Located on the Shengmu Mountain Villa National Trail in Jiaoxi, Yilan, the entrance is near the well-known Wufeng Waterfall. With an elevation drop of about 700 meters, it’s a bit challenging but worth it. The layered mountains covered in green grass resemble a tiramisu dusted with matcha powder—extremely healing. It also offers a million-dollar view of the Lanyang Plain. A climb to the top is absolutely worthwhile.
