Yilan has always been a healin

Yilan has always been a healing place for tourism in Taiwan. If you are tired of the busy life in the city, you might as well have a real "forest bath" experience! This trip chose the popular natural attraction in Yilan - Jianqing Huaigu Trail. Walking in the forest on the trail, breathing in the full of natural oxygen, instantly felt like the mind was washed by nature. If you like camping and like to be close to the mountains and forests, Yilan really will not disappoint you!

The Sunny Nostalgia Trail was originally the ruins of the Taiping Mountain Forest Railway, retaining the charming and primitive atmosphere of the old railway and old tree roots. The trail is about 2.45 kilometers long and about 1,700 meters above sea level. The difficulty is simple, just walk slowly and stop to feel the breeze in the forest.

Along the trail you will encounter ancient cypress trees, a sea of dense trees, and small squirrels and birds jumping around from time to time. The most eye-catching thing is the towering native semi-wild forest on both sides of the trail. It’s really healing to stroll along! Popular photo spot: The old railway wooden bridge, taking pictures under the shade of light and shadow, is as beautiful as a painting.
