    (Translated by Google) Collect the park fee at the toll station in the soil field. The full ticket is $200/person, half of the ticket is $100/person, and another $100/car from the small passenger and small car. If you don’t stop after the toll station, you will have to drive up for about half an hour to arrive at Taiping Villa Parking lot, along the way there is Hatounozawa Hot Springs, Jianqing Nostalgia Trail, a trail where you can see the sea of ​​clouds and a few small attractions (unfortunately, it took time to take a trampoline, so I didn’t stop and walk slowly to watch), Taiping There are cabins for accommodation in the villa (but reservations must be made in advance on holidays, and the charges for large and small rooms are different). There is a cafe restaurant with a view of the sea of ​​clouds in the villa, and there is also a Chinese restaurant (which sells table dishes and also sells lunch for $120/piece ), the biggest selling point of the park is the bouncing car (round-trip ticket, time and number of trains/seats are fixed, no station ticket can not be oversold, tickets must be bought on the spot on the same day, and reservations are not accepted) full ticket $180/person, special ticket $120/person, A one-way journey from Taipingshan Station to Maoxing Station takes about 20 minutes. There are 3 forest trails around Maoxing Station, each of which is only 300-500 meters long. Within 1 hour of staying, all 3 trails can be easily completed. There are many peculiar tree heads and roots left after the giant cypress trees were cut down during the Japanese Occupation era. You can take pictures of them. At the highest point of Taiping Mountain Villa is Zhenan Temple. It was originally a shrine built during the Japanese Occupation Period, but was later converted to worship Zheng Chenggong. If you have time, you can walk up the stairs to take a look. If you drive through the parking lot of Taiping Villa, you can go up Pingyuanlin Road and drive up to Cuifeng Lake. Unfortunately, this time I have to rush to the Jiaoxi Hotel for the check-in time in the afternoon. In addition, there are many dangerous downhill slopes and hairpin bends on the original road back down the mountain, and the mountain road is prone to heavy fog again in the afternoon, and the visibility is very low. If you can’t see clearly, if you drive straight in a straight line, you may rush your head to the opposite lane or even fall off the slope, causing an accident. (If you come to have fun, don’t kill yourself. If you bend, it’s Fujiwara Takumi. !), the road speed limit is only 25KM/HR. In order to prevent excessive brake wear and high temperature failure of continuous braking, it is recommended to enter a low gear (L gear or 2 gear, do not use D gear) to drive at a reasonable speed limit (but not too slow Be the captain of the road and hire someone to complain!), just enjoy the mountain scenery along the road + breathe more fresh air to make money (because the tickets are expensive, and the key point is to go out happily and go home safely!) I have only been here 3 times I have stayed at Taiping Villa once, and the beauty of the four seasons is different, it is worth coming again! (Original) 在土場收費站收入園費,全票$200/人, 半票$100/人, 另收自小客小型車$100/輛, 過收費站後若不中停還要再往上開約半小時才到太平山莊停車場, 中間沿途有鳩之澤溫泉,見晴懷古步道,還有一處可觀賞雲海的步道及幾處小景點(可惜要趕時間搭蹦蹦車,故沒停下來慢慢走慢慢觀賞), 太平山莊有小木屋可供住宿(但假日都須提早訂房, 大小房型收費不同),山莊中有一間景觀咖啡簡餐廳可觀賞雲海, 另有一間中餐廳(有賣桌菜, 也有賣便當$120/個), 園區最大賣點的蹦蹦車(來回票,時間車次/座位數都固定,沒站票也不能超賣,須當天現場買票不接受預定)全票$180/人, 優待票$120/人, 從太平山站到茂興站單程約20分鐘,在茂興站週圍有3條森林步道, 每條都只300-500公尺, 停留的1小時內可3條全數輕鬆走完,享受充滿芬多精的森林浴, 步道內有許多日治時代砍伐巨型檜木後留下的型狀奇特的樹頭樹根, 可拍照留念。太平山莊的最高點有一處鎮安宮, 原本是日治時代建立的神社, 後改建祀奉鄭成功, 等搭蹦蹦車若有時間可沿著階梯走上來看看。若開車經太平山莊停車場可再沿著平元林道再往上開到翠峰湖, 可惜這次要趕下午赴礁溪飯店泡湯的入住時間, 無法前往,真是殘念!另, 原路回程下山的道路險降坡及髮夾彎很多, 且午後山路又易再起濃霧,能見度很低, 若車速太快,又剛好遇到雨天或霧大, 道路濕滑,過彎時若看不清楚, 當成直線直開過去就可能會衝過頭到對向車道甚至衝落邊坡出事故(來玩樂不要來玩命,有彎過去是藤原拓海, 彎不過去變成用命填海就慘了!),道路速限只25KM/HR,為防煞車過度磨耗及連續煞車高溫失靈, 建議打入低速檔(L檔或2檔,勿用D檔)在合理速限開(但也不要慢到當路隊長僱人怨!), 就當沿路欣賞山景+多吸點新鮮空氣撈本好了(因門票貴,且重點是要快快樂樂出門, 平平安安回家!)來過3次只住過1次太平山莊,四季感受的美感不同,值得再來!

    It is one of the popular tourist mountains in the Yilan, Taiwan. It offers one of the most breathtaking views in spring, winter season especially. It folds with every nature gift that can beat your heart with love and excitement. It is usually crowded and lodges need to be booked in reserve. It is well-connected to public transportation. Recommended to stay at least one night here.

    This is a marvelous, wonderful and peaceful National recreation area. It might a bit noisy with a lot of tourists around but the nature area is overwhelming. The charming historical forest train takes you to another mysterious forest which is another peak of the trip. There are many footpaths in the whole area which you shall take two or three days to visit here. Just simply love it.

    The drive up took a while but the view is awesome up here. We got here at around 9am and managed to buy tickets for the train for 11:30am. The hike on the other side of the mountain was easy. Our 4 and 6 year olds were able to walk the two trails with us and we took many photos. Beat to come up here in the morning period because the afternoon does get rainy.

    There is only one morning public bus to Taipingshan, and fix timing to follow the same bus back, so we cannot afford to miss the timing. The bus schedule sort of restricted our choices of activities there. There is a small convenient store where you can buy instant noodles. Free flow of hot water to make yourself tea if you have your own cup and teabag. However, we didn’t manage to walk any trail bec we met the unexpected winter cold snap - we were freezing cold and there wasn’t any clear view to admire too. We decided to hitch a ride down to the hot spring since our bus only leaves 4 hours later but it wasn’t easy. After several attempt for at least half an hour, we finally hopped in a car to jiuzhizhe hot spring which is a must-go if you go Taipingshan. We just didn’t manage to go to Taipingshan at the right weather that day.

    (Translated by Google) The view of the window will give you a panoramic view of the sea of ​​clouds. The fresh air makes you feel very comfortable. Especially when you walk through the forest, the dialogue with nature is relaxing. (Original) 窗景就將雲海美景盡收眼底,空氣新鮮讓人感覺非常舒暢,尤其漫步林間時與自然的對話令人感到放鬆,下次絕對還要再到訪~

    I went to this place for travel on August 21, 2021. I still remember that the air was so crisp, and the view was magnificent. I enjoyed the moment when I took a stroll in the mountains. If you went to this place, I recommended that you have better indulge yourself in nature. You will find that everything is wonderful.

    Autumn in Taipingshan In my search for an autumn experience in Taiwan, google led me to book a tour in Taipingshan. Nestled among the highlands of Yilan, Taipingshan offers a nature trip to Taiwan tourists who wanted an escape from the busy streets of Taipei. A tour booked through klook allows tourists to experience the maple trees along the stairs of Taipingshan Recreational Area. In autumn, particularly the first week of November, the autumn leaves are in full red. However, tourists should manage their expectations because there are not a lot of maple trees in the recreational area. Thus, taking pictures might be challenging. To experience the Taipingshan spirit in full, it is highly recommended for toursits to book at least two to three days. The bongbong train was quite a spectable, unfortunately we were not able to book a ticket because of time constraints. A trail to the cypress forest is 1 hour away from the recreational area. The Recreational Area has all the basic facilities such as lodging, convenient stores, and restaurants. It also has quite a number of instagramable spots for the photographers at heart. Near the Reacreational Area is the Jiancing Historic Trail. The trail was used originally to transport logs. Now, the abandoned trian tracks offers interesting experience for tourists. Aside from the trakcs, the trail also has a number of metal and concrete bridges, as well as a rope bridge. A gigantic tree can aslo be found along the way. Jiancing Trail is mostly covered in fog, thus, tourists are encouraged to wear their light parkas. Overall, Taipingshan is a recommended destination to experience Taiwan Autumn.

    Fairyland literally. Very beautiful and out of this world. Some areas accessible to tourists are without railings though, so young kids should be carefully watched.

  • 4/5 Ni Made Putri I. 3 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    I went there this afternoon (24/01/24), the temperature was around 0°-2°. It was snow time! The ticket was affordable, even students can get a discount! It was also not that hard to reach this recreational area from Taipei, just take a bus to Luodong Transfer Station and get the bus ticket there. You can even go there by Taxi from Luodong, even if it will be more expensive but worth it! The view was amazing! But, I think the public facility needs to be more maintained (toilet)

    (Translated by Google) Jianqinghuaigu Trail is the old timber transportation railway. The topography and landform are similar to Alishan Mianyue Line. It is currently open 0.9 kilometers which is 1/10 of Mianyue Line. Due to the low difficulty, it is suitable for the whole family to go out. There are standing signs along the way to introduce the landscape, vegetation and common local animals, suitable for ecological education. The current water level of Cuifeng Lake is low, and the trails around the lake are less sheltered, so you need to pay attention to sun protection (Original) 見晴懷古步道是昔日的運材鐵路 地形地貌與阿里山眠月線相似,目前開放0.9公里是眠月線的1/10 由於難度低 適合全家踏青 假日人潮多 沿途有立牌介紹景觀、植被與當地常見動物,適合做生態教育。 翠峰湖目前水位低,環湖步道遮蔽少,需要注意防曬

If you want to climb the mountain, there are also super There are many hiking trails to walk, the elderly and children can get the nourishment of the magnificent mountain scenery here!

    If you’re looking for a bundle of different easy hiking trails that range from 1km to 4km, this is the right place. The whole area is nice and neat with spectacular mountain views. It preserves all kinds of original plants and wildlife where you could find along the trails. It’s easy to jump from one trail to another so you probably can spend all day here. There’s a hot spring near by the grand entrance where you can boil eggs and corns if you’re hungry after hiking. I recommend this natural spot if you visit Yilan and have enough time to spend.
