Massive concentric circles surround the mountains — the ad location “Nantou Bagua Tea Garden”

At altitudes between 1,000 and 1,300 meters, rows of tea trees are planted along the hillside, creating a pattern from afar that closely resembles the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) from the Book of Changes, hence the name “Bagua Tea Garden.” Locals refer to it as the “Ruan’an Tea Garden.” Following the ad’s boost in fame, the area has attracted many photographers and tourists who brave the winding farm roads just to see it. The scenery varies beautifully with time of day and weather, especially when mist drifts through, casting a mysterious veil over the fields that is particularly enchanting.

Although the mist-covered tea garden is beautiful, visitors are advised to head up the mountain early, as mountain weather is unpredictable, and fog tends to roll in later in the afternoon, making the already tricky farm roads even more dangerous. After visiting the tea garden, be sure to stop by a nearby tea shop for a cup of tea or a tea-flavored egg as a treat.
