If you are looking for a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in nature, then Guanwu National Forest Recreation Area is definitely your first choice! Located in Meiyuan Village, Tai'an Township, Miaoli County, this little paradise is not only picturesque, but also allows you to feel the wonder of nature and the miracle of life. I feel that this place is really like a hidden treasure, waiting for us to explore and enjoy.
The location of Guanwu National Forest Recreation Area is quite convenient. It takes about two hours to drive from Hsinchu. The park is open from 8 am to 5 pm every day. This time is quite sufficient, whether you want to hike or take beautiful photos, or simply sit quietly under a tree and enjoy the gentle touch of the wind, it's all very suitable.
When I first came here, the sun shone through the branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows, and a faint fragrance of trees drifted around. It felt as if all the troubles had been absorbed by this tranquility. Breathing the fresh air, I couldn't help but admire this forest.
There are several hiking trails here, and whether you are a hiking novice or an experienced hiker, you can find a suitable route. Like the Yunwu Trail I walked before, it's simply a path suitable for families and friends to travel together, about 846 meters long, and it takes about 30 minutes to walk. Along the way, you can see the magnificent Holy Ridge, as well as tall giant red cypresses, and occasionally some charming small waterfalls. Especially in the early morning, you can be fascinated by the sea of clouds and sunrise, which is as beautiful as a painting.
The Cypress Giant Wood Trail is another experience. This reopened path brings us closer to those ancient trees that may be over 2,000 years old. When they stand in the clouds and mist, it really makes you wonder if you've arrived in a fantasy wonderland.
From Hsinchu, it takes about 2 hours and 10 minutes by car. You can also choose the shuttle bus service provided by the recreation area. The trip from the high-speed rail station is not long, and the round-trip cost is about 1600 NTD, which also includes insurance, making the trip much more worry-free. I think this arrangement is really good, especially for those tourists who are not used to driving themselves. They can fully enjoy the natural journey of the day without worrying about road conditions or parking issues.
Every year, Guanwu National Forest Recreation Area also holds a variety of activities, allowing visiting tourists to gain a deeper understanding of this land. I participated in the Xueba Golden New Year activity before. In that activity, in addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, I also learned a lot about ecological conservation and mountain climbing safety through interactive Q&A and story performances. This experience not only allows us to have fun, but also allows us to have more respect and understanding of this nature.
In Guanwu, every breath is true relaxation. The morning sun shines down, and birds sing in the trees. That feeling, I really can't describe it in words. Whether you sit quietly on a path in the forest or stroll through the woods, you can feel the strong pulse of nature. That sense of isolation from the world makes me feel like I'm really hidden in this beautiful scenery. Occasionally, when the clouds and mist are swirling, I even feel like I'm in a dream, it's just too dreamy.
Guanwu National Forest Recreation Area is a great place to relax. It not only has a variety of hiking trails, but also convenient transportation and interesting activity arrangements. Every visit makes me feel the infinite charm of nature. Whether you are traveling alone or with companions, this place can become the best place for you to create memories.
I believe that next holiday, you might as well plan a trip to Guanwu, immerse yourself in the embrace of nature, and regain the delicacy and beauty of life. Here, everything slows down, time seems to be no longer a hasty concept, and you will find that life sometimes really needs a little breathing space.
