Enjoying a tranquil afternoon at Tsui Cafe in Jianshi Township, gazing at the misty mountain scenery. This time, the visit was inspired by the afternoon tea at this popular café.

#Hsinchu Sakura #Sakura #Sharp Rock Jianshi, Hsinchu in spring, is an underrated secret spot for cherry blossom viewing. Different from the bustling flower season in the city, Jianshi has a more tranquil and primitive touch. Especially the Simakus tribe hidden in the mountains, with an altitude of more than 1,500 meters, is planted with thousands of cherry trees. When the flowers bloom all over the mountain, the pink sea of ​​flowers blooms in the clouds, interweaving with the mountains to form a dreamy picture, making people feel as if they are in fairyland. Winding up from the foot of the mountain, you can see towering trees, streams and magnificent mountain scenery along the way. Even though the mountain road is rugged, it adds the fun of adventure to the journey. Walking under the cherry blossom forest, the breeze blows gently, and the petals fall with the wind, it is peaceful and romantic. Compared to the bustling flower-viewing spots, Jianshi is more suitable for travelers who want to slow down and quietly appreciate nature. Not only can you enjoy the flowers, but you can also experience the Aboriginal culture, visit the skywalk and waterfalls. It is an excellent secret place that combines nature and humanity. This trip to Jianshi not only brought me beautiful scenery, but also spiritual enrichment.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Lidong Mountain is located at the junction of Hsinchu County and Taoyuan City, with an altitude of 1,914 meters. It is one of the 100 Small Peaks in Taiwan. Transportation is quite simple. It takes about 1 hour to drive from Neiwan Old Street into the mountains. Lidong Mountain is also known as Lidong Mountain. Perhaps the Lidong Villa at the entrance of the mountain caused misunderstanding and gave rise to the nickname Lidong Mountain. There are two trail entrances at Lidong Mountain. We chose the one at Lidong Villa. The view at the top of the mountain is good, and you can overlook the magnificent mountain scenery such as Dabajian Mountain, Snow Mountain, Shenglingxian, and Nanhu Mountain. On the way back, we visited Li Dong Villa, which was wider than we had imagined. It was like a Taiwanese version of Howl's Moving Castle. The villa was filled with countless sundries and the entire building was assembled from a variety of materials. The villa had a unique shape but still retained a sense of conflicting beauty.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Najie Mountain is 1,520 meters above sea level and is located at the junction of Fuxing Township, Taoyuan County and Jianshi Township, Hsinchu County. It is across the Dahan River from Nanchatian Mountain and is collectively known as the Fuxing Three Peaks together with Fuwu Mountain and Fuxing Peak. The name of the mountain comes from the former Atayal settlement, Najieshe, which means "arrow bamboo" in Chinese. The route in the Najie Mountain area is a primitive forest trail with many sections of root climbing, wall climbing, and rope pulling. This time is the azalea blooming season, and the azaleas on the mountain trail are either blooming on the treetops or lying lazily on the mountain road. What is even more touching is the mountain elf crystal orchid, which makes all the tiredness disappear at the sight of it. The ghost orchid is a mountain elf. You may need to look for it carefully, or you may encounter it unexpectedly, but what is certain is that people who are walking fast cannot see it, at least they cannot see its beauty. We were lucky enough to see the wonderful sight of the sea of ​​clouds and waterfalls when we reached the top!

【Xia Ka Luo Ancient Road】 Location ⛰️ Located in Wufeng Township and Jianshi Township of Hsinchu County, the route is about 1,000-1,500 meters above sea level. It combines aboriginal relics, historical forest trails, and autumn and winter red leaf scenery.

Transportation You can drive to Qingquan Village in Wufeng Township and park there, or take a bus to Zhudong Transfer Station and then charter a car to the trailhead. It is recommended to arrange transportation in advance. Personal experience 🤍 Stepping onto the forest trail in the drizzle, it was my first time to climb a mountain with a load. Every step was an adaptation and a whisper to history. The leaves are not yet in full bloom, but the moist mountain paths and the quiet atmosphere make people slow down. There was no signal at night, only the dim light beside the tent and the laughter of new friends. Even though the weather was bad, my heart was filled with pure joy because I felt the present moment. Walking through Xiakaluo, I am more convinced that being able to embrace the present moment in the mountains is the greatest wealth. #AprilGoodDestinations2025

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The Yu-Lao Observation Deck is located at the 20-kilometer section of County Road 60 in Hsinchu, at an altitude of approximately 1,450 meters.

Due to the low temperature at high altitude, there is a breeze during the hot summer, and nearby you can also taste the most delicious high mountain stinky tofu. In the afternoon, I went to the Magic House for some beautiful photos and a relaxing afternoon tea. The full name of the Magic House is the Magic House Scenic Restaurant; it is a blue castle full of romance. Because it is located in the deep mountains and forests of Jianshi Township, Hsinchu, you can see the beautiful mountains of the entire Jianshi Township, and you can also lie on the big lawn and look at the white clouds playing in the blue sky. 💰Per capita consumption: Free admission to Yulao Observation Deck Tickets for the Magic House are 100 yuan

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The Eagle Creek Ecological Trail is located in Yufeng Village, Jianshi Township, Hsinchu County. The trail entrance is next to Yufeng Elementary School.

The trail is flat and easy to walk along, and the surrounding mountain scenery is magnificent and pleasant.
