[2025 Nantou Attraction] Travel Guide for Wuling (Updated Jul)

Travel to Cingjing I highly recommend driving 40 minutes further towards Wuling. Don’t just watch the sheep walking on the trail in Cingjing anymore All drove all the way to Cingjing... The scenery along the way to Wuling is so beautiful and shocking! There are several spots to relax There is a night sky park (Yufeng Observation Deck) where you can see the stars at night.

Because I was with my elders, they couldn't walk for a long time, so I got off the car and moved around at the right time. It's a great experience Because it is autumn, it is recommended to bring a light down jacket to keep warm. You can chase snow in winter ~ remember to equip yourself with snow chains I hope I can go to Wuling to catch the sunrise next time. #Good place for parents and children #Wuling #Hehuanshan Highway》 #Nature Journey

Friends who love riding motorcycles must conquer Wuling once in their life. The first time I rode, my butt hurt. It was really tiring, but it was really beautiful. You will pass through Qingjing before going to Wuling. In fact, Qingjing’s altitude is already high enough. If you want to see the scenery, Qingjing is quite beautiful. However, Qingjing is not high enough, so it is still very hot in summer. If you want to enjoy the cool feeling, keep climbing! In fact, I recommend a motorcycle over a car, because driving is prone to traffic jams and motorcycles are more convenient, but driving is still more comfortable. There are no shops in Wuling anymore, so prepare some food before going up. It is recommended that you eat something quiet before going up the mountain. There are many shops and restaurants at the highest 7-11. The mountain-produced roast chicken is also great. Eat until you are 80% full and bring some snacks with you when you go up the mountain! It is not recommended to eat a full meal, because Wuling is a bit high. If you are too full, you may feel uncomfortable climbing the mountain. People with poor health should also be careful about altitude sickness. It is best to take a rest after riding and go up when you are feeling better. If you are not in good health, you don’t have to go to the top. There are viewing platforms along the way. Every view is absolutely beautiful. There are also some fallen pine cones on the road, and squirrels crawling around and appearing and disappearing mysteriously. If you are lucky enough to sit in the back seat of the car, try your best to take in the scenery with your eyes! Motorcycle riders often come here to conquer, so occasionally you will meet riders wearing special clothes, which is very interesting! Be polite and say hello to him and take a photo. You can see stone faults on the top of the mountain, and the rocks here are also very distinctive. However, when traveling, remember to maintain your level and not take away any stones or trees, so that nature can have a better cycle! If the weather is good, you can see the mountains and rivers. This is the highest point in Hehuan Mountain that can be reached by car. You can overlook the mountains and it is also suitable for stargazing. If you want to challenge Wuling, a motorcycle is really suitable, but you will have to ride until your butt hurts. However, it is worth the trip if you can take this Wuling photo. P.S. It was very fast to go down the mountain. We reached Qingjing in about half an hour. But be careful not to go too fast, otherwise your ears will hurt. #LocalTourism #Good Places for Families

#newyearadventure #nantou #taiwan #wuling #scenic #mountains #view #hiking If you are someone who love the views high up in the mountains, you shouldn't miss wuling which is just a short drive up from cingjing and also on the way down towards hualien. Wuling is in taroko national park, where driving can be abit scary due to the narrow roads but it's a 2 way traffic. And if the sky is clear, you be able to see gorgeous unblock views of Taiwan mountainous region. Wuling is 3070m high where the air can be thin, so take sometime to explore this place slowly, there is a hike up, away from the main area which bring you to another part of wuling where the cars can't go.

The altitude here is very high. If you come here in the morning, you can see the beautiful sea of ​​clouds. In winter, you may see snow. Therefore, many tourists come here in winter. There is a parking lot where you can park. It is very cold in winter. It is recommended to wear more clothes. #Local Tour

I originally wanted to go to Wuling to watch the stars, but the fog was so heavy that I couldn’t see the stars or the sunrise. In addition, Taiwan’s humid and cold climate, coupled with the 0-degree temperature on the mountain, really made me almost cry with cold. Hahaha, but it’s quite rare to feel such cold temperatures in Taiwan, it’s very fresh! The air smells really good in the morning.

Wuling, known as the crown of Taiwan's highways, stands proudly at an altitude of 3,275 meters. It is also referred to as "Silver Ridge" by the older generation—a black-and-white mountain ridge that quietly unfolds through the seasons. This is not a mountain peak itself but a road forged by the collaboration of high mountains and human civilization, a minimalist yet majestic realm in the sky. What captivates me most about Wuling is the way it "instantly rewrites your perception of nature." As you drive up to the parking lot, the air suddenly thins, and your field of vision dramatically expands. Standing next to the landmark stone, overlooking the sapphire sky, the layered mountain ridges, and the rolling sea of clouds in the distance, your heartbeat seems to stretch, and time feels as if it has been pulled apart. For cyclists, this place is even more of a soul-forging ground—the finish line of the King of the Mountain Challenge. Iron-willed riders conquer the final winding slopes of the mountain to toast with the sky. Wuling is not the cover of a scenic spot but a silent classroom where one learns to simultaneously look up and breathe in the grandeur of the mountains. It teaches you that altitude can humble your steps and broaden your mind. And when the mist flows beneath your feet, it is precisely the moment you rediscover yourself.

Travel to Taiwan #taiwantrip

In this busy era, you need to relax yourself occasionally and go up the mountain to absorb energy. On the way to Hehuan Mountain, you can also go to Qingjing Farm to feed the sheep🐑 and watch them eating grass and being chased by sheepdogs. Stay overnight and you can continue to go up the mountain to Wuling and Hehuan Mountain the next day⛰️ Note‼ ️The weather on the mountain changes greatly, remember to bring thick clothes! #Nantou #Qingjing #Wuling #Hehuan Mountain

Climbing up Hehuan Mountain, the sea of ​​clouds is like a poem and a painting. Wuling is full of magnificent mountains and the oncoming alpine atmosphere, which makes people hold their breath and concentrate. Standing at the highest point of Taiwan Highway, looking far away, the world is vast, and the mind seems to expand with it. In the evening, the mountaintops are gradually dyed with golden orange glow, and the night falls in a blink of an eye. We came to Hehuan Mountain International Dark Sky Park to welcome the feast of stars. The sky is full of stars, and the Milky Way crosses the sky like a ribbon. At that moment, it seems to be in the embrace of the universe, tiny but extremely shocking. This trip is not only to enjoy the scenery, but also a baptism of dialogue with nature, which makes people feel awe and deeply moved by the magnificence and eternity of the world. #5月好去处2025

In April this year, a total of 14 of my climbing teammates and I went to Taiwan for a week-long tour of central Taiwan. I was very happy that my teammates also helped me celebrate my birthday. We enjoyed the delicious food and beautiful scenery every day in a joyful atmosphere, leaving behind some wonderful memories.

During the cycling trip in Wuling, every breath and every step is a profound dialogue with one's own soul and a spiritual fusion with this land. When the fresh air enters your lungs, you seem to feel the pulse of nature and resonate with the surrounding mountains, rivers and trees. Every time you inhale, you absorb the energy of the land; every time you exhale, you give your voice back to the earth. The moment I stepped on the bike, the contact between the tire and the ground was like a spiritual connection, which made me realize that this was not only a physical challenge, but also an exploration of the soul. Every step is like a dialogue with one's inner self, exploring the hidden strength and courage. This feeling made me understand more deeply that the cycling journey is not only an appreciation of the scenery, but also a re-understanding and reflection on oneself. In this beautiful land, every breath and step I take is a cleansing of the soul, connecting me closely with every inch of nature, interweaving into a moving picture. #2月好地方2025

During the cherry blossom season in March, you can see cherry blossom trees everywhere. It is exciting and fun to ride a bike on the mountain at night, but remember to bring enough clothes when going up the mountain!

I went to Wuling when it was not a holiday, and suddenly I felt that this was always a gloomy and cold place. Was it because I came here at the wrong time? Although I didn't see snow, I was still very happy

I often see many news reports about motorcycle tours around the island, and I always regard Wuling as a must-visit attraction. I also choose to join the one-day Wuling tour on weekends. Standing on the archway of Wuling, looking at the spectacular and beautiful scenery, breathing the clean air, I felt that all the worldly things were forgotten. After taking the check-in photos, I went to the 7-11 at the highest altitude to eat instant noodles and tea eggs, and prepared to return.
