[2025 Nantou Attraction] Travel Guide for Sun-Link-Sea Forest and Nature Resort (Updated Apr)

Sun Link Sea Resort in Zhushan, Nantou, is not only a great place for hiking and forest bathing but also a prime spot for cherry blossom viewing! At an altitude of 1600 meters and covering an area of 40 hectares, the vast park is home to 1500 native Camellia Cherry Blossoms and Wushe Cherry Blossoms. Every year in February and March, the red and white blossoms bloom along the stream, reflecting on the lake and creating a picturesque scene. It is the only 'cherry blossom riverside' in Taiwan. Sun Link Sea boasts a variety of cherry blossom species. In addition to the native Camellia Cherry Blossoms, there are about 1000 pink Camellia Cherry Blossoms and 500 white Wushe Cherry Blossoms. Other species include Oshima Cherry Blossoms, Fugenzo Cherry Blossoms, and Weeping Cherry Blossoms. There are also tulips and peonies, which bloom around the same time as the cherry blossoms, creating a stunning display of flowers. Sun Link Sea is not far from Xitou, and cherry blossoms can be seen along the Sun Link Sea Highway. Driving there is more convenient. The entrance fee is 350 NTD, and parking costs 100 NTD. Visitors can take the park shuttle for free.

I like to go abroad, but I can't take a plane during the epidemic. There are many places in Taiwan where you can experience beautiful fairyland, and Xitou Shanlinxi is one of them😆 I submitted an article to Shanlinxi Weekly before, and it was published, so I took the accommodation voucher and brought my girlfriend to be a real fairy. The entrance fee to Shanlinxi is NT$300. If you stay overnight, you can get there for free. You can drive up the mountain or take the Taiwan Highway Xitou Line to get there. It is a wonderland that can be reached directly from the city without changing transportation, which is very convenient. There are free guided tours in Shanlinxi, as well as nighttime stargazing, all at no extra charge. The food in the park is cheap for a tourist attraction, ranging from instant noodles and snacks to sesame oil chicken soup and bamboo tube rice. If you want to drink a hot soup on the mountain, you can enjoy the deliciousness without spending a lot of money. The Shanlinxi Park is very large, but its design is very user-friendly. If you are physically fit, you can walk along the primitive trails and enjoy the forest phytoncides, or you can climb up the Haohan Slope to see the Qinglong Waterfall. If you are not physically fit or even have a wheelchair, they will also arrange a shuttle bus for you. It costs 40 yuan for a one-way trip and 80 yuan for a round trip. You can go to Songlong Rock at the top or to the flower center halfway to enjoy the flowers. I am a typical representative of a loser with no physical strength, so I took the shuttle bus, arrived at Songlongyan Waterfall, and then walked down slowly. It was downhill all the way, so there was no pressure. With the refreshing weather, I enjoyed the chirping of insects and birds and smelled the forest phytoncides, which made me feel refreshed. This place is managed very carefully, with a theme for each month, such as flower and maple viewing, firefly viewing, etc. It is managed very carefully and combined with educational elements, making it very suitable for young and old to visit together. In addition to relaxing, you can also learn about the wonders of nature. The ecological conservation is excellent, and birds and butterflies are no longer just seen in books. In terms of accommodation, the room is quite spacious, with a coffee table and a dining table. You can also see the beautiful scenery outside from the window, and you can choose to have dinner in the restaurant. Both Jixiang Hall and Manyi Hall cost 300 yuan per person, which includes five dishes, one soup and one fruit. The portions are large, and the dishes are different every day, so there are surprises every day. If you have two days and one night to arrange, you can add this to your consideration list! #Sunlinksea Resort #Local Tour

The cherry blossoms and tulips in Sun Link Sea around March 20th are absolutely stunning. This is my second visit, and I am completely captivated 🥰. As soon as I stepped into this mountain forest, the pink cherry blossoms 🌸 covering the mountains instantly caught my eye. I was afraid of missing even a moment of this dreamlike scenery. As the breeze blew, petals fell like pink rain, creating an incredibly beautiful scene. The ornamental cabbages are equally impressive, with their soft and sophisticated Morandi tones and unique lace-like leaves that unfold layer by layer, exuding an elegant charm. Every casual shot is a perfect atmospheric photo. And the tulips 🌷, with their varied shapes and vibrant colors, are a feast for the eyes. I just wanted to capture them all with my camera. The biggest surprise was discovering the white and purple magnolias as I was leaving the flower center. From a distance, I thought they were carefully arranged decorative flowers. Up close, they were so beautiful it was dizzying. Nature truly is the greatest artist! For those looking to enjoy the flowers, Sun Link Sea is a must-visit. Just go for it!

Don’t miss Taiwan’s cherry blossoms. Have you come to enjoy the 2025 Shanlinxi Cherry Blossom Festival? The cherry blossoms in Shanlinxi are very spectacular, with many varieties of flowers, mainly Tsubaki cherry blossoms with thousands of flowers, dyeing the entire mountain forest pink. You must come and take pictures. From the cherry blossom river bank, cherry blossom forest to the trail, it is so beautiful. Considering that it would take nearly two hours to go to the mountains or drive from Taichung, it would be more cost-effective to enjoy the flowers in the cities of Japan and South Korea, right? After the actual visit, I could understand why people were rushing to see the cherry blossoms. We even had to wait for two hours in traffic during the long weekend to get to Shanlinxi, which took us four hours in total. But we really felt it was worth it because the cherry blossoms in Shanlinxi are very spectacular and there are many varieties of flowers! I really recommend everyone to come and take a look.
