Wuling Farm

　　   Wuling Farm is situated in the valley of the Qijiawan Stream, covering an area of 772 hectares at an altitude of 1,740–2,100 meters. It is a highland farm managed by the Veterans Affairs Council. Sheltered by surrounding mountains, the farm enjoys cool summers and mild winters, making it suitable not only for growing a variety of temperate fruits, high-altitude vegetables, and tea, but also for developing into a pleasant year-round resort destination.

　　   The farm’s agricultural produce is most famous for Zhongjin white peaches, Fuji apples, and “Fairy Peach Brand” cabbage, collectively known as the “Five Treasures of Wuling” along with the white-necked crow and the Formosan landlocked salmon. In recent years, to comply with reforestation policies and to preserve a pristine habitat for the Formosan landlocked salmon, Wuling Farm has gradually reduced its farming area and transitioned toward forest recreation.

　　   Accessing the farm involves turning onto Wuling Road from the Yilan Branch of the Central Cross-Island Highway, passing through Baifu, Qianxiang, and Wanshou Bridges to reach the main farm area. Thanks to meticulous landscaping by the farm management, visitors can enjoy blossoms all year round—from spring mountain cherries, azaleas, peach blossoms, and apple blooms, to summer paulownias, autumn cosmos, and winter plum blossoms. These floral displays are complemented by lush green canopies and the sapphire-like waters of the Qijiawan Stream, creating a rich tapestry of colors. In autumn, a stunning array of maple, maple-leaf-like, and ginkgo trees paint the landscape in hues from golden yellow and crimson to deep purple, adding dazzling brilliance to the scenery.

　　   As you follow the winding trails uphill, the views only get better—offering not only a full panorama of the farm but also sweeping vistas of the surrounding mountains. The trail ends at Taoshan Waterfall, which is about 50 meters long, graceful and slender, with cool, crystal-clear water. Often shrouded in clouds and mist, the waterfall is mostly heard rather than seen, hence its nickname “Smoke-Sounding Waterfall.”
