2025 Ren'ai Township Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 It was already past four in the afternoon when a family of five climbed the main peak of Hehuan Mountain. They walked back to the Wuling parking lot and drove to the trailhead to pick up the whole family. Our destination for tonight is camping. I originally wanted to book a camping spot near Cingjing Farm, but the fee for a camping site is NT$1,200-1,500 on holidays, a price I cannot accept. In fact, the prices of camping areas across Taiwan have more than doubled, from the original 600-800 yuan to the current price, just like the housing prices, there is no going back. If the price is at this level, we might as well spend a little more money to stay in a hotel. Of course, camping has its own fun and we will only look for camping areas with reasonable prices. Back then, I had discussed with my wife that we should look for a suitable place to camp along the way. Later, we saw a parking lot at the Yuanfeng Rest Stop on the side of the road. The site looked safe, and some people had already camped there. This place is actually the Yuanfeng Tourist Service Center, but the service center does not seem to be open. However, there is a sink and toilet next to it, which is exactly what we need. If we are in a hurry at night, at least we don’t have to run into the bushes, which is cleaner, cleaner and safer. There is a large unfinished terrace right in front of the parking lot, and there is an L-shaped concrete ground next to it. At first I thought it was a camping site, but later I found out that the concrete ground was used by fruit and vegetable vendors for business, but they had already closed their stalls. After unloading the camping equipment and setting up the tent, we started to prepare dinner. Later, other tourists also chose to camp here. After eating, the children played with the children in other camps. The Yuanfeng Visitor Service Center is located at 24.3 kilometers on Provincial Highway 14A, with an altitude of 2,750 meters. The area here is also within the Hehuanshan Dark Sky Park. There is an astronomy enthusiast right next to our campsite. His astronomical telescope alone may be more expensive than a car. At around three or four o'clock in the morning, the parking lot was suddenly filled with the noise of cars and people, making it impossible for everyone to sleep. I was about to get up and curse, but then I heard the tour guide introducing the origin of this dark sky park and explaining astronomical constellations. Only then did I realize that this was a group of tourists participating in the sunrise at Hehuan Mountain. After about half an hour of explanation, they headed towards Hehuan Mountain and prepared to climb the main peak of Hehuan Mountain to enjoy the sunrise. In fact, I had no peace the whole night because the parking lot is close to the road and there were motorcycles and cars whizzing by all night long, so I couldn't sleep well. Who said Hehuan Mountain is so friendly to the people. But this place can indeed save some money and the main point is safety. In the morning, the vendors will start business and ask campers to pack up their tents and prepare for business. This is another unforgettable memory left by our camping trip. (20191027)

Address: No. 235-1, Renhe Road, Renai Township, Nantou County Atmosphere/Facilities: Over 2,300 meters above sea level, starry sky at night, rich ecology Features: Campsite rental, no tent required, campervan Price: 3300-4600 yuan Rating: This campground is located at an altitude of more than 1,200 meters on the road from Cingjing Farm to Dark Sky Park. In addition to campsite rentals, it also provides free tent camping areas (weekdays: 3,300 yuan) and large camper vans converted from public buses. (Weekdays: 4,600 yuan) The camping area has shared bathrooms, and it is dark to go to the toilet at night. Tourists who are used to city life need to get used to it! In addition, the ecological conservation of the camp is also related to the farming and fertilization of the farmland by a tribe living below. At night, many small insects can easily run into the tent due to their inertia of attraction to light, and during the day, there will be the trouble of flies. As soon as we arrived at the camping area we saw two full fly boards. Tourists who are very concerned about the camp environment should enter with caution. The tents are similar to those in other non-tent camping sites, but electric blankets are provided due to the high altitude. However, there is still a certain gap between the texture of the indoor and outdoor dining areas and that of the luxury camping tent. Camping tent for four: 3,300 yuan/weekday night, no meals provided, and the public bathroom facilities are average. But the equipment is quite complete. Compared to the lower altitude Taiping Mountain in Taichung, it is quiet. Jinyushu Four-person Tent: 5,800 yuan/2 people on holidays (afternoon tea, buffet dinner, buffet breakfast included). The equipment is just as complete and the cleanliness is about the same. The quiet facilities in the mountains are of better quality, with fewer mosquitoes and food provided. Check-out time is still 11 o'clock. The price difference between the two is 2,600 yuan, you can compare it yourself. Campervans are modified buses with larger spaces, TVs but with poor signal, air conditioning and heating, and private bathrooms. Because of the tightness of the car body, mosquitoes and flies will also fly in, and there are quite a lot of flies in the bathroom. There are 2 double beds with electric blankets and heating. Weekdays: 4,600 yuan, no meals provided. Compared with the imported camper van with three meals at Zhuolan Jushe, the holiday price is 7,800 yuan/two people. Provides dinner for two and buffet breakfast. The body of the Orange House has good tightness and the sleeping environment inside the car is more comfortable. Although it is not as spacious as a bus. Go for a small and exquisite style. The same is true of the equipment level and environment gap. You can compare the price difference of 3200 yourself. In general, the service in Karl Town is friendly and considerate, but the camping facilities are ordinary, there is no food provided, and there are problems with mosquitoes and flies getting into tents and cars. There are also many mosquitoes outside. However, the temperature at high altitudes is cool and comfortable, there is less light pollution, and you can see the stars at night. Suitable for travelers who like to accept nature, but those who pay too much attention to urban environment should choose this hotel with caution. I also felt that the campground was a little on the expensive side, not sure if it was because it was summer or because the maintenance costs were higher in the mountains! The price is higher than other campsites of the same level. #familytravel #hotsummerdestinations

#favouriteitinerary #familytravel #naturalwonders If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in Taiwan, my favorite itinerary includes a stay at Huangqing Orchard Homestay in Ren’ai Township. Nestled at 2,000 meters above sea level near Cingjing Farm, this charming countryside escape is surrounded by lush lawns, fruit trees, and vibrant flower gardens. The homestay’s sprawling 2,000-square-meter property feels like a slice of paradise, with its American-style buildings blending seamlessly into the natural landscape. The orchard grows a variety of temperate fruits like peaches, pears, and honey apples, all lovingly tended by the kind Mr. Huangqing. While fruit picking isn’t allowed, guests can purchase fresh produce or enjoy homemade jams during breakfast. One of the highlights is the DIY dinner experience, where you can barbecue, cook, or brew tea using the provided tools, with fresh high-mountain cabbage supplied by the hosts. It’s a fun and interactive way to bond with family or friends. The ever-changing seasonal landscapes, reminiscent of the European countryside, make it a picturesque spot for relaxation and photography.

The standard meal for tourists in Taiwan seems to be "Jiang Zai Ji" Going up the mountain is to eat chicken🤣 On the way to Cingjing There are chicken in jars everywhere, and the most popular Dai cuisine is I saw the glass house building on the road and was attracted to it❤️ We were the first group of guests, so we looked around.

#Taiwan City Attractions Cingjing Farm is located in Ren'ai Township, Nantou County, Taiwan, with an altitude of approximately 1,700 to 2,000 meters. Together with Wuling Farm and Fushoushan Farm, it is known as one of the three major alpine farms in Taiwan and is known as the "Taiwan Alps." The green grassland at an altitude of 1,800 meters is the most beautiful piece of pure land in Cingjing Farm. The Qingqing Grassland was formerly a primeval forest. Later it was developed into a livestock breeding area and became the current Qingqing Grassland. Unfortunately, there was thick fog when we went out, and we were unable to see the green grassland and the blue sky. 📍Address: No. 170, Renhe Road, Datong Village, Renai Township, Nantou County 🕒Business hours: 8:00 am to 5:00 pm daily 🎫Tickets: NT$160 on weekdays, NT$200 on holidays

Address: No. 46, Rongguang Lane, Renai Township, Nantou County Atmosphere/Facilities: The room has a balcony with a view and a buffet breakfast Features: Wooden cabin with a view, you can see the sea of ​​clouds and the starry sky, and family-themed rooms Price: 2500 Rating: Compared with many B&Bs in Cingjing, the geographical location is relatively low, but the temperature difference between day and night is still quite large. Many tourists bring their children to Cingjing to escape the summer heat. There are elegant double rooms with views and double-story family rooms with recreational facilities. The atrium square has simple art installations and beautiful mountain views for taking photos. Many succulents are planted in public spaces. The rooms are clean and tidy, very simple and simple. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, and refrigerators are only provided in family rooms. The bed is of average hardness, but for a B&B at this price, cleanliness and tidiness are the most important considerations. The bathroom in the double room with a view is separated into dry and wet areas and is very comfortable. Amenities are provided for travelers to use. The most worthwhile thing is the balcony with a view, where you can leisurely swing on the swing and have a cup of tea. For the family room, we had the One Piece theme room. The slide was poorly designed and the entrance was too shaky. Some children will be scared and easily get hurt, and the angle in the middle of the slide is too flat, so they can get stuck easily. The non-slip slide becomes a bomb shelter for children. The mattress in the loft is suitable for the whole family to sleep together. The bathroom design is disappointing. Compared with a double room. Breakfast is buffet style with not many items. The seasoning and freshness are still okay. In addition to milk and milk tea, there is also an automatic coffee machine for drinks. #familytravel #goodplaceforparentsandchildren #goodplaceforsummer

Address: No. 1 and No. 6, Wu'an Road, Renai Township, Nantou County Facilities: cabin camping area, plank camping area, bathroom facilities Features: Aboriginal tribal nature experience Yun's hometown, a popular campground within the Wujie tribe! There are areas for pallets and tents to be set up and areas for wooden houses to be set up without tents. The social area and refrigerator area at the entrance of the campground are the camp owner's residence. If you have any questions, you can contact her! He is very cheerful and enthusiastic, and will talk about the martial arts tribes in great detail! We live in a tent-free wooden hut area, with a dining table and sink nearby to provide a place for cooking and barbecue. The car can be parked in the open space next to the cabin and it is very convenient to unload luggage! Ingredients need to be sealed and refrigerated for storage. It is recommended that the temperature drops after sunset before opening the barbecue and cooking! We opened it too early this time and the number of flies was terrible! According to the camp owner, the nearby farmland uses chicken manure as fertilizer, so there are especially many flies before the sun goes down! Just gluing on the fly board only requires four pieces! You have to wait until sunset to start grilling! We had to start the fire to prepare the preparatory work for grilling. Since there is a tin table, we can use the smallest simple barbecue grill with carbon fiber! After the barbecue, you can use it as a small campfire to keep warm! The temperature difference at night is quite big! The bathroom equipment is clean and smell-free, and the water pressure and temperature are adequate! #仁爱 #武界

Nice environment and special food. We ordered the beef soup, the tomato pork noodles and fresh cabbage with (wrapping) stir fried pork. The beef soup is refreshing with a mint flavor. It comes with a specialty source. A very unique flavor which we love it. Fresh cabbage with stir fried pork is super great combination. The stir fried pork is a little spicy with herbs taste while the fresh cabbage is refreshing. The combination is just awesome! Worth trying.
