In an instant, a strong burst of inspiration
Just you and me, counting down together
No matter the rules of the universe
No matter the laws of the Earth
I’ll find the answers with my own eyes
Tomorrow, I will challenge
The unfinished, amazing camping story

Closest to the gear unloading road (there is a separate cooking area outside the door)

▲ Nantou Happy Castle Family Camping Site. (Photo provided by Master He)

Actually, you don’t need to set up a tent indoors—a ground mat and air mattress are all you need to sleep

▲ Nantou Happy Castle Family Camping Site. (Photo provided by Master He)

European Castle Gate area — two tent pads: (this area has the smallest indoor space)

▲ Nantou Happy Castle Family Camping Site. (Photo provided by Master He)

Bright space with elegant color scheme

We set up in this area this time; two pop-up tents fit just right

(Children are welcome to come in and play the piano—I was really happy about that)

▲ Nantou Happy Castle Family Camping Site. (Photo provided by Master He)

The cooking area for the European Gate is located just outside at the back, which is great

Walk through the central pathway to reach the Happy Pink House (the two areas are connected)

The central glass wooden door can be folded back to create a large open space

There are pink cherry blossoms to enjoy in a very clean area

The camping spot options in this area are really diverse (you can pitch your tent wherever you like)

All sinks are centralized in one location

Each block of the campsite is an independent area, reducing noise disturbance to other sections

The most fun carousel — do you want to give it a spin too? (Pole-mounted, spins independently in place)

Kids could play here all day long, it’s seriously unbelievable

Most tents are set up under the trees, the space utilization is really great

Camping under the trees is the way to go, right?

The carousel area at night is full of activities and buzzing with energy

Carriage Lakeside Area: (the most peaceful lakeside camping)

To be honest, the camping spots aren’t very big, most people set up their tents under the trees

The entrance camping spots can fit two tents and one dining tent

Shooting towards the entrance, you can camp anywhere there are trees

Carriages in the woods, reflecting the sunset, absolutely gorgeous
