The Appeal of Self-Driving: Visit Lesser-Known Scenic Spots at Your Own Pace

5 Hidden Nature Spots

Spot 1: Lala Mountain's Ancient Trees

Lala Mountain National Forest Recreation Area is located in the Baling area of Fuxing District, Taoyuan City. The Atayal tribe in Upper Baling calls this area "Balung," which means "cypress" or "giant fallen tree." The name "Lala" is a transliteration from the Atayal language "R’ra," meaning "beautiful," "amazing," or "overlooking." This area was historically a lookout point for hunting and defense, and the rich cypress resources and biodiversity here are astonishing.

Spot 2: Serene Scenery of Cuifeng Lake

Cuifeng Lake, located between Taiping Mountain and Dayuan Mountain in Yilan County, sits at an altitude of 1,840 meters and is the largest alpine lake in Taiwan. Its beauty changes with the time of day and throughout the seasons. The trailhead is about a 40-minute drive from Taiping Villa, and the entrance is located at the 15.5 km mark of Cuifeng Scenic Road. The 3.95 km trail surrounding the lake offers seasonal experiences, from the fresh greens of spring to autumn leaves and winter snow. Much of the trail is rarely trafficked, allowing the original ecological environment to remain preserved.

Spot 3: The Cloud Sea of Alishan

The sunrise breaks through the morning mist, revealing an ocean of clouds that leaves a deep impression. When you think of Alishan, what image comes to mind first? Among Alishan's famous "Five Wonders," three of them are sky phenomena—sunrise, sunset, and the sea of clouds—scenes you can't afford to miss! Taiping Suspension Bridge, Xiding Er Yanping Trail, Xiaogeshan Scenic Platform, and Ciyun Observation Deck are great spots to watch the cloud sea, but the best view of the cloudfall can only be seen from Taiping Suspension Bridge and Xiding Er Yanping Trail!

Spot 4: Sunset by the Sea at Sanxiantai, Taitung

At dawn, the Eight-Arch Cross-Sea Bridge and the ocean are bathed in golden light, with the clouds creating an ever-changing display. Welcoming the first rays of the sun at Sanxiantai is a blissful experience. The Eight-Arch Cross-Sea Bridge connects Sanxiantai and the mainland, making it a popular landmark along the east coast. Visitors can easily explore the original landscape of Sanxiantai Island, and while the island tour takes about two hours, the geological features and legends make the journey worthwhile.
