About Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area
March to May offers wildflower blooms and comfortable temperatures, while September to November provides crisp air and stunning autumn foliage. Early mornings throughout the year deliver the most magical misty conditions.
Plan 3-4 hours for the main boardwalk trail, or dedicate a full day to combine hiking with hot spring relaxation and nearby cultural sites.
Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area is situated at an elevation of approximately 2,000 meters, where temperatures remain significantly lower than in the lowlands throughout the year. Visitors should prepare for frequent fog and mist, which often affect visibility on the winding mountain roads leading to the site. The area operates with daily capacity limits, and access to specific trails may be restricted during periods of heavy rainfall or maintenance.
Taiping Mountain was formerly known as "Mian Nao", which means "lush and green" in the Atayal language. People can stroll in the primeval forest behind Zhen'an Temple and let their thoughts soar to the past when the mountain was covered with giant trees.
Drive along the Cuifeng Forest Trail, where you can often see animals such as Taiwan macaques and emperor pheasants. The end point is Taiwan's largest alpine lake: Cuifeng Lake, which is 1,840 meters above sea level. On the opposite bank is the home of the national treasure Taiwan beech. In autumn, you can enjoy the golden mountains along the 4-kilometer trail.
The Jiuzhize Hot Spring, not far from the toll station, is a well-known carbonated spring and is also a major feature of this place. Taipingshan Forest Recreation Area is the first choice for you who love nature when visiting Yilan.
