[2025 Nantou Attraction] Travel Guide for Wangyou Forest (Updated Jun)

This trip to the Forget-Your-Sorrow Forest was my first mountain climbing experience. Walking into this forest, you will immediately be surrounded by tranquility. The winding path is surrounded by towering trees. All you can hear along the way is the breeze blowing through the treetops and the occasional bird song, as if the whole world has stopped. Unlike other mountain climbing spots, there are no noisy tourists here, only the breath of nature that makes people let go of their daily worries. Every step you take is firm and you can feel the warmth and moisture of the soil on the ground. When you reach a viewing platform somewhere, you can see the whole view of the mountains and forests, which makes you stop and quietly enjoy this moment of peace. When I left, I felt particularly calm, as if this journey had really taken away the burden from my heart. #climb mountains #100 Ways to Travel

When we traveled to the Forgetfulness Forest in Zhushan, Nantou, we happened to encounter a rainy day, making the entire forest particularly serene. Walking along the wet paths, raindrops pattered on the lake's surface, and the distant dead trees loomed mysteriously in the mist, creating a scene full of enchantment. We admired the picturesque scenery while chatting about life's little moments, occasionally stopping to take photos and capture the beauty of the moment. In such weather, one can truly feel the meaning behind the name 'Forgetfulness Forest,' as if all worries and stress are washed away with the rain. Despite the muddy paths, we felt relaxed and content, thanks to the tranquility and harmony with nature.

✅Transportation strategy: Search for "Rending Tea" and you can park for free. After a series of winding paths and uphill climbs, you will reach the entrance of the Forget-Your-Sorrows Forest. Leave the driver's phone number and call the drop-off location 10 minutes before going down the mountain to pick you up. ✅Must-see attractions: The tea garden at the beginning, the reflection of the mountain mist and dead trees at the beginning, the Shenmu Volcano halfway (need to climb, please be careful), and the panoramic view at the end, are all good places to take pictures. ✅Recommended store: Ren Ding Tea. The proprietress is responsible for arranging parking, while the boss is responsible for picking up and dropping off customers. The official price is NT$200. The store provides toilets and after walking in the forest, you can clean the muddy soles of your shoes with a rag. The reception in the third room is not very good, but there is also free Wi-Fi, which is great to use (the password is written on a note on the table), which allows everyone to check in and upload photos immediately😆 ✅Must-eat food: In addition to selling the famous local tea of ​​Nantou, if you are thirsty, you may want to buy some cold brew tea from the boss lady. The price of a bottle is $40. On that day, the boss lady was very kind and let us take away the three plus one can for only $100👍 ✅Travel Guide: If necessary, you can make an appointment to see if the store is open: 0911 -939-494. The price per person is the official price of $200, including one round-trip transfer. #Wangyou Forest #Nantou #Xitou #Wangyou Forest Connection #Ren Ding Tea

You can’t get here by car! Because it is a super beautiful secret place, take the shuttle bus from the tea shop at the foot of the mountain. After getting off the bus, walk for another 10 minutes and you will arrive. There is a lot of mud and the rocks are slippery, so be very careful when walking! The best time to arrive is in the morning. It is more likely to be foggy after noon, so it is recommended to go out early. #Taiwan#Nantou#Forget-Your-Forest#Secret#Mountain View

Wangyou Forest has always been a popular check-in spot. It is not easy to get here. You have to drive a difficult mountain road to get there. You can also ask a local guide to take you up. It happened to rain the day before, and the water surface was full, which made it even more beautiful. #springtravel #starfamily4monthflash #localtravel #familytravel #romanticgetaway

Wangyou Forest is located in Lugu Township, Nantou County (about 1,600 meters above sea level). Due to the barrier lake formed by landslides during the 921 earthquake, the original Cryptomeria japonica forest was soaked in the swamp for too long and turned into dead trees. The dead trees in the wetland are reflected by aquatic plants. The conflicting and harmonious picture of a trace of desolation and a ray of vitality is the special landscape of Wangyou Forest🤔! In the summer, the Forget-Me-Not Forest turns into a swamp due to abundant rainfall. Although the swamp shrinks during the dry winter, it does not diminish its dreaminess. Perhaps because it is located at a high altitude and is filled with fog all day long, it is also known as the "Misty Forest". Wandering in this forest...sometimes the mountain mist is floating, sometimes the sun is shining, and it feels like the scenery is showing her charm like a lady with a thousand faces. The towering trees and the blue sky dance in the water, reflecting each other, and the hazy mountain mist also joins in the background, telling a beautiful and sad story...The beautiful name of "Taiwan Jiuzhaigou" is derived from this. 💞Recommendation reason: It is not difficult. You can take a shuttle bus (100 one-way) at the foot of the mountain (near the Nyan Tea Factory); you can also walk up the mountain for about 50 minutes. 🗓️Itinerary: 2-3 days to visit Xitou or Shanlinxi attractions

The Forget-Me-Not Forest, located near Taiwan Shanlin Scenic Area, is like a country abandoned by nature. A dead tree appeared in the lush forest. After the rainy season, the puddles on the ground and the trees complement each other, creating a different world.
