Couple Trees
One of Taiwan’s renowned sacred trees and also a tourist attraction on the New Central Cross-Island Highway. Situated in the Tatachia section of the highway in Xinyi Township, Nantou County, within the boundaries of Yushan National Park, it lies along the mandatory route to the Yushan climbing trailhead, making it especially prominent. The Couple Trees consist of two paired, deceased red cypress trees that form a striking sacred tree landscape. They perished in a forest fire in 1963 and were later struck by lightning in 1996, bearing similarities to the former appearance of the Sacred Tree of Alishan. Today, the Couple Trees are one of the popular attractions in Yushan National Park.
The Couple Trees are part of a national-level forest park.
