TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – As winter is here now, it’s the best time to visit a couple of places in Hualien’s Shoufeng Township famed for their postcard scenery of deciduous cypress trees at this time of year, according to a Central News Agency (CNA) report on Wednesday.
These places include Yunshanshui (雲山水), Yu Zhan Miao Pu (鈺展苗圃), and Promisedland Resort and Lagoon (理想大地渡假飯店) . All three places are located in the county’s Shoufeng Township.
Yunshanshui, which means “cloud, mountain, Water” in Mandarin, became famed after a drink advert was filmed there. A lake lying at the center of the land is surrounded by deciduous cypress trees. The reflection of the red and yellow leaves of the trees on the lake has visitors feel like they are in a different country than Taiwan, the report said.
The scenery of the deciduous cypress forest at Yu Zhan Miao Pu is hailed as equally mesmerizing as that of Yunshanshui after it went viral on the Internet, thus attracting crowds of visitors, according to the report. [FULL STORY]
