Hidden deep inside Wuling Farm, the hymn of the forest composed with red maples, pine forest, waterfalls, and Taiwan Landlocked Masu Salmon, captures the most fascinating image of Wuling National Forest Recreation Area.
This is the third national forest recreational area in Taiwan, and about a 4-hour drive from Taipei. The elevation is approximately 1,800 meters. Due to the cold air descending from the high mountains, the temperature here is colder than one might think. The most representative scenic spot is perhaps the magnificent “Taoshan Waterfall” at the end of the Taoshan Trail, veiled behind the astonishing mist created by the fall.
Taoshan Trail is also the entry point to Taoshan and Chihyoushan, two of the 100 Peaks of Taiwan. The Taiwan Red Pines spread along the trail make a brilliant scenic tour. The rich ecology is also one of the main features: Formosan Muntjac, Taiwan macaque, Mikado Pheasant, Swinhoe’s Pheasant and Vinaceous Rosefinch are common dwellers here. Standing and looking down from the Wuling Suspension Bridge, you’ll also be able to see live national treasures in the Cijiawan River, the Taiwan Landlocked Masu Salmon! The Taiwan Red Maple and Green Maple in autumn, as well as cherry blossoms in spring, are the splendid seasonal wonders of Wuling National Forest Recreation Area that one should not miss when visiting Wuling!
