next group of customers. It seems that delicious food always attracts gourmets from afar. I hope that next time they come to Pingtung, we can treat them well. (20201128)

#AprilGoodPlaces2025 Due to the epidemic, the company's spring party was not held last year. As a result, this year's spring party was originally scheduled to be cancelled again. Later, it was said that it would be held after repeated consideration, and the final decision was made. In previous years, the year-end parties or spring banquets were held in the northern, central, and southern branches in turn. This time, in order to avoid infection problems in the factory, the boss decided to find a venue for the spring banquet himself. The venue was finally set on February 20th, which was the Shangjie Fresh Seafood Restaurant in Wuqi, Taichung. As usual, it is held at noon so that colleagues can finish their meal and have enough time to return home without being too late. The dishes this time are as rich as in previous years. In the past two years, many industries have been affected by the epidemic and either closed down or their performance declined. Of course, the company's overall performance has also declined. In order to sympathize with the hard work of employees and boost morale, the boss not only overcame the epidemic to hold a spring banquet, but also raised salaries for the entire company again this year to motivate people. When it comes to Spring Festival dinner, everyone is full after half of the dishes are served, and the remaining ingredients are packed up to take home or given to foreign workers to bring back for enjoyment. Everyone was very satisfied with the menu this time. There were all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, such as lobster, giant grass prawns, abalone, sea bass, shark fin, chicken soup, pork knuckle, lamb chops, etc. The most important thing was the lucky draw, which made some people happy while others sad. Those who won the grand prize danced happily, and those who didn’t win received a consolation prize of 3,000 yuan. I have good luck at year-end parties and spring banquets, so I will keep the amount of the fourth prize I won secret. As the saying goes, "the mouth that eats is soft, the hand that takes is short." After having eaten and drunk our fill, we must work hard again. I hope that this year's performance will be better and grow more than last year. (20210220)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 After finishing the company's spring banquet, we prepared to go to today's destination, Dajia Tiezhenshan Sculpture Park. It takes about half an hour to drive from Wuqi to Dajia Tiezhenshan Sculpture Park. The main purpose of this trip is to complete a mission. In recent years, 1:1 car model boxes have appeared in many places in Taiwan, so today I came to Dajia to take a beautiful photo for "Bu Bu". In addition to car model boxes, there are also Jianjing and I really want to "Yu" your model boxes. In addition, there are many sculptures by artists in Anvil Hill Sculpture Park, which also add some artistic atmosphere to the park. There is an observation deck in one corner of the park, from which you can see transportation facilities such as the No. 1 Highway, the No. 3 Highway, and the high-speed rail, and even the Ferris wheel of Lihpao Land. At this time, the park is also full of mountain cherry blossoms, which are very beautiful. Of course, every park must have a play area for children. Some of the amusement facilities here have not been seen elsewhere. I have been to countless parks from south to north, which also made me give a thumbs up to this sculpture park. Not only children love to play, but adults also rush to play. No wonder there are so many tourists in the park. Of course, there are also riders like us who come here specifically to take pictures of the model box and stroll around the park. After completing this task, they continue to move on to the next model box, the Star-Moon Land. (20210220)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 MITSUI OUTLET PARK currently has three branches in Taiwan: Linkou store in New Taipei City, Taichung Port store, and Guiren store in Tainan. In addition, another branch is planned to open next to Fengshan MRT Station in Kaohsiung. Although the Taichung Port store is not located in the metropolitan area and is relatively remote, I came here today specifically for shopping. The large parking lot was full of cars and it was difficult to find a parking space. I searched for a long time before finally finding a parking space. There are many international and domestic brands here. Both out-of-season and current-season products are available at very affordable prices, and there may be promotional activities. This wave of Qingming Festival holidays has attracted many people to come and consume, including me. When I traveled in Japan, I visited several MITSUI OUTLET stores. In addition to killing time, I could also enjoy delicious food and buy some high-quality products. Although it is remote, the crowds of people are still there. This is also our last stop for the Qingming Festival holiday. After eating and drinking, it is time to set off on our journey home. (20210405)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Wuling National Guesthouse is located in Wuling National Forest Recreation Area, Heping District, Taichung City. There are Wuling National Guesthouse, Leisure Farm (Wenkang Hall, Taohua Farm, Farm Japanese Room Area), Shanshui Hall and other accommodation areas in the Wuling Farm area. The accommodation service provides a variety of accommodations for tourists to choose from, including double rooms, triple rooms, quad rooms, and six-person rooms. Every year when the cherry blossom season comes, the rooms are often in short supply. In addition, the dinner buffet is also well-known, especially the fried cabbage is the favorite of tourists. The cabbage grown in the mountainous areas is not only crisp and sweet, but also refreshing and delicious. Ling National Hotel also provides guided tour services, which are divided into North Valley Park Tour and South Valley Park Tour. Chatan Park Itinerary Snow Mountain Route: Depart from Wuling Hotel → Tour Guide along the way → Snow Mountain Trailhead → Wuling Tea House → Wuling Hotel The itinerary of Nangu Park starts from Wuling Hotel → Yingbin Bridge → Bird Watching Trail → Songlin Avenue → Wuling Tea House (the whole journey is on foot, about 2 hours). Depart from the Tourism Service Center → Songlin Avenue → Plum Garden → Outside the Farm Administrative Center (Flower Shop) → Yinian Bridge → Wuling Tea House (the whole journey is on foot, about 2 hours). Wuling National Forest Recreation Area is a popular tourist attraction, but there are only two hotels to choose from in this area, so tourists who want to travel and stay in Wuling National Forest Recreation Area are best to book a hotel in advance, otherwise they may not be able to book a room.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Wuling National Forest Recreation Area is located in the upper reaches of Qijiawan Creek on the Central Cross-Island Highway Yilan Branch Line, at the junction of Heping District, Taichung City and Datong Township, Yilan County, at an altitude of 1,800 meters. Wuling National Forest Recreation Area is surrounded by the "Four Beauties of Wuling", namely Pintian Mountain, Chiyou Mountain, Tao Mountain and Kalaye Mountain. Of course, when you come here, you must not miss the Taoshan Trail. The trail leads to Taoshan Waterfall and Taoshan's main peak, Chiyou Mountain and Pintian Mountain. In addition to waterfalls and forests, the recreation area is also an important habitat for natural ecological plants and animals. In addition to the rich natural landscape, it is also the habitat of the Sakura Landlocked Salmon, which has been successfully conserved in recent years. Come here to enjoy the forest phytoncides bathe in it, and appreciate the changing scenery of the four seasons. Only by experiencing it yourself can you understand the charm of this place.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Fushoushan Farm is known as one of the three major alpine farms in Taiwan, along with Cingjing Farm and Wuling Farm. Fushoushan Farm is located on the back mountain above Lishan, about five kilometers away from Lishan. The farm is famous for growing a variety of fruits and high-quality cold vegetables. Going further up, you will reach the famous Tianchi Lake and Daguan Pavilion. In different seasons, you can enjoy various flowers, including cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, peach blossoms, pear blossoms, apple blossoms, as well as various rare and colorful trees. The most famous thing on the farm is an apple tree full of fruits, which is called the Apple King. A total of 31 varieties of apples have been grafted onto the tree, and there are currently 43 varieties of fruit on the tree. Although this apple king tree is full of fruits, they are for viewing only and cannot be picked at will. The farm is located in a remote area with inconvenient transportation, but tourists who love nature will not hesitate to come here no matter how far away the place is, just to see the beauty of the farm's different scenery in four seasons. (20210815)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Daguan Pavilion is located at the highest point of Fushoushan Farm. Daguan Pavilion is a two-story wooden building with a cross-shaped layout. The first floor has an entrance hall, guard room, atrium, and study room. The second floor has a meeting room and an outdoor balcony. In front of the Daguan Pavilion there is a pond named Tianchi. It is named "Tianchi" because it is located on the top of the mountain and is as high as the sky. Daguan Pavilion is located in a remote area and there are few tourists on weekdays and even holidays, so it is not crowded like a vegetable market. Whether you relax or read and relax here, you will not be disturbed. Although the mountain is shrouded in fog all year round, the buildings themselves are still well maintained. Whenever we come to Wuling Farm for a tour, we will definitely stop by Lishan and the Daguan Pavilion and Tianchi of Fushoushan Farm. Even if it's a long journey, being able to enjoy such beautiful scenery here makes all the hard work worth it. (20210815)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Tianchi Lake is located above Fushoushan Farm at an altitude of 2,580 meters. Because the water in the lake never dries up all year round, it is regarded as a holy place and often attracts Taoist people to make pilgrimages. It has also been on the news several times. Next to the Tianchi Lake is the Daguan Pavilion, which has the overall layout of a Feng Shui treasure land. No wonder these religious people come here to make pilgrimages. It is said, heard, nonsense - Tianchi is a very spiritual place. As long as you come here, circle the Tianchi three times to the left and three times to the right, and then make a wish, your wish will come true soon. I wonder how many tourists who have made wishes have actually had their wishes come true? Regardless of whether Tianchi Lake has spiritual energy or not, as long as we can breathe in the phytoncides in the mountains and forests beside the lake water, I think it will really bring us full of energy after our body, mind and spirit have been cleansed. (20210815)

Located halfway to Fushoushan Farm, the Li Shan Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall is a distinctive building situated on the route from Li Shan to Fushoushan Farm. Established in 1971, the hall primarily showcases the history of the Central Cross-Island Highway development, as well as introducing Atayal cultural artifacts and the region's natural ecology. The exhibition hall is divided into two floors with four display areas. On the first floor, visitors can explore the "History of the Central Cross-Island Highway Development," which documents the hardships of constructing the highway and the heroic deeds associated with it. Another section introduces "Atayal Culture," including Atayal naming traditions, traditional toys, and facial tattoo practices. The second floor features a cultural exhibition area dedicated to the Atayal people residing in the Li Shan region, showcasing traditional architecture, tools, clothing, daily life, hunting experiences, and craftsmanship such as weaving and bamboo work. Additionally, visitors can see ancient items like the mouth harp, a traditional instrument used by Atayal men and women to express affection. If you happen to pass by, take a moment to visit and learn about the history of the Central Cross-Island Highway and the rich culture of the local Atayal people. (20210815)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 If you want to choose a landmark in Lishan, then Lishan Hotel is definitely the best choice. It is located at 82.5K on the Central Cross-Island Highway and has a Chinese palace-style architectural style. Construction began in 1959 and was completed in 1965. It is known as the tallest palace hotel in Taiwan. In the early years, before the collapse of the Central Cross-Island Highway, it was hard to find a room. Later, after the collapse of the Central Cross-Island Highway, business also plummeted like the fruit stall in front of the hotel. Lishan Hotel is listed as one of the three major Chinese palace-style buildings in Taiwan, along with Taipei Grand Hotel and Kaohsiung Grand Hotel. It was once closed but was later reopened to the public after being renovated. This place is also a must-visit place for checking in and taking photos when traveling to Lishan. In addition to the road collapse, the occupancy rate has been more or less affected by the epidemic in the past two years. Lishan Hotel once had a prosperous side. Perhaps when the Central Cross-Island Highway opens to traffic one day, we may see the Lishan Hotel regain its former glory. (20210815)
