Fangyuan is located in the northern part of Miaoli and is one of the two major towns in the Zhunan alluvial plain. With fertile land and thriving agriculture and industry, it is also home to Yonghe Mountain Reservoir—the first natural reservoir in Taiwan without sluice gates or water barriers. Set aside some time to bring your family to Fangyuan for a visit!

The Yonghe Mountain Bicycle Scenic Trail is located in Shangxing Li, Fangyuan City, stretching about 3 kilometers in total. The trail passes through a typical Hakka village, where both the style of residences and local customs still retain the simple, authentic essence of Hakka culture. Most houses here face vast rice fields, offering expansive views; elders still maintain the lifestyle of rising with the sun and resting at sunset, reflecting a close and harmonious relationship between people and nature.
