Basianshan National Forest Recreation Area

Basianshan National Forest Recreation Area is located in Heping District, Taichung City, and is renowned for its magnificent natural scenery and rich forest resources. Every spring, the cherry blossom trees in the park bloom, adding a touch of romantic pink to this pristine forest. Unlike typical urban cherry blossom viewing spots, the cherry blossoms in Basianshan intertwine with towering cedar trees and dense bamboo groves, creating a unique visual appeal. Additionally, the area boasts well-maintained hiking trails and ecological education facilities, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers to explore. The park is home to a diverse range of wildlife, and if you're lucky, you might spot Formosan macaques or Reeves's muntjacs roaming through the forest. Due to its higher elevation, the climate is pleasant and cool, even in spring, so it's advisable to bring a light jacket. Whether you enjoy hiking or simply want to relax and admire the flowers, Basianshan is an excellent choice.
