• Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area is located in Datong Township, Yilan County. It is known as the "paradise on earth". It covers an area of ​​12,631 hectares and is nearly 2,000 meters above sea level. It is under the management of the Luodong Forest District Management Office. The entire area includes the Nanhu Dashan Mountain Range, Sanxingshan Mountain Range, and Dabajian Mountain Branch. The park is famous for its preserved original forests including red cypress, cypress, and hemlock. It was once listed as one of the three major forests in Taiwan along with Alishan and Baxianshan. After the government ended the logging business in 1982, it was transformed into the Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area. Due to the great difference in altitude and the subtropical to frigid climate, each forest belt has a variety of tree species and beautiful materials. The rich forest landscape includes subtropical, warm temperate and cold temperate cypress virgin forests, hot springs, Cryptomeria plantations, cypress plantations, waterfalls, lakes, etc.; the Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area has different landscapes in each season. It is colorful when the flowers bloom in spring, and there are also changing scenes of red leaf plants in the four seasons. In autumn, the fiery red maple trees bring bright colors to Taipingshan. In addition, mountain cherry blossoms, plums, apricots, Taipingshan white cherry blossoms, etc. also show different styles with the seasons.
  
  
• Taipingshan Villa Taipingshan Villa was the administrative center of the Taipingshan Forest Farm in the past. It is now the most important accommodation and recreation base and administrative center in the forest recreation area. You can choose to go to the famous [Forest Bumper Car] in Taiwan. The Bumper Car in Taipingshan was mainly used to transport logs in the past. Its real name is "Mountain Timber Transport Track Car"; or go to the [Cypress Original Forest Trail] located behind Taipingshan Villa. It is the most accessible natural original cypress forest in Taiwan. Therefore, the 400-step central staircase of Taipingshan Villa has become the only way to walk on the trail. Both sides are planted with purple-leaf maples that turn red all year round. Climb up the steps from the Red Leaf Trail. The end of the steps is the entrance to the trail. The trail is 0.6 kilometers long and takes 1 hour to walk.
  
  
• Jianqing Nostalgic Trail/Cloud Sea View is as its name suggests. When the rain stops for a long time, you can see the Lanyang Plain and the majestic Shengling Line in the distance. There is often a magnificent and poetic sea of ​​clouds in the afternoon. Sometimes, after being trapped in the white fog for a long time, you will feel a desire to see the sun. This is the origin of the place name "Jianqing".
  
  
• Jiuzhize Hot Spring Jiuzhize, formerly known as Shaoshui, means geothermal hot spring. During the Japanese colonial period, Japanese loggers built hot spring bathhouses here, and bathing became a rare pleasure in the loggers' life; the Japanese called it "Jiuzhi Hot Spring", and in 1969 it was renamed "Renze Hot Spring", and in 2006 it was restored to its original name "Jiuzhize". Its source is derived from geothermal heat at a depth of 2,200 meters. The spring temperature is about 140 degrees Celsius, and the bathing area is adjusted to a suitable temperature of 38-42 degrees Celsius. The spring is clear, colorless and odorless, and feels smooth after washing. It is a weakly alkaline sodium bicarbonate mixed spring that can relax muscles and bones, beautify the skin, and is known as the "Beauty Soup". In order to provide tourists with different bathing experiences, the open bathing facilities include an open-air SPA pool, a male and female nude bath area, and a family wild bath area. Among them, the open-air SPA pool is a creative stone bath made by drilling holes in the huge stream stones brought by the typhoon. The male and female nude bathing areas and the family wild bathing area allow visitors to enjoy the phytoncides and warm spring water in the broad-leaved forest in the green valley. In addition, there are two egg-boiling tanks in this area, which emit hot spring water all year round for visitors to DIY boil eggs. The hot spring eggs are fragrant, soft and tender, and exude a unique hot spring fragrance, which is also a great enjoyment after taking a bath!
