2026 Hsinchu County Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

If someone asked me: "Besides the City God Temple, where else in Hsinchu is worth a two-day, one-night trip?" My answer used to be only Neiwan. But this time, I decided to slow down, not chase after tourist attractions or rush the itinerary, but simply plan a truly relaxing trip. And I unexpectedly discovered— It turns out that the most charming thing about Hsinchu isn't any particular attraction, but the city's relaxed pace. Day 1 | Departing from Taichung, Savoring Time for the Scenery At 10 AM, I drove north from Xitun District in Taichung. I didn't rush out early, nor did I cram in a ton of tourist attractions. Travel doesn't have to be early. Comfort is the most important aspect of travel. First Stop: Neiwan Old Street | A Town Full of Nostalgic Charm I arrived in Neiwan around noon. The old street lacks the hustle and bustle of the city, instead possessing a magical quality that makes you want to slow down. Strolling along the railway tracks, gazing at the old train station and suspension bridge, inhaling the aroma of wild ginger flower rice dumplings, and then buying a cup of aiyu jelly to sit by the roadside. Time seemed to slow down. Lunch was Hakka cuisine; every dish tasted like home. No elaborate presentation, yet it was incredibly satisfying. The greatest happiness in travel is probably this simplicity. Second Stop: Weiweijia Persimmon Cake Educational Farm | A Limited-Time Golden Romance in Autumn After leaving Neiwan, a twenty-minute drive brought me to a place I'd always wanted to visit. Weiweijia Persimmon Cake Educational Farm. When the entire persimmon drying field came into view, I couldn't help but stop. Rows of orange-yellow persimmons were neatly arranged, bathed in sunlight, a scene of breathtaking beauty. An autumn breeze blew by. The air was filled with the subtle scent of persimmons. It was truly a scene unique to autumn in Taiwan. Besides taking photos, I highly recommend trying dried persimmons, persimmon shaved ice, and various processed persimmon products. They also make great souvenirs. Checking into Hsinchu City, a different travel rhythm begins. In the evening, I checked into the Sun Moon Light International Hotel Hsinchu Branch. After settling in, I didn't rush to rest. Because the real Hsinchu nightlife was just beginning. Dongmen Market | Hsinchu's most charming nightlife Many people's impression of markets is limited to the daytime. But Hsinchu's Dongmen Market is completely different. By day, it's a market. At night, it transforms into a food haven for young people. From Japanese cuisine, skewers, curry, and pasta to unique bars, each stall has its own style. I especially like that it's not overly commercialized. Walking through the market, you can better experience the daily life of Hsinchu residents. Chenghuang Temple Shopping District | Hsinchu's endless culinary delights After eating at Dongmen Market, I strolled to Chenghuang Temple. A night in Hsinchu is truly not something you can just plan for one meal. Duck rice, rice noodles, meatball soup, spring rolls, desserts… Every few steps, I couldn't resist buying something else. In the end, I could only tell myself: "I'll definitely come back next time." Day 2 | Enjoy a leisurely breakfast, travel at your own pace After breakfast at the hotel, we didn't rush to check out, but instead headed to the Hsinchu City Zoo. Hsinchu City Zoo | The most heartwarming little zoo It's not the largest in Taiwan. But it's one of my favorite city zoos. The entire park is clean and comfortable. A stroll along the adjacent Retso Park is very relaxing. If you're traveling with children, I highly recommend allocating a morning to it. It won't be too tiring, and you'll create many memories. Lunch with old friends is the most beautiful interlude of the trip. At noon, we went to the Food Paradise on the ninth floor of Big City Hsinchu Far Eastern Department Store. This trip, besides the scenery, was more importantly about seeing former colleagues I hadn't seen in a long time. The most precious thing about travel sometimes isn't how many tourist attractions you visit, but rather the people you reunite with through the journey. A meal, a group of friends, a chat—these are the memories most worth cherishing. On the way back, we stopped by Beipu Old Street. After a satisfying meal, we didn't rush back to Taichung. We made Beipu Old Street our final destination. The crowds were much more comfortable than on the first day. We strolled leisurely, enjoyed a bowl of Hakka Lei Cha (pounded tea), and bought some brown sugar cake and Hakka mochi. Let the entire trip conclude in a relaxed atmosphere. There was no rush. No constant navigation. Just enjoying the healing power of travel. My travel reflections: Many people think Hsinchu is just about the technology park. But after truly experiencing the city, you realize, it's actually perfect for a two-day, one-night slow trip. The old streets, cultural history, unique markets, delicious food, and natural scenery of Hsinchu are all nestled within a half-hour radius of each other. No need to drive all the time. No need to rush from one attraction to another. Yet you'll create countless unforgettable memories. If you're looking for a relaxing, effortless, and locally immersive trip, I highly recommend following this route. I believe you'll find yourself, just like me, rediscovering Hsinchu in a new light. 📍Recommended Itinerary for 2 Days & 1 Night Day 1: Taichung Xitun → Neiwan Old Street → Weiweijia Persimmon Cake Educational Farm → Sun Moon Light International Hotel Hsinchu Branch → Dongmen Market → Chenghuang Temple Shopping District Day 2: Hotel Breakfast → Hsinchu Municipal Zoo → Food Paradise (9th Floor, Big City Hsinchu Far Eastern Department Store) → Beipu Old Street → Return to Taichung 📌Travel Information 🚗 Transportation: Driving is the most convenient option 🏨 Accommodation: Sun Moon Light International Hotel Hsinchu Branch 📅 Recommended Duration: 2 days & 1 night 🍂 Best Time to Visit: October to December (Persimmon Cake Season is the most beautiful) ⭐ Recommendation Index: ★★★★★ Because the truly memorable trips aren't about how many attractions you visit, but about starting to think about when you'll return as you're on your way home.

Who says you have to hike high mountains for great views? Tucked away at 750 meters above sea level in Jianshi, Hsinchu, the "Magic Witch House" looks like it popped straight out of a storybook. Not only does it feature super-photogenic witch brooms, but it also offers a soul-soothing "Peak of Jianshi" panoramic view. It's the ultimate weekend getaway to escape the city hustle in Hsinchu! 🧹 Stop 1: Unlock a Witch's Magical Daily Life As soon as you enter the park, the most eye-catching features are the exotic wooden buildings. Must-snap spots: The magical standees at the entrance and the "flying broom"! With the right angle, you can capture a visual effect of flying surrounded by mountains. Fairy tale vibes: The park is filled with vibrant flowers and cute elf decorations. Every corner feels like a scene straight out of *Kiki's Delivery Service*. ⛰️ Stop 2: 180-Degree Flawless Mountain View Deck The biggest selling point that makes "Magic Witch House" so popular is its unbeatable scenery. Sitting in the outdoor dining area, you'll face the cascading mountains of the Rahaw Tribe. On a good day, the swirling mist looks like Mother Nature rolling out an ink painting screen right before your eyes. Sipping afternoon tea here while enjoying the cool mountain breeze will truly make your weekday stress vanish into thin air. 🍴 Stop 3: Comfort Food in the Mountain Town In many scenic restaurants, the food plays second fiddle, but the meals at the Magic Witch House are surprisingly solid. Must-order recommendations: The hot pots and set meals here come in generous portions. We highly recommend the piping hot wild mushroom hot pot—it's incredibly heartwarming on the chilly mountain. Afternoon tea time: Ordering a signature drink with waffles and spacing out by the window is the absolute best way to kick off the weekend. 🌸 Stop 4: Colors of the Four Seasons Visit the Magic Witch House in different seasons, and you'll be greeted by entirely different colors. Spring is dotted with delicate cherry blossoms, while autumn turns the rolling hills from vibrant green to deep, rich hues. There's also a gentle trail inside the park, perfect for a post-meal stroll to take deep breaths of the fresh mountain air and healing phytoncides. 💡 Traveler's Honest Truth: Pro Tips for Heading Up the Mountain Road conditions: Although the views are priceless, the final mile leading to the Witch House is rather rugged and narrow (with some steep slopes). Novice drivers are advised to take it slow or avoid heading up during peak hours. Admission info: The entrance fee is a very budget-friendly $100 NTD per person (which can be credited toward your food bill). It's basically trading a hundred bucks for a world-class mountain view ticket! Mosquito repellent & sun protection: The mountain area is cool, but since you're in the great outdoors, it's best to pack some bug spray and watch out for high-altitude UV rays. Pet-friendly: This is a pet-friendly space! It's perfect for bringing your fur babies to run around and snap pictures on the grass. ✨ Conclusion The "Magic Witch House" in Jianshi, Hsinchu isn't just a restaurant; it's more like a magic circle that hits the pause button on time. If you're looking for a spot to take photos, zone out, and soak in epic scenery, it is absolutely worth the winding mountain drive.

Recommendation Rate: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Great for: Fitness enthusiasts, photography lovers, family outings, sunset chasers When it comes to the "backyard" of Hsinchu locals, aside from Nanliao, the most popular sports sanctuary is definitely Feifeng Mountain. This isn't just a "Xiao Bai Yue" (Little Hundred Peaks) trail where you can work up a sweat; it also boasts legendary, god-tier views where you can "see Taipei 101 with the naked eye" (though this obviously requires extreme luck and perfect visibility). This weekend, I decided to take on this classic trail myself! 📍 Location: Qionglin Township, Hsinchu County (Navigate to "Feifeng Mountain First Parking Lot") 🕒 15:00 | Setting Off: Deep Breaths in the Forest We chose the most popular starting point, the "Guanriping Ancient Trail (2800 Trail)." First Impressions of the Trail: It starts with a slightly steep stone staircase, surrounded by dense forests on both sides, with the endless chirping of cicadas. Even though I was a bit out of breath, the fresh phytoncides in the air instantly relaxed my mind. Trail Conditions: Feifeng Mountain offers a variety of routes. Those looking to challenge their stamina usually take the "450 Trail" or the "1800 Trail." If you're looking for a high-quality travel experience like me, I recommend taking the loop route. Not only can you enjoy the scenery, but the incline is also relatively forgiving. ⛩️ 15:45 | Daiquan Temple: Peaceful Temple Time Halfway through, you'll pass the famous Daiquan Temple, an important supply stop equipped with water dispensers and restrooms. The plaza in front of the temple already offers an expansive view, allowing you to overlook the idyllic countryside landscape where Qionglin and the Hsinchu Plain intertwine. 🌅 16:30 | Guanri Pavilion (Sunrise Pavilion): The Visual Climax of the Route When I reached the highest point, "Guanri Pavilion," the scenery before me truly made me feel that all my previous sweat was totally worth it! Sunset Feast: We purposely picked a time close to dusk. Watching the fiery sunset gradually light up the entire Hsinchu tech hub, that vast, commanding view from above was incredibly healing. Finding 101: On days with exceptionally high visibility, if you look towards the northeast, you can actually catch a faint glimpse of Taipei 101! Although I didn't see it this time, this sense of surprise is exactly part of the fun of hiking Feifeng Mountain. 🍜 18:00 | Post-Hike Comfort After the hike, you absolutely cannot miss the traditional delicacies in downtown Qionglin. A steaming bowl of "Hsinchu Flat Noodles" paired with perfectly braised side dishes—now that's a complete one-day Hsinchu lifestyle! 📝 Trip.com Tips and Practical Notes (Moments Featured Guide): Gear Suggestions: While it's an accessible trail, some sections have intertwined tree roots. It's recommended to wear sneakers or hiking shoes with good grip. Best Time to Visit: Weekday Afternoons: Avoid the weekend crowds and enjoy the tranquility of the summit all to yourself. May Tung Blossom Season: The mountains are covered in "May Snow," instantly leveling up your photos. Photo Spots: Acacia Forest Tunnel: There's a section of acacia trees in the middle of the trail. The way the light and shadows filter down gives off a very Japanese cinematic vibe. Under the Guanri Pavilion Plaque: A must-visit checkpoint for summiting. Don't forget to take a photo to prove you've conquered a Xiao Bai Yue! Supply Suggestions: Mountain supply points are concentrated near the temple, so it's recommended to carry over 600ml of drinking water and some light snacks. Summary: Feifeng Mountain is a peak that is "approachable yet full of depth." If you're looking for a place where you can easily travel back and forth while enjoying views of the ocean, mountains, and the city, this is the most brilliant outdoor map marker for your Moments! 📍 Location Info: Feifeng Mountain, Qionglin, Hsinchu 🏷️ Tags:

When people think of Hsinchu, the first thing that comes to mind is often its high-tech engineer city vibe or the bustling street food scene in front of the City God Temple. But this time, I want to take you to a hidden paradise just a 10-minute drive from downtown, where you can instantly escape the city's hustle and bustle: Qingcao Lake (Green Grass Lake). Following a massive landscape renovation, it's no longer the run-down reservoir the older generation talks about. Instead, it has transformed into a five-star leisure destination that seamlessly blends Japanese Zen aesthetics, outdoor sports, and breathtaking light and shadow effects. 🌿 Stop 1: Yingyue Bridge & Yufei Island — Breathing in Japanese Zen within the City As soon as you arrive, you're greeted by the "Yingyue Bridge," which resembles a flowing white ribbon. This scenic bridge spans the lake with elegant, minimalist curves, boasting a modern aesthetic that perfectly complements the distant Fenghuang Bridge. Walking across it, the cool breeze gently blowing off the lake instantly slows your pace and relaxes your mind. Crossing the bridge brings you to the mysterious "Yufei Island." The island preserves its original dense forest, with winding trails encircling the entire area. Every corner is a photographer's dream. I highly recommend stopping in the middle of the bridge to take wide-angle shots with the lake as your backdrop. The layered beauty of the mountains and water rivals any famous lake park in Japan. 🚣♂️ Stop 2: Lake Center Adventures — Dynamic Experiences from Swan Boats to SUP When you visit Qingcao Lake, you can't just stand on the shore. Its greatest charm lies in getting up close and personal with the water. The Timeless Classic: Swan Boats & Dragon Boards If you're traveling with elderly family members or looking for a romantic date, the "electric swan boat" is your best bet. No pedaling required—just gently steer the wheel and gracefully glide toward the center of the lake. Looking up at the Yingyue Bridge from the water offers a spectacular visual perspective totally different from the land. Additionally, they offer dragon boards suitable for a small group of friends, making it a perfect choice for group outings. The Ultimate Thrill: Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP) For sporty travelers, Qingcao Lake is one of the few lakes in Taiwan where you can enjoy a stable SUP experience. The calm waters make it incredibly beginner-friendly. Watching instructors guide visitors as they glide across the mirror-like lake is not only an eye-catching highlight for social media but also the ultimate way to decompress. 📸 Stop 3: The Magic of Light and Shadows — Capturing the "Eight Views of Qingcao Lake" in the Golden Afternoon If you want to be featured on Trip.com Moments, the right photography angle is key. I suggest arriving around 4:30 PM. As the sun slowly sets, it paints the lake in shimmering, golden hues. Qingfeng Mingyue Wall: This retro screen wall looks incredibly textured under the slanting sunlight, making it the perfect backdrop for indie-style photos if you wear solid or earth-toned outfits. Lakeside Trail: The trail is lined with swaying trees. When the sunlight filters through the leaves and dances on the ground, it acts as nature's most beautiful filter. 💡 A Pro Traveler's Trip.com Guide (Must Save!): Parking & Transport: The park features a large indoor parking lot with plenty of spaces and a smooth layout, so you don't have to worry even if you visit on a weekend. Online Booking: Since SUP and swan boats are incredibly popular on weekends, I strongly advise booking online in advance to avoid waiting at the pier and to keep your itinerary on track. Itinerary Pairing: The famous "Lakeshore Hotel" is within walking distance of Qingcao Lake. If you stay a night here, you can wake up to a misty, fairy-tale-like Qingcao Lake in the early morning. Food Stops: There are famous sausage stands and quality eateries nearby. On your way back, it's just a 10-15 minute drive to downtown Hsinchu, where you can continue your foodie adventure at the City God Temple. ✨ Conclusion: Not Just a Scenic Spot, But a Healing Journey The rebirth of Qingcao Lake represents an upgrade in Hsinchu's quality of life. You don't need to trek over mountains or travel far; just a free afternoon is enough to recharge you with negative ions and visual delights. Whether you're a sports enthusiast looking to break a sweat or an urbanite seeking a moment of peace, you'll find your rhythm here. Next time you're in Hsinchu, don't just brush past the engineers—come to Qingcao Lake, rent a boat, and immerse yourself in this watery forest gently embraced by time! Attractions Travel One-day Tour [Hsinchu Hidden Gem] Qingcao Lake: Paddling into the Tranquil Time of "Taiwan's West Lake" 🛶✨ When Hsinchu comes to mind, don't just think of the City God Temple's street food! My recent visit to the newly renovated "Qingcao Lake" completely flipped my impression of it. It's no longer the rundown reservoir of my memories, but an urban oasis brimming with Japanese Zen and modern vitality. 🚣♂️ A New Perspective from the Lake Center: Lakeside Swan Boat Experience The absolute most recommended activity is the "swan boat." We opted for the electric swan boat this time (highly recommended to save energy for elegant photo-taking!). Cruising slowly from the center of the lake toward the "Yingyue Bridge," the serenity of being surrounded by lush green mountains instantly made us feel like we'd been transported to a lake park in Japan. Besides swan boats, there's also an ultra-cool SUP experience. Watching people glide across the calm, sparkling waters truly gives off a strong vacation vibe. 📸 A Must for Photographers: Yingyue Bridge and Yufei Island To capture featured-worthy photos, you have to visit the "Yingyue Bridge." This pure white, arched bridge paired with the water below creates minimalist geometric lines that look high-end from any angle. Crossing the bridge leads to "Yufei Island," where the island's vegetation connects with the lakeside trail. Around 4:00 PM, the "golden sunset" acts as the most natural photo filter. 💡 Pro Player Notes (Exclusive Trip Advice): Beat the Heat: We recommend booking a boat slot after 4:30 PM. Not only is the weather cooler, but you can also capture stunning sunset reflections. Food Pairings: After your lake tour, a quick 10-minute drive takes you to the Lakeshore Hotel or downtown, making for a perfectly paced itinerary. Parking & Transport: The park now boasts a well-designed multi-story parking lot, so you won't have to stress about traffic even on weekends. The quality of recreation at Qingcao Lake is extremely high right now, making it perfect for couple dates or letting kids burn off energy. If you're looking for a spot that offers a five-star vacation feel without the long drive, this should definitely be on your weekend bucket list. Taking a lakeside tour of Hsinchu's classic attraction, Qingcao Lake, leaves you amazed by the elegance and tranquility of this reborn reservoir. Stepping onto the newly renovated scenic trails, the most eye-catching sights are the swan boats and SUP paddlers gliding across the water, adding a light, dynamic touch to the serene, green lake. Experiencing the lakeside swan boat is an incredibly stress-relieving sensory delight. We rented an electric swan boat (I genuinely suggest going electric; otherwise, pedaling against the wind is quite exhausting). As the boat slowly leaves the pier, the city's noise feels instantly blocked out by the mountains. Looking back at the shore from the center of the lake offers a completely different perspective than walking the trail—you get an up-close look at the weeping willows along the banks and water birds darting through the reeds. Experience During the cruise, the most recommended angle is looking up at the "Yingyue Bridge" from the water. This pure white scenic bridge spans the lake in an elegant arc, forming a Zen-like ink wash painting with the surrounding mountains and water. As the swan boat slowly passes under the bridge, the laid-back rhythm instinctively makes you put down your phone and simply enjoy the gentle breeze off the lake. Additionally, the lakeside trails around Qingcao Lake are exceptionally well-maintained with gentle slopes, making it easy to complete the walk even with elderly family members or kids. I especially love visiting around 4:00 or 5:00 PM. The lingering sunset glow scatters across the sparkling lake, casting golden reflections of the swan boats—a truly picturesque scene. After your water adventure, don't forget to stroll by the Qingfeng Mingyue Wall and Yufei Island. The island connects to the Yingyue Bridge and is filled with lush greenery, making it a fantastic spot for commemorative photos. Furthermore, the parking space and park entrance flow at Qingcao Lake are much more convenient than before, massively elevating the overall visitor experience. It has long shed its past image of a declining old reservoir and transformed into an exquisite urban oasis. Overall, the swan boat experience at Qingcao Lake is perfect for romantic dates or family outings. You don't need a long road trip; just a single afternoon here is enough to fully recharge your batteries in nature. Still wondering where you can go boating? 🚣 Still wondering where you can ride a bike? 🚴 Hsinchu has a super famous lake! Qingcao Lake! As the name suggests, the massive lake is surrounded by green grass. You can rent swan boats on the lake—both manual and electric options are available! It caters to everyone's needs, and both adults and kids will have a blast. If you're in Hsinchu, you should definitely check it out. There are also plenty of restrooms and food stalls around!

Before you even reach the famous Grandpa Giant Tree at the 5.3K mark, the first half of the Giant Tree Trail is already teeming with breathtaking giant tree species. This section isn't just a path to the sacred trees; it's an immersive showcase of forest canopies and biodiversity. The vegetation along the first section of the trail is incredibly lush. Beyond the widely-known Taiwan Cypress, there are countless "unsung heroes" holding up the entire mountain ecosystem. Within this limited habitat, these colossal trees actively stretch out and compete for every bit of sunlight and nutrients. · Taiwan Cypress: The most common giant protagonist of the trail. Even before you hit the numbered giant tree zones, you'll spot cypresses soaring into the clouds all along the way. The intricate bark textures are perfect for close-up observation👀, but mind your step as the ground can be uneven. · Taiwan Rhododendron: Unlike the bush-like rhododendrons found on the plains, these grow into massive tree-like structures. Their gnarled and twisted branches exude a rugged, vigorous beauty. · The Boundary Between Broadleaf and Coniferous Forests: The first section features numerous massive broadleaf trees mingling with conifers. This creates a stunning visual depth and provides excellent shade🌞. 📍 Top Observation Spots Bamboo Forest Tunnel: 🪄 The bamboo forest you pass through before entering the giant tree cluster may not consist of "giant trees," but the linear beauty of thousands of bamboo stalks creates a visual feast that will make you feel like you've been transported to Arashiyama in Japan. 📍 Beside the Valley Wooden Bridge: Thanks to the abundant moisture here, massive ferns and broadleaf trees thrive, displaying a lush, tropical forest scale that contrasts sharply with the towering Taiwan Cypresses. While the trees in this first section are already spectacular, for goal-oriented hikers, this part of the trail is often just a "warm-up." Make sure to pace yourself and save enough energy for the round trip!

If this journey were a marathon, then YaYa Qparung (Mother Tree/Grandfather Tree) at the 5.3K mark would be the ultimate destination🎯. This sacred tree, over two thousand years old and with a circumference exceeding 20 meters, is not only a spiritual anchor for the Atayal people but also the most awe-inspiring sight on the trail. Following the signs, you'll find the trail's design very logical, with clear milestones every 0.5K. When you reach 5.3K and see the "Mother Tree" stretching out its arms as if embracing the forest, the fatigue from the long trek is instantly healed by the negative ions in the air. Standing before this tree, you just want to linger a little longer. · Precise Mileage Calculation: 🪄 The one-way trail ends at the 5.3K mark where the Grandfather Tree is located🚩. Although most of the trail has a relatively gentle slope, you should still allow sufficient energy and time for the return trip; it is recommended to reach the finish line before 2 PM. · Best Viewing Spot: 🪄 A wooden boardwalk surrounds the area in front of the Mother Tree. Please stay on the boardwalk; this is not only to protect the tree roots but also to show respect for nature. · Warning: There are no toilets or supply stations deep within the 5.3K area. Please make sure you have enough water and supplies in your backpack before setting off, and take advantage of any opportunity to use the restroom along the route. 🚽 Key Observation Points 👀 📍 Mother Tree (Giant Tree): Observe its trunk shape, resembling outstretched arms. In the Atayal language, YaYa means "mother," symbolizing nurturing and protection. Its scale is difficult to fully capture with any wide-angle lens. 📍 Mountain Stream and Wooden Bridge: Several wooden bridges will be crossed on the way to 5.3K. These are the best locations to observe the alpine stream ecosystem. Although only a trickle of water was observed on the day of my visit, the sound of the water still brought a refreshing coolness to the sweaty and restless feeling. ♡ Summary This 5.3K long march was a test of willpower. From the No. 1 giant tree all the way to the very old, ancient tree, witnessing the ages of the trees jump from several hundred years to two thousand years, this sense of time span allowed one to temporarily escape the pressures of work. #FebruaryDestinations2026 #SmancusGiantTreeCluster #Smancus

Our goal for visiting Smangus was clear: not only to conquer the Giant Trees, but also to capture the legendary sea of ​​pink cherry blossoms. Although cherry blossom season was over, we didn't have high expectations. Upon arrival, we found that the cherry blossoms on the main path had indeed faded and new leaves had sprouted. However, the real surprise wasn't in the main quest. Hidden on the lower path to the right leading to the 2.3K Cherry Blossom Garden in the Giant Trees was a whole row of snow-white cherry trees. We had to specifically detour to reach this hidden cherry blossom garden. The cherry blossoms here were currently in full bloom, and the dense cherry blossom tunnel did not disappoint, providing the most delightful surprise of the trip. · Warning: 🪄 Don't blindly follow the crowds on the main path. While there are a few cherry trees scattered along the main path, their density cannot compare to this hidden cherry blossom garden. · The detour is worthwhile: 🪄 Although it requires more effort and time to "detour," seeing that entire pink sky is absolutely worth it. Smangus's cherry blossoms require a bit of luck 🍀. The main path is the norm, but this hidden cherry blossom garden is a treasure discovered only by those who pay close attention. Remember, on the path leading to the giant trees, if you see pink and white petals, boldly "go around"! #FebruaryDestinations2026 #HsinchuAttractions #Smangus #SmangusGiantTrees #SmangusCherryBlossomViewing

If the cherry blossom garden is just a seasonal sugarcoating for God's Tribe, then the New Giant Tree Park is its true soul. This trail is more than just a physical challenge; it's a visual shock that redefines the sheer scale of nature 🪵. This time, we're focusing on documenting 📷 the current conditions from Tree No. 8 to Tree No. 30. As you walk through the park, you'll notice that each giant tree has its own number and unique personality. Starting from Giant Tree No. 8 🌲, the sheer scale of the tree trunks gradually intensifies. The overwhelming sense of being dwarfed by these millennium-old Taiwan red cypresses (and I mean that as a compliment!) is something photos simply can't capture. The trail is well-maintained, though you do need to watch your step in certain sections (like on slippery tree roots)—but then again, nature spots are always at the mercy of the weather. While the numbering system is precise, the distance between some trees might make you question your life choices, wondering, "Why haven't I seen the next number yet?" When that happens, just treat it as a test of patience. Also, some of the information boards are getting a bit worn out, and there are a few skipped numbers, so don't stress over it too much. The moment you finally step out of the forest, the deep satisfaction of "mission accomplished" will likely outshine the aching in your legs from that grueling 10K trek.

(Currently closed) Please visit early next February! This is a campsite combined with a cherry blossom attraction. The cherry blossoms are spectacular, and there is an entrance fee of 100 TWD per person upon arrival. The blooming cherry blossoms form a tunnel, which is incredibly beautiful. At the end of the tunnel, take a turn and go up to find the accommodation area, which includes cabins, camping sites, and more. Be sure to visit during next year's cherry blossom season—highly recommended!

📍Wenshan Trail The newly completed Wenshan Trail is located in Xinpu, Hsinchu. It takes less than 30 minutes to walk from the entrance at Xinyi Electronics to the viewing platform. The trail is flat and shaded, with only the stairs towards the viewing platform being a bit steep, but overall it's very comfortable.✨ A short wooden boardwalk runs alongside the viewing platform, offering views of rice paddies and the passing high-speed rail. However, the tree roots used for the boardwalk are too small in diameter, and the gaps between the logs are too large, making it a bit difficult to walk on. If you have children or pets, it's recommended to carry them to prevent them from slipping and falling into the gaps. ❣️Easy to walk, suitable for families, seniors, and pets. 🗺️ No. 75, Guoxiao Street, Xinpu Township, Hsinchu County, Taiwan 305

#November Destinations 2025 Hsinchu has always been associated with a mountain town, a slow pace of life, and a calm and charming landscape. This time, I specially planned a short trip to Dong'an Old Bridge. There was no particular itinerary, and I wasn't chasing after tourist attractions; I just wanted to find a place to stroll, take photos, and let my mind find peace. And Dong'an Old Bridge is the kind of place where you immediately think, "Yes, this is it." I. First Visit to Dong'an Old Bridge: A Place Hidden by Time Upon arrival, a red brick arch bridge stood quietly in the river valley. There were no noisy tourists, no overly commercialized vendors, only the sound of the wind blowing through the valley and the occasional birdsong. That pure and tranquil atmosphere immediately made the trip worthwhile. Dong'an Old Bridge was built during the Japanese occupation. The entire bridge is constructed of red bricks, with elegant arch lines; each brick seems to bear the marks of time. Although it is no longer open to vehicles, the bridge surface remains intact, and most tourists come to stroll, take photos, and enjoy the scenery. Standing at the bridgehead, the wind on my face was cool and refreshing, carrying a hint of wild mountain grass and trees. At that moment, I could almost feel the bridge's past bustle and present tranquility coexisting. ⸻ II. A Stroll on the Bridge: Every Step an Echo of History Stepping onto the bridge, my pace slowed involuntarily as I walked on the old red bricks. The bridge isn't wide, offering views of the open river and distant mountains on both sides. When the sunlight shone down, the red bricks gained a warm hue; photos needed no editing, every shot looked like a vintage portrait. Walking on it, a strange feeling arose—our present was walking on someone else's past. I imagined this bridge once being an important road for villagers, with people leading cattle, carrying firewood, students rushing to school, and grandmothers returning from the market with their baskets of vegetables. Times have changed, roads have changed, cars have sped up, but the ancient bridge remains, recording this place in the most simple and unpretentious way. On a clear day, sunlight filters through the archway, casting reflections on the river like a watercolor painting. If you enjoy capturing light and shadow and appreciate a vintage atmosphere, you'll find yourself taking countless photos here. ⸻ III. Walk Under the Bridge: The Most Beautiful View is in the Valley If you have time, I highly recommend walking down to the valley below the bridge. The view of the Andong Ancient Bridge from below is far more breathtaking than from the bridge itself. The archway's curve is fully revealed, and the red bricks glow with a warm hue in the sunlight, appearing both classic and sturdy. Standing under the bridge and looking up, you feel a sense of shrinking. The atmosphere of being surrounded by nature and history is like stepping into a movie scene. The valley isn't deep, the stream is clear, and there are plenty of grassy areas and rocks along the banks, perfect for sitting, resting, enjoying the breeze, and listening to the water. If the afternoon light is just right, the bridge's reflection on the water will be postcard-perfect. Several photography enthusiasts also bring tripods here to capture the sunset, as the bridge and mountain scenery blend harmoniously, creating a classic composition. ⸻ IV. Take Your Time: Little Joys on the Journey Andong Old Bridge isn't the kind of place that requires planning or a strict schedule; it's best enjoyed at a slower pace. What I loved most on this trip wasn't the number of photos I took, but rather the small moments: · The warmth of the sunlight on the red bricks · The relaxation of listening to the stream · The freedom of sitting by the bridge, lost in thought · The simple, genuine smiles and nods of local residents I encountered · The feeling of being "surrounded by nature" when the mountain breeze blows Travel doesn't have to be spectacular; sometimes it's just about letting your heart rest. And Andong Old Bridge is that place that brings peace to your soul. ⸻ V. Suggested Nearby Attractions If time permits, you can also combine this with nearby attractions: · Longteng Broken Bridge: Also a red-brick historical site, offering a different historical atmosphere than the Andong Ancient Bridge. · Shengxing Station: A nostalgic railway with a charming, photogenic atmosphere. · Sanyi Old Street: Explore wood carvings, enjoy a coffee, and try some Hakka rice noodles. · Tung Blossom Trail (Seasonally limited to April-May): The mountains are ablaze with tung blossoms, like a snowfall. You don't need a packed itinerary; Hsinchu is perfect for leisurely strolls and exploration. ⸻ VI. Conclusion: A bridge that makes you fall in love with slow travel Dong'an #Dong'anAncientBridge This ancient bridge lacks fancy tourist facilities and excessive marketing, but that's precisely what makes it so charming. It's a quiet, long-standing bridge, its simple presence accompanying this mountain town through every season. For me, the significance of this trip wasn't what I saw, but rather rediscovering the value of "slow living" through this ancient bridge. When you walk on the bridge, watching the scenery and the light dance on the red bricks, you understand: the true beauty of travel lies in allowing you to stop, let go of your worries, and connect with yourself. If you also need a quiet, simple yet charming place, then the Andong Ancient Bridge in Miaoli is definitely worth a visit. #Miaoli #AndongAncientBridge #FamilyWalk #PhotoSpot #HistoricalAndModernBlend #AutumnWinterTravel #Hsinchu #HsinchuHiddenGems #DatePlace #DongAnAnAncientBridge

At an altitude of about 1,500 meters The temperature dropped drastically at night, so cold 🥶 Listened to the tribal tour introduction This place is one of the rare communal systems in Taiwan 😮 Everyone earns a salary of 30,000 NTD The benefits are great, and tuition is free We visited their elementary school and church The school was built by the residents themselves It was beautiful and adorable 😀 After the tour, we checked into the log cabin The room was super spacious 😃 and amazing 👍👍 The two-person room even had two floors 😆 It is said to be the most luxurious accommodation in Smangus But hot water is supplied only at specific times No hot water in the morning was quite painful 😵 Dinner was also delicious with three options I had the half-roast chicken set My mom and sister had pork ribs Both meats were tasty ☺️ My dad chose the hot pot, which was more ordinary

When visiting Emei Township, don't forget to stop by the Twelve Liao Angel Church! This Spanish-style building, featuring a red-tiled roof and arched corridors, was constructed in 1963 by a priest from the United States. However, it gradually fell into disrepair starting in the 1980s due to population migration and other factors. Reconstruction began in 2018, and the restoration was completed in 2021. The church officially opened to the public in June of the following year. Inside the church, you'll find many intricately painted artworks that exude a solemn and serene atmosphere. Outside, there is a garden, a pond, and even a pomelo orchard, making it a tranquil paradise filled with birdsong and fresh air, perfect for soaking in phytoncides! To visit, you must make a reservation in advance. Guided tours are available in the morning and afternoon. The church is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. 📍 No. 23-2, Shierliao, Huguang Village, Emei Township, Hsinchu County

The day we headed to Smangus, the car wound its way deeper into the mountains. Turn after turn, the road twisted endlessly, and the signal gradually disappeared. But it was at the moment the signal vanished that I truly felt I had "arrived" there. After passing through the Taigang Tribe in Jianshi Township, Hsinchu, the journey into the mountains begins. This stretch of road is about 16 kilometers long, consisting entirely of winding mountain paths. The road is narrow, with some sections covered in loose gravel. It’s recommended to drive a four-wheel-drive or a vehicle with higher ground clearance for a safer trip. There are no gas stations or convenience stores along the way, so make sure to refuel and prepare some simple snacks before setting off. If departing from Neiwan, it takes about 2.5 to 3 hours to reach Smangus. Morning departures are ideal, as the mountains tend to get foggy in the afternoon. If you plan to stay overnight, there are a few wooden cabin accommodations in the village that can be booked in advance. Driving down the mountain at night is not recommended due to the dense fog and challenging roads. My first impression of Smangus was its purity. The air is pure, the sky is pure, even time feels pure. The village is small, with wooden houses scattered across the slopes. Children run around outside, and dogs nap lazily in the sunlight. When the wind blows, you can smell the trees. That scent seems to have the power to make you let go of many things. Walking along the trail to the sacred trees, the sound of the forest surrounds you. Sometimes it’s the wind, sometimes it’s the rustling of leaves brushing against each other. As I walked, the world suddenly became very quiet, leaving only the echo of my own breathing. Starting from the entrance of the Giant Tree Trail, it doesn’t take long (about 200 meters) to reach a small grove of cherry blossom trees. Continuing forward for about 2.3 kilometers, you’ll encounter an entire forest of cherry blossoms. That day, I walked and took photos along the way, completing the round trip in about two hours. The mountain breeze was gentle, birdsong filled the air, and the cherry blossoms bloomed softly in the mist. If time allows, it’s best to head up the mountain early to avoid the afternoon fog. The light is softer and more suitable for photography. The night is even more beautiful. The entire sky is filled with stars, so bright it feels unreal. That kind of tranquility makes you want to just sit in front of a wooden cabin and daydream. Doing nothing, just being there, feels like enough. On the way down, the clouds and mist slowly reclaimed the road. I suddenly realized that Smangus is not just "far away"; it’s a place that makes you slow down. There’s a kind of gentleness there that doesn’t require words or sharing. Once you’ve been there, you’ll understand. ⸻ 🌿 Some places are not for sightseeing but for quieting the heart.

Transportation Tips: It is recommended to drive and arrive at the trailhead by 5:30 AM. Otherwise, descending in the dark can be challenging. Must-visit Attractions: Xiakaluo Ancient Trail, Baishi Suspension Bridge, and historical relics left by predecessors. Clothing: It is recommended to wear hiking boots and a light jacket. Food: There are no restaurants or shops on the mountain. Everyone brings a dish to share. I even saw someone carrying a portable stove to cook lamb hot pot 😂 Duration: 11 hours. Even if you are physically fit, the crowd may cause delays and require queuing to ascend.

Nestled in the mountainous area near the border of Emei Township in Hsinchu County and Nanzhuang in Miaoli, lies an old house slowly being reclaimed by nature — the Old & Crazy Café. Vines climb along the walls, and the windows are half-shut, as if time has come to a standstill here. This café was transformed from an old building, preserving the original ruins and traces of time. Yet, it cleverly incorporates glass and wooden structures, allowing light to pour in, creating a poetic sense of "decay with charm." Here, you can enjoy a cup of hand-brewed coffee, admire the artistic vibe of plants climbing the walls, or simply sit quietly, letting the sound of wind and insects replace the urban noise. Every photo taken here resembles a scene from a vintage movie, making it especially appealing to travelers who love old architecture, ruin aesthetics, and the harmony of nature. ☕ Recommended Activities: · Combine your visit with nearby attractions like "Zhudong Catholic Church" and "Wugong Hall." · Visit in the afternoon for the softest lighting, perfect for atmospheric photography. · Explore unique small-scale coffee farms and old house settlements in the vicinity.
