Cose da fare a Contea di Nantou

The itinerary deserves a perfect score, and first, I'd like to express my gratitude to our driver and guide, Brother Ken! Brother Ken arrived very early to pick us up and took thoughtful care of everyone. Our first stop was Cingjing Farm. The journey wasn't short, and the mountain roads were winding, making me wonder if it would be boring, but it wasn't at all. Brother Ken started sharing many interesting local stories even before we began ascending the mountain, which was incredibly entertaining. He would share details about every place we passed. On the way up, we saw trucks transporting cabbages down from the high mountains, and we got a sense of the indigenous people's way of life, culture, and art. Even the place names we passed had their own history. Thanks to Brother Ken, I learned so much about Nantou. The mountains in Nantou are truly beautiful. Stepping into the vast mountains, I truly understood what it means to see layers of green peaks. The mountains seemed endless. Occasionally, we'd pass by cliffs, and in the distance, we could see riverbeds. It was the dry season, so they looked like shallow, scratch-like marks, with a few shimmering, wide, thin mirrors reflecting on them. The scenery was captivating. Upon arriving at the farm, the weather was perfect. Time seemed to stand still under the blue sky and white clouds, and we gradually felt the temperature becoming cooler. Sheep trotted on the slopes, creating little 'flowers' on the lush green grass. The walking path was built along the mountain, and a few horses grazed in the flat area below. In the distance, the continuous mountain ranges were hazy, only their general outlines remaining, blending into the azure sky. We walked along the path to the exit, where Brother Ken picked us up for lunch before taking us to our second destination, Sun Moon Lake. Getting out of the car, I was immediately drawn to the surface of Sun Moon Lake. It was more expansive than I imagined, with an emerald-like surface that seemed bottomless. Just then, fragmented sunlight fell upon it, creating shimmering ripples, like light, thin silk stretching and unfurling in the wind. Taking a boat tour of the lake was exhilarating. The breeze was refreshing, reducing some of the early summer heat. Brother Ken continued to provide explanations, deepening our impression of Sun Moon Lake. The boat stopped at several piers, and in the shallow waters near the shore, we could faintly see small fish. I guessed the fish were as happy as I was. During our free time, we walked to the Yuchi Township Farmers' Association's Ita Thao branch and bought Ruby Black Tea. It felt like a must-do to bring back some black tea from Sun Moon Lake. The Assam milk tea we bought from a roadside shop was also delicious. On the boat ride back, we could see the cable cars, adding to the relaxed atmosphere. Sun Moon Lake at sunset, with its water becoming deeper and more profound, gently smoothed away all worries. Even though we were reluctant to leave, it was time to head back. Brother Ken drove us back, again carefully reminding us to gather our personal belongings. On the way back, we watched the sun set, and the fields along the highway turned golden. The lingering warmth of the sun gradually faded, and our phone galleries filled with more and more photos. I thought to myself how truly happy this day had been, and it had passed by so quickly. As night fell, we finally returned to Taichung, and Brother Ken patiently dropped us off at our respective accommodations, bidding us farewell. I am so grateful to Brother Ken and to this one-day tour. It felt like a wonderfully beautiful dream. I love the mountains and waters of Nantou, and perhaps if I ever feel anxious again, looking back at this trip, recalling those interesting little stories, those adorable little sheep, and those lovely ripples, will bring me peace. I truly hope to have the chance to visit again!

Facilità nel localizzare il punto d'incontro e, sebbene non sia prevista una guida turistica in questo tour di un giorno, è molto autosufficiente. Il tour al Lago del Sole e della Luna è piacevole con molte scelte alimentari. Ma per coloro che desiderano esplorare l'isola in funivia, traghetto o autobus, questo tour di mezza giornata potrebbe non essere sufficiente. L'altra mezza giornata è dedicata alla visita di una fabbrica di cioccolato, una sosta per ciambelle in un caffè e una visita al Paper Dome.

It's very good! 👍🏻 You can observe animals up close, and there are even interactive experiences. It's different from a typical zoo; it's very clean and doesn't have much odor. The park isn't too big for walking, but for families with small children, we recommend bringing a stroller or renting a park vehicle. Also, remember to bring water and sunscreen if the weather is hot.

Nel giardino di Mengmeng ci sono molti animali che si possono vedere da vicino, è molto divertente! È come un piccolo zoo di animali selvatici, con suricati, capre, capibara, cervi sika, anatre, cigni neri, volpi, bradipi, tartarughe giganti, aquile e altro ancora. Con il biglietto d'ingresso si possono riscattare uova al tè e gelatine, e se commentiamo + seguiamo, possiamo anche riscattare un portachiavi di capibara! Che felicità! 😃

Ottima esperienza. Se potete, fate un'escursione a piedi o in bicicletta fino al tempio (prima tappa). Lo scenario lì è fantastico. Ci sono molte bancarelle di cibo a Ita-Thao. La funivia è fantastica e il viaggio di andata e ritorno dura circa 20 minuti. I finestrini sono aperti, quindi si può sentire l'aria fresca.

Acquistare i biglietti tramite Klook ha lo stesso prezzo dell'acquisto in loco, ma almeno non devi fare la fila per comprare i biglietti. All'ingresso, basta trovare il personale per scansionare il codice QR del voucher, super comodo! Includono anche un omaggio di 4 bustine di tè You Shan Tea, ma bisogna andare appositamente al You Shan Tea Culture Center per riscattarle, non si ricevono all'ingresso del parco.

Ho chiesto agli hotel e alle compagnie di noleggio auto, e il prezzo dei biglietti per il villaggio culturale aborigeno di Formosa (Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village) è piuttosto fisso, quindi il prezzo di Klook è davvero conveniente, ma ricordatevi di ritirare il ciondolo, io l'ho dimenticato 😭😭. Il Lago del Sole e della Luna è davvero bellissimo, andare in bicicletta dovrebbe essere molto piacevole e divertente, ma a causa del tempo limitato ho scelto di prendere la barca. Ci sono tre moli dove si può salire e scendere, i moli sono semplici e in pratica non ci si può perdere, ma bisogna fare attenzione agli orari di partenza delle barche. La funivia del Lago del Sole e della Luna può portare direttamente al villaggio culturale aborigeno di Formosa, ma nei giorni feriali è aperta dalle 10:30 alle 16:00, il che ridurrebbe il tempo a disposizione per il parco divertimenti. Tuttavia, scendendo dalla funivia si può visitare il parco dall'alto verso il basso, il che è più facile in discesa. Dopo aver visitato i giardini, si può prendere la funivia del villaggio culturale aborigeno di Formosa e poi la funivia del Lago del Sole e della Luna per tornare a casa, il che è perfetto. L'ambiente del villaggio culturale aborigeno di Formosa è eccellente, con ampi spazi e tanta energia verde. Oltre alle attrazioni e ai bellissimi giardini, ci sono anche varie esperienze di attività aborigene. La cosa più rara è che il personale ama il proprio lavoro, presenta le attività con grande entusiasmo e invita attivamente i visitatori a provarle. Spero di tornare la prossima stagione dei ciliegi in fiore!

enjoyable experience with the sheep. super long trail via the sky bridge to swiss garden, note that its not exactly connected and need to walk another 600m down slope. otherwise all good with green green land. swiss garden is small and kid friendly

Purchasing tickets is convenient; you can buy and use them immediately. The park isn't large, but the buildings are grand and exquisite. The courtyard features many sculptures perfect for photos, and the plants are meticulously maintained. There are also adorable pets you can interact with, making it an ideal spot for adults and children to relax, enjoy coffee, and have snacks on holidays.
