Visitors should bring layered clothing and prepare for sudden afternoon fog, particularly when navigating the winding mountain roads. The area is accessible via the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle from Taichung High Speed Rail Station, though renting a vehicle provides greater flexibility for reaching dispersed natural sites.

Nantou Lugu's new family attraction, the Luzhi Valley Ecological Landscape Park, is now open! This 5,000-ping (approximately 1,000 square feet) landscaped park offers expansive mountain and forest views, stunning sunsets, and a relaxing atmosphere.

Every step into Luzhi Valley is a profound dialogue with the ecosystem, and every deep breath feels like a pure gift from the earth.

The capybaras, which have become incredibly popular in recent years, can also be spotted here! These gentle and friendly capybaras are often found lazily soaking in the water or sprawled on the ground, making their plump bodies incredibly tempting to touch.

Valais Blacknose sheep: Native to the Swiss Alps, the Valais Blacknose sheep, with their fluffy black and white fur, are considered one of the cutest sheep in the world. Their adorable appearance often attracts tourists, especially children who love taking photos with them.
