Besides its recreation area, Ginko Forest is a major enjoyable attraction.
Located on Dalunshan, Ginko Forest features breathtaking landscape and family-friendly hiking trails.
▲銀杏森林 |Ginko Forest (Courtesy of @yung_ting/Instagram)步行於雲霧縈繞的銀杏林和茶園中,整個人不自覺地放鬆了起來,彷彿踏入黃澄澄的仙境中。走累了也能到餐廳品嘗特有的銀杏茶及養生小火鍋,非常推薦!
Strolling through the forest and tea plantations enveloped in fog and cloud, you would unconsciously transform into a state of relaxation as if you’ve entered a yellow fairyland.
There is also a restaurant serving fresh Gingko tea and a healthy hot pot to satiate your hunger after the hike.

When it comes to Checheng, Nantou, “STEAM “is a must-visit spot that has more than 50 years of history located nearby the timber-pond.
The Japanese-style wooden building accompanied by misty mountains and sunlight falling on the pond, STEAM is on a par with the well-known “Kinkaku-ji Temple” in Japan.
