[Lala Mountain Forest Park] Enter the mysterious land of Shenmu in the mist

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Taoyuan Did you know that Taiwan also has a secret forest that looks like a fairy tale world? This time we came to the Lala Mountain Forest Park in Fuxing District, Taoyuan. Not only is the air here fresh and the forest is therapeutic, but it also hides a group of spectacular "millennium sacred trees", as if entering a natural mysterious palace. [Transportation tips] Whether you drive or take public transportation, the journey to Lala Mountain is not short, but once you arrive, it is definitely worth it! It takes about 2 hours to drive from Taoyuan city. It is recommended to arrange a day trip or stay overnight nearby to enjoy the tranquility of the mountains and forests. ⸻ 【See the park’s features at once】 1. Millennium Sacred Trees The most famous attraction in Lala Mountain is the Sacred Trees Trail, which is about 3 kilometers long and has more than 20 spectacular sacred red cypress trees, ranging in age from 500 to 3,000 years old! These giant trees are towering into the clouds, and each one is like a guardian of nature. Just standing under a tree makes people unconsciously lighten their steps, slow down their breathing, and feel a sense of tranquility. 2. Comfortable walking trails The park's trails are very well planned, and most sections are wooden plank roads, which are smooth and easy to walk on, and can be easily challenged by elders or children. But don't forget to wear comfortable walking shoes, and bring water and simple mosquito repellent. 3. A fairyland feeling surrounded by clouds and mist Because of the high terrain, there is often mist in the morning or afternoon. Sometimes the whole forest seems to be surrounded by a veil, which is so beautiful that it takes your breath away. The sunlight shining through the mist, coupled with the scent of red cypress, surrounds your entire senses in nature, which is full of healing power.
