Taiwan Zhihibun National Forest Park — A Time to Breathe in the Forest's Essence

Located in the Zhihibun forestry area, this national forest recreation area is a haven of fresh, cool air due to its high altitude. From the moment you arrive, you can sense the unique 'breath of the forest.' The scent of trees fills the air, mingling with the subtle aroma of soil and fallen leaves, instantly putting you at ease. 🏞️

The trails are a mix of wooden boardwalks and gravel paths, with a moderate difficulty level. While not overly challenging, there are inclines along the way, and plenty of rest stops are available. Benches with scenic views line the paths, and as the wind blows, the shadows of leaves shimmer beautifully. Each new set of steps reveals a different panoramic view, allowing you to immerse yourself in the serene sounds of birds and rustling leaves. 🌳

As you continue along the forest path, you'll eventually come across a wooden pavilion and a cloud-draped valley—this is the highlight of the journey. Many visitors bring portable drinks and spend a long time here, while others come to rejuvenate their weary bodies and minds from city life. It's a place that naturally comes to mind when you seek restoration in nature.

The trails are well-maintained, but they can become slippery depending on the weather, so it's recommended to wear lightweight, grippy sneakers. Forest guides and informational signs are scattered throughout the park, minimizing the risk of getting lost. This is more than just a walking trail—it's a place where you can truly engage in a 'dialogue with the forest.' ✨
