— Attractions Introduction —

• Nanzhuang Old Street has a unique lifestyle, as well as simple and beautiful natural landscapes. When you visit, you will find beautiful scenery everywhere. Whether it is the Osmanthus Alley without osmanthus, the simple wooden Nanzhuang Post Office, the Nanzhuang Theater transformed into an exhibition hall and restaurant, the retro-style Nanzhuang Elementary School, or the Fuxing Cloth Shop and the Old Jinlong Hotel, which are full of Japanese style and specialize in selling kimonos, they are all popular attractions for tourists. When you come to Nanzhuang, you must walk the famous "Nogizaki" staircase trail. The short staircase in front of the Nanzhuang Post Office took three years to build. You can imagine the inconvenient transportation and hard life of our ancestors. The "washing pit" at the end of the old street is also called "Shui Biantou". This is where local residents laid more than ten stone slabs on the irrigation canal. The canal is a place for Nanzhuang women to wash clothes, wash dishes and chat, while chatting and exchanging life information. There are also local snacks along the way, including osmanthus wine, pig cage cake, dog ginger rice dumpling, osmanthus plum, pounded tea, braised tofu, etc., which will leave tourists wanting more.
  
  
• Penglai River Fish Protection Trail Penglai River is the first river in Miaoli County to put fish protection into practice. Due to the success of river protection, it has attracted many tourists every holiday in recent years. The river protection trail is about 2.4 kilometers long and is a circular trail. Starting from the Yong'an Suspension Bridge in the north, after passing through the Changtan River, you can follow the signs to go back to the starting point. At present, Penglai River is still in the stage of ecological restoration and environmental protection. Please slow down when you come to Penglai River. You can use your camera to take pictures of the shining fish in the river while walking and stopping. Don't underestimate the appearance of the bitter flower, horse mouth fish, shrimp goby and other river fish that are not afraid of people swimming freely in the river. This is the result of a lot of painstaking efforts! You can explore the unique natural ecology of Penglai Creek by following the trail. The sight of bees and butterflies flying among the flowers is very cute. If you happen to come across the tung blossom season, the scenery of fallen tung trees flying in the mountains and forests will definitely leave you with a deep impression. But in addition to leaving footprints along the way, please take away the dirt and garbage. The efforts of the patrol team and local residents to protect the creek are very valuable and hard work!
  
  
• Xiangtian Lake is located in Donghe Village, Nanzhuang Township, Miaoli County. It is also called "Yangtian Lake". It is 738 meters above sea level. Due to its high terrain, it is often filled with fog and white clouds in winter and spring, like a fairyland on earth. The basin is full of terraces, and the surrounding fir forests, miscellaneous trees, and bamboos are full of greenery. You can stroll along the circular trail of Xiangtian Lake. Xiangtian Lake has distinct seasons. Various flowers and ecosystems are running wild in nature. Mountain cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, maple leaves, and fir forests form an excellent painting. You can breathe the fresh air on the mountain and overlook the natural beauty, leaving beautiful memories for your trip to Nanzhuang. The biennial dwarf spirit festival, which the Saisiyat people call "Basidaai", is held in the tenth month of the lunar calendar. A small festival is held every two years, and a large festival is held every ten years. At this time, the tribesmen from other places will rush back to celebrate the festival with the most pious heart.
