Taiwan boasts numerous trails lined with various trees, each seasonal change bringing a unique landscape—like wandering as a forest sprite, sometimes fresh and natural, other times beautifully romantic. Below are four stunning tree sea trails where you can immerse yourself in nature and feel your steps grow lighter.

1. Taiwan Adventist College
Located in Nantou, Taiwan Adventist College is a hidden gem near Sun Moon Lake. The towering welcoming trees at the entrance stand straight and proud, while the campus features vast green lawns, brick-red school buildings, and rows of benches on the grass, resembling an outdoor pasture theater—creating an intimate, nature-immersed academic atmosphere.

2. Tianwei Garden Highway
Recently, Tianwei Garden Highway in Changhua has gained popularity for its Taiwanese version of pampas grass, but not far away lies another spot—a forest filled with small-leaved lagerstroemia. In the cool autumn breeze, the delicate bluish-green leaves sway gently atop the branches, filling the scene with a fresh, poetic ambiance.

3. Mengzong Bamboo Ancient Battlefield
The Mengzong Bamboo Forest Ancient Battlefield in Lugu, Nantou, was originally created during the Japanese colonial period when locals built an irrigation channel for easier water access. With its crystal-clear water and lush bamboo groves, the tranquil trail exudes a subtle Japanese Zen charm. Along the path, stairs lead to the “Mengzong Bamboo Forest Ancient Battlefield,” the site of the Lin Shuangwen Rebellion, steeped in historical mystery.

4. Xinwei Forest Park
Situated in Liugui, Kaohsiung, Xinwei Forest Park features a mahogany avenue stretching approximately 2 kilometers. Around Tomb-Sweeping Festival each year, the green leaves along the avenue turn golden-yellow, creating a dense canopy interwoven with fallen leaves on the path—forming a tree sea tunnel that’s perfect for strolling and photography.
