[2025 Taoyuan Attraction] Travel Guide for Lala Shan National Forest Recreation Area (Updated Jul)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Lala Mountain, also known as Daguan Mountain, is located at the junction of Fuxing District, Taoyuan City and Wulai District, New Taipei City, in the area of ​​Baling on the Northern Cross-Island Highway, with an altitude of 2,031 meters. In 1973, a group of professors from the Chinese Culture University discovered a group of sacred trees here. Lala Mountain also has the largest red cypress forest area in Taiwan. There are 24 giant red cypress trees in Shenmu District, ranging from the youngest being 500 years old to the oldest being 1,495 years old. The entire sacred tree group can be visited in about two hours by walking in the direction indicated. Fuxing District is also the hometown of peaches. Every July and August when peaches are in season, it always attracts many tourists to buy them and go up the mountain to see the sacred trees, often making the roads here jam-packed with people.

Last year, I became crazy about camping. Now I am already a camping veteran⛺️ This Taman Light located in Lala Mountain is highly recommended to you. In addition to the large space, the distance between each tent is not crowded. You can see the sea of ​​clouds on every side, which is great! The scenery after dusk particularly attracted me, the pink and blue sky, The clouds gradually appeared before my eyes, completely different from the blue sky and white clouds during the day. It's also very artistic to take pictures, it feels like being in the desert🏜️ It feels like a cowboy, haha! The road to Lala Mountain is not difficult to drive. The road is quite flat, so you can get there by driving slowly. Recommended to friends who want to camp!

📝 Every year from February to March, it's a great place to view cherry blossoms during the cherry blossom season. Located in Lala Mountain, Taoyuan, Taiwan, many places on Lala Mountain have blooming cherry blossoms. Today, I'm sharing a great spot for taking photos and viewing cherry blossoms, which is also a guesthouse where you can stay: 'Lala Mountain Maple Villa'. Inside the villa, there's a beautiful cherry blossom cabin, and the alley entrance is lined with cherry blossoms on both sides, forming a stunning cherry blossom tunnel that's perfect for photos. If you love cherry blossoms, you should definitely visit! 📍 No. 17, Lane 210, Zhongxin Road, Fuxing District, Taoyuan City (Located near En'ai Farm, you can take photos outside or stay at the guesthouse) 🚗 You need to drive or hire a car to get there (public transportation is not available).

The Enai Farm camping area in Lala Mountain National Park is also a mountain scenery venue that I have visited many times! Sometimes when I see the sea of ​​clouds and the small houses on the mountainside in the early morning, I always feel that this is how life is meant to be!

This is at the junction of Taoyuan County and New Taipei City, closer to Taoyuan City. You can see a lot of red cypress trees. They are very old and can be called sacred trees. The age ranges from 500 to 3,000 years old. In front of the 3,000-year-old sacred tree, the 500-year-old is basically just a child. The wonders of nature can be seen here. It is a magical experience to be able to watch such old trees up close. #climber

The Baling Tower is built on a high ground at an altitude of 1,314 meters. As the name suggests, it means love "for a lifetime." The original site of the Baling Iron Tower is actually the remains of the heavily guarded Malun Fort on Baling Mountain during the Japanese occupation period. Many Atayal people fought against the Japanese in this area. Later, the Fuxing District Office invested NT$13 million to revitalize the fort ruins and built a new landmark, the Baling Tower, which symbolizes diligence and freedom. The red iron tower is modeled after the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. The diamond-shaped design on the tower symbolizes the protection of the eyes of the Atayal ancestors. The tower is about 10 stories high and is decorated with colorful LED lights. Although the construction of the Baling Tower was once controversial, the tower is indeed dazzling when it shines under the night sky. Whether it is beautiful or ugly, abrupt or redundant, it is up to you to come to Lala Mountain and experience it with your own eyes.

Around February to March every year is the cherry blossom viewing season in Taiwan, and people are looking forward to the scene of cherry blossoms blooming all over the mountains and valleys. Following the winding and narrow mountain road into Lala Mountain, we finally arrived at Enai Farm, a popular cherry blossom viewing spot located at an altitude of about 1,600 meters. It is difficult to get a room at Enai Farm during the flower season. Fortunately, the park had just opened to outside visitors to enjoy the cherry blossoms, so there were not many people there, and I could fully experience the atmosphere of the pink world. The parking lot at Enai Farm is already a popular spot for cherry blossom viewing. The beautiful sight of cherry blossoms in full bloom is like entering a romantic wonderland. In addition to many photo-taking spots on the farm, there are also places to sit down and rest while admiring the cherry blossoms. Occupying a commanding position on the mountain, you can overlook the mountain scenery. The farm generously allows you to bring your own food and is also a pet-friendly place. At this time, we should exercise our civic awareness and love nature and keep the place clean while having fun. Flowers bloom and fall, and every time the cherry blossoms bloom, people miss their beauty. I hope the cherry blossoms will bloom and bring beauty to everyone!

Just came back from Lala Mountain, and felt the shock of the thousand-year-old red cypress trees! Start with the sacred tree group trail, and walk while surrounded by 50-meter-high, 2,800-year-old ancient trees. The air is so fresh that it feels like natural air conditioning, and the heart is purified. Then go to the Baling Ancient Trail. The children's favorite butterfly house and beetle house are halfway, and there is also a rope suspension bridge. After enjoying the pink beauty of the cherry blossom season, go to the observation deck to overlook the misty valley, which is too dreamy. In summer, you can taste sweet peaches and eat pears in autumn, which is a great sense of satisfaction. ✨ I love Lala Mountain so much: As soon as I stepped into the Lala Mountain sacred tree group trail, I was shocked by the red cypress and cypress trees, each of which is 50 meters high and aged from 500 to 2,800 years. The trail is flat and easy to walk, suitable for parents and children, friends, and learn while walking, feeling the oldest life force in the forest . 💚 Main ways to play 1. Sacred Trees Trail (about 1.5km/1.5 hours) You will pass by 24 numbered sacred trees, among which the No. 5 giant tree has stood for about 2,800 years. It is one of the largest and most dense red cypress forests in Taiwan. The trail is equipped with exquisite wooden planks and explanation signs, allowing you to stand in awe of these forest giants up close . 2. Baling Ancient Trail + Ecological Museum (about 1.3km/2 hours) Close to the visitor center, it is a relaxing route that is loved by parents and eco-enthusiasts. Along the way, there are butterfly pavilions, beetle pavilions, broad-leaved forest pavilions and rope suspension bridges. The four interactive pavilions will definitely make children enjoy walking to the end and forget to return . 3. Relax on the viewing platform + cherry blossom season The exit of the ancient trail leads to the Changshou Pavilion viewing platform, which has a wide view of the misty valley; the Thousand Island cherry blossoms bloom in February and March every year, and the Fuji cherry blossoms bloom in March. The romance of the cherry blossom season is matched with the mist, and it is as beautiful as a fairyland. Summer and autumn are the peak seasons for sweet peaches and pears. Don't miss the local aboriginal fruit characteristics when you come to Lala Mountain. 🔍 Ecological highlights and aboriginal culture 👉🏻Located at an altitude of 1,500-2,130 meters, the fog forest belt has a variety of forest types, including red cypress, cypress, beech, broad-leaved and other primitive forest tree species. 👉🏻More than 60 species of birds and protected animals such as imperial pheasants and Taiwan macaques live here, and you may encounter them when walking in the forest. 👉🏻"Lala" comes from the Atayal language "R'ra", which means "overlook" and "admire".

If you want to take pictures of the foggy scenery, remember to bring a camera and a heat pack 📌If you want to embrace ancient trees, forest bathing, culture, seasonal fruit fragrance and parent-child fun at the same time, Lala Mountain really takes care of it all! 🥰 #5月好去处2025

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Lalashan The location of Youde Garden is superb. The homestay itself is built on a commanding height. As soon as you enter the room, there are large floor-to-ceiling windows, and outside is a vast mountain view. When the weather is good, the view is great, with clouds flowing in the valley You can even see the sun slowly sinking over the mountain. The best way to spend the day is to sit on the terrace and drink tea. The homestay has a super spacious terrace, which is very suitable for three or five friends to come together. Not only can you enjoy the scenery and relax with a drink, the most important thing is that you can cook your own meals! The public area is equipped with a large refrigerator, gas stove, pots and pans, and basic tableware. You can just buy some ingredients and start cooking on the mountain. We also brought barbecue ingredients, and we grilled and ate on the terrace at night, drinking beer and chatting. It was so cozy If you are too lazy to do it yourself, the B&B also cooperates with nearby restaurants for delivery and can help deliver it to the B&B. But to be honest, the meals are generally a bit oily. The most fortunate thing was that the weather was super good in the evening. We happened to be sitting on the terrace and watched the sunset slowly fall into the sea of ​​clouds. The entire sky was dyed golden orange, and coupled with the quiet mountain air, the whole person was healed instantly. You really can’t find this kind of atmosphere in the city. ⸻ If you want to find a place where you can relax, get away from the crowd, and cook your own food, Youde Garden is really recommended. Remember to bring food with you to the mountain. Cook a hot pot or barbecue at night. This is what a vacation should be like.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Taoyuan Did you know that Taiwan also has a secret forest that looks like a fairy tale world? This time we came to the Lala Mountain Forest Park in Fuxing District, Taoyuan. Not only is the air here fresh and the forest is therapeutic, but it also hides a group of spectacular "millennium sacred trees", as if entering a natural mysterious palace. [Transportation tips] Whether you drive or take public transportation, the journey to Lala Mountain is not short, but once you arrive, it is definitely worth it! It takes about 2 hours to drive from Taoyuan city. It is recommended to arrange a day trip or stay overnight nearby to enjoy the tranquility of the mountains and forests. ⸻ 【See the park’s features at once】 1. Millennium Sacred Trees The most famous attraction in Lala Mountain is the Sacred Trees Trail, which is about 3 kilometers long and has more than 20 spectacular sacred red cypress trees, ranging in age from 500 to 3,000 years old! These giant trees are towering into the clouds, and each one is like a guardian of nature. Just standing under a tree makes people unconsciously lighten their steps, slow down their breathing, and feel a sense of tranquility. 2. Comfortable walking trails The park's trails are very well planned, and most sections are wooden plank roads, which are smooth and easy to walk on, and can be easily challenged by elders or children. But don't forget to wear comfortable walking shoes, and bring water and simple mosquito repellent. 3. A fairyland feeling surrounded by clouds and mist Because of the high terrain, there is often mist in the morning or afternoon. Sometimes the whole forest seems to be surrounded by a veil, which is so beautiful that it takes your breath away. The sunlight shining through the mist, coupled with the scent of red cypress, surrounds your entire senses in nature, which is full of healing power.

#2月好地方2025 In previous years, I would take tiring flights to Japan to chase cherry blossoms, but this year I just love Taiwan! I heard that there are cherry blossom viewing spots along Lala Mountain in Taoyuan, especially the Zhongbaling Sakuragi Flower Trail. During the cherry blossom season, the North Cross-Island Highway leading to the Sakuragi Flower Trail is converted into a pedestrian zone. More than 300 Showa cherry trees are planted on both sides of the road, stretching for more than 300 meters, which is a free cherry blossom viewing spot. Although the winding mountain road is a bit tiring, you can also visit the Baling Bridge and Baling Old Bridge along the way! Because the Baling Bridge is the confluence of the Yufeng River and the Sanguang River, the scenery is magnificent. The last stop is the Lala Mountain Deep Forest Recreation Area. The sacred trees of Lala Mountain still stand majestically, and it is also a pleasure to visit them according to their numbers.

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Taman Mountain is located at the junction of Wulai Township, New Taipei City and Fuxing Township, Taoyuan County; it is not as famous as the nearby Lala Mountain. But its landscape is more than enough to match the beauty of the giant trees. The trail is 2,950 meters long and is a beautiful carpet forest trail with a height difference of only 500 meters, so it is not difficult. The Taman Mountain Forest Trail has a whole area of ​​lush and dense trees with strange tree shapes, towering trees, and a wall of fallen trees lying in a spectacular and strange posture. It is a popular spot for changing clothes and taking beautiful photos. This time, because of the cold wave and abundant humidity, we just wanted to chase the snow. We started from the trail entrance of Taman Mountain. Taman Mountain, known as the "Kingdom of Trees", was indeed covered with a silver-white battle robe. The azaleas, cypresses, fir trees and tree walls that grew freely were all hung with snow-white bead curtains or outer robes to fully display their unique northern snow scenery. The silver-white world was very dreamy and attractive. Excitedly congratulating myself for successfully chasing snow🏆!

🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Natural, Relaxing 🕰️Opening hours: 06:00-17:00 I love Lala Mountain early in the morning! It is recommended to go up the mountain in advance and stay overnight, so that you can enjoy the phytoncides in the morning🫶🫶

#Taipei Attractions Taiwan's Lala Mountain National Forest Park is a breathtaking natural wonder. This pristine forest area located on the eastern foot of the Central Mountain Range not only has magnificent mountain scenery, but also preserves rare ecological resources.

The park's winding mountain trails pass through pristine forests, giving visitors the opportunity to admire a variety of rare plant and animal species. Precious Taiwan cherry blossoms, Taiwan azaleas and Taiwan cypress grow here, as well as endangered Taiwan black bears, Taiwan muntjacs and other rare animals.

The peaches first released in Lala Mountain this year don’t look very big because they are not yet in season, but they are surprisingly sweet and juicy, and juice will spray out when you bite them.

The temperature in Lala Mountain in January is 7-8 degrees and the humidity is 92-97! 🥶, but seeing the giant trees and absorbing the phytoncides makes me feel like I have temporarily left the hustle and bustle of the city.

Taking advantage of the peach 🍑 season, I came to Lala Mountain in Fuxing Township, Taoyuan for a day trip. The smell of peach 🍑 instantly cheered me up ❤️

The sunshine shines brightly and caresses my body. The greenery is lush and the insects are chirping. The grass and branches on the road are all spring. The sky is filled with clear mist and green.
