[2025 Hsinchu County Attraction] Travel Guide for Smangus (Updated Mar)

The uniqueness of Simakusi: This remote tribe was the last to receive electricity in Taiwan and practiced cooperative symbiosis. It also has the largest sacred red cypress tree, which has become their most famous legend. It takes an extra 2 hours to drive up the mountain from the foot of the mountain in Jianshi Township, Hsinchu. I was super excited when I saw the Simakus sign. I felt relaxed in the tribal area and the sky was very comfortable when I looked out at the mountains and forests. We started our journey to the Shenmu Group trail entrance. This round trip will take at least 4 hours, so you must train your legs well before going! The mountain road along the way is flat and easy to walk. Walking under the shade of the trees, you don't feel too hot or too sunny. It's very comfortable. It took a lot of time just to take pictures. When we arrived at the sacred tree area, we found out that the tribesmen gave each sacred tree a name, which is very cute. There are waterfalls in Simakus. The mysterious valley can be visited, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time to go there. If you go up the mountain during the cherry blossom season, you can see the cherry blossom forest all over the mountain, which is also one of Simakus's famous features. Itinerary suggestion: It is better to stay for 2 days and 1 night. For a one-day tour, you should pay attention to the time of going down the mountain, because the mountain is prone to fog and poor visibility, and there will be restrictions. So remember to go down the mountain before the restrictions. There are fewer supplies on the mountain and the prices are relatively higher. You can prepare boiled water, food, light clothes to change, and towels to wipe sweat, which will be easier. This trip is really worth it. I recommend it to everyone. It's also nice to take a leisurely walk~ #LocalTour #familytravel #travel #Hsinchu #HikingFun

Simakusi Tribe in Hsinchu - Cherry Blossom Valley, Gravel Slope, Bald Cypress After Simakusi reaches 2k, you will first pass the gravel slope. This is a section prone to falling rocks, so you must pass it quickly. While walking quickly, you still have to pay attention to your steps. There are cliffs next to it😱 Soon after passing it, you will reach the Cherry Blossom Valley. There are special ropes here, so that the cherry blossoms on both sides of the trail grow alternately. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, you can see a beautiful pink tunnel. Then there is the Bald Cypress Tunnel, which is also very charming🥰 There is a slow rise until 3k Location: H983+XXW Jianshi Township Hsinchu County #Cherry Blossom #Bald Cypress #Simakusi #Tribe #Hsinchu #Jianshi

#winHong Kong air tickets Simacus has always been one of the wonderlands I want to visit. This time I was finally able to go as I wished I am very looking forward to it and happy Simacus is located in the deep mountains of Hsinchu County This place is really remote. It takes about 2.5 hours to drive there from Hsinchu city Moreover, the road along is very desolate and the road is very difficult to drive. Knowing how to drive often requires certain skills People who want to come here must be mentally prepared But after this trip, I really fell in love with this place.
