Forest Amusement Park Series PART6️⃣

For me, the Great Snow Mountain is not just a "high mountain trail" It is a forest experience with four seasons of spectacular scenery! Drive all the way up the Great Snow Mountain Forest Trail from Dongshi When the forest changes from broad-leaved forest to dense coniferous forest The cool air and phytoncides instantly surround you Walking into the forest is like walking into a natural forest bath🥰 Go up the mountain in the morning, walk into the Xiaoshenmu Trail, and face the phytoncides The sacred trees under the wooden plank tower into the clouds; shush~listen, that's the imperial pheasant singing With the pink cherry blossoms outside the tourist service center, the sea of ​​clouds rolls at the top of the forest It feels like walking into a snowy fairy tale. Choose the Snow Mountain Shenmu Trail to explore the 1,400-year-old giant tree The trunk of the red cypress is thicker than a person, and standing under the tree, the whole person is generously surrounded by nature In the afternoon, you can go to the Yakou Observation Deck and Shaolai Mountain for a walk, with a super wide view Occasionally, you can also see Yushan from a distance. I really felt like I was in the most natural outdoor SPA. I still remember trying to look up at the starry sky at night. After the sea of ​​clouds dissipated, it was the vast sea of ​​​​the Milky Way. There were also flying squirrels as supporting roles. When I got up early the next morning, I could see the group of Shenmu trees shrouded in mist from the balcony, as if in a dream. ☁️The sea of ​​clouds, cherry blossoms and snow scenes interweave Every year from October to March, the sea of ​​clouds appears frequently, and the morning and evening are the most spectacular; in spring, from February to March, cherry blossoms bloom, and pink cherry blossoms and the sea of ​​clouds dance together into a fairyland ; even occasionally welcome snow scenes, the snow is covered next to the Shenmu, like a fairyland. 🌳Forest bathing + Shenmu adventure 👉🏻Small Shenmu Trail (about 1km/40 minutes): a gentle wooden plank road, suitable for family walking   👉🏻Xueshan Shenmu Trail (about 2km/1 hour round trip): Visit the 1,400-year-old giant tree, the 50m-high red cypress is shocking . 🌄Viewing platform + multiple trail options 👉🏻Yakou Observation Deck: less than 1km, with a wide view, you can see the snow-capped mountains and Guguan peaks in the distance . 👉🏻Shaolai Mountain and Yuanzui Mountain Trails: Challenging routes, suitable for climbers; the circular trail connects to Xiaoxue Mountain, and the 2-4 hour itinerary has a variety of options . 👉🏻Forest Bathing Trail (Horse Trail): 3km, about 1 hour and 10 minutes, in-depth experience of coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests . 🐦 Rich ecology, a holy place for stargazing The area is home to imperial pheasants, blue-bellied pheasants, mountain muntjacs, long-haired goats, white-faced flying squirrels, and Taiwan macaques, and you may encounter natural stars at any time.
