The mysterious place of bald cypress is like a fairyland - Hualien Yunshanshui Fantasy Lake
#forest #100 ways to travel
When I traveled to Hualien in the past, I would make a special trip to the secret place #云山水 hidden in the Shoufeng forest. After walking through the rice field paths and palm groves, I came to #梦幻湖. A corner of the lakeside is planted with a whole area of bald cypress forests, growing beside the water. Walking in the forest is like being in a fairyland, super dreamy.
Ever since the commercial for Heysong Soda was aired, Yunshanshui Fantasy Lake has become a popular tourist attraction, and even the number of homestays by the lake has increased. The emerald green bald cypress forest is reflected in the water, and as the sun shines, it presents a dreamy change of light and shadow, like the scenery on a European postcard.
The most beautiful season to appreciate bald cypress is actually from December to January. When the weather changes from autumn to winter, the bald cypress forest will also change from emerald green to golden red. The lake view and mountain mist with layered colors are ethereal and quiet, as if you are in a secret place in Europe. It is highly recommended.
In addition to bald cypress, there are also a variety of palm trees planted around the park, as well as plants that bloom seasonally, broad-leaved forests, etc. The park has different scenery throughout the year and is well worth a visit. However, there are a lot of small black mosquitoes in Yunshanshui, so you need to spray mosquito repellent in advance to avoid being bitten.
✓ Transportation: Drive to Shoufeng Township Provincial Highway 11C. When you see the big windmill at 14 kilometers, turn right and enter the field path. It will take about 1 minute to arrive.
