Daguanshan Nature Reserve

　　The Daguanshan Forest Reserve boasts a rich diversity of flora and fauna. It is home to red cypress groves, hinoki cypress, green maple, beech, broadleaf mixed forests, and natural forests. Among them, 22 ancient trees known as “Sacred Trees” have drawn significant attention, with ages ranging from 500 to 3,000 years. These are scattered along a 3.7-kilometer scenic walking trail. Species such as red cypress, beech, hinoki cypress, Formosan black bear, macaque, Mikado pheasant, and Formosan sambar deer have been listed as nationally protected species.

　　Not only is the wildlife diverse, but the facilities within the Daguanshan Forest Reserve are also well-developed. The park features a Nature and Ecology Interpretation Center that displays images and specimens of various plants and animals, along with guided interpretation services. Other amenities include walking trails, a cypress-scented path, and Daguanshan Pavilion, all of which provide great convenience for visitors to rest and relax.
