The dazzling golden beech trail on Taiping Mountain

#2月好地方2025
The Taiwan Beech Trail is located next to Cuifeng Mountain House in Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area. It is 3.8 kilometers long and takes about 4 hours to walk back and forth. If you want to go up the mountain to admire the beech trees, this trail is easy to access and many travel agencies have arranged this itinerary, which shows that it is not difficult!

The Taiwan beech (Fagus) is a plant that survived the Ice Age in Taiwan. It has a narrow distribution range and a small population, and has been declared a rare plant. On this trail, you can wander freely in the primeval beech forest, which is such a luxurious and enjoyable thing.

The first part of the trip is relatively flat, but the slope changes greatly after 2.5 kilometers in the second part. However, you can overlook the 1,100-hectare original pure Taiwan beech forest. In spring, it sprouts fresh green, in summer it is lush green, in autumn it has golden yellow leaves, and in winter it has fallen leaves and dry branches. The scenery of each season is different and each has its own charm.

The Taipingshan forest will be foggy in the afternoon, which will affect the visual experience. It is recommended to set off early so that you can take a look at the Cuifeng Lake view on the way back.
