Introduction to Gear-Free Camping in Nantou
Everyone knows about Nantou’s beautiful mountains and clear waters, but how can you truly enjoy this serene forest? Why not embark on a camping trip hidden away in the mountains? This camping site, tucked between the mountains in Zhushan, Nantou, not only boasts misty mountain views, vast grasslands, and starry skies, but also offers essential gear-free camping services for lazy campers — giving you a taste of Glamping (Glamorous Camping)!
What’s it like to stay at a gear-free campsite in Nantou?
Many might think that outdoor camping means hassle with setting up tents and sleeping on hard ground — but don’t worry about any of that here. Because gear-free Glamping is all about easy, hands-off camping. That’s why Shan Si Yun Xiang, the gear-free campsite in Nantou, specifically uses LOTUS BELLE luxury star-shaped canopy tents and CANVAS CAMP shrine tents. Not only will you stay comfortably, but you’ll also get Insta-worthy photos with a one-second feel of a foreign holiday vibe.

The most unique aspect of Shan Si Yun Xiang’s gear-free camping is that it combines nature-related “forest life aesthetics” activities. You can join bamboo weaving experiences, forest yoga, and more. It’s not just camping — it’s a chance to deeply breathe and relax with nature itself. This is definitely the newest way to go lazy camping this year.
If you’re into DIY crafts, sign up for the bamboo weaving workshop. Experts will teach you how to make your own creations. Currently open sessions are on 12/14 and 12/31, with a special bonus of unlimited beer during the New Year’s Eve event.
