Taichung Dakeng old park, the taste of youth in the memory of all Taichung people! !

It's been ages since I've been to a forest park. Summer's all about heading up the mountains. The Lavender Forest Xinshe Park is about an hour's drive from the city. The last section can be a little tricky to get through, but since there weren't many visitors, the traffic was smooth. This time, because we were collaborating with Cloud Ah Q, we took out some props from our previous Eslite 480 collaboration to take photos. The park staff were curious about where our merchandise came from. :)

Although the park isn't large, it has its own product shops, restaurants, an ice cream shop, and various garden paths. It took about two hours to leisurely walk and take photos. If you dine in the park, you can extend your time. It's perfect for a half-day trip.

💞Honestly speaking: Lavender Forest truly holds a special place in Taichung's memories. Those who haven't been here should definitely visit if they have the chance. The air is fresh, the crowds aren't too high, and there are many discounted admission packages available, including access to activities within the park. Whether it's crafting or picnicking, it's truly therapeutic.
