Tourism Center / Comprehensive Report
Autumn and winter are the romantic seasons of bald cypress trees, sparking a nationwide craze for chasing these trees. Numerous hidden scenic spots have suddenly become wildly popular. Take Jiudian Bald Cypress in Nantou, for example — with over 200 bald cypress trees and features like a swing set, it offers a romantic scene reminiscent of idol dramas, attracting countless tourists. However, a few days ago, the park quietly closed its doors, no longer allowing visitors to come worship.
Jiudian Bald Cypress Forest is located in Fugui Village, Guoxing Township, Nantou County. It’s actually a private residence, but the homeowner, who loves bald cypress trees, spent millions planting over 200 of them in their yard, along with a swing set. Every winter, when the bald cypress branches turn red and sunlight filters through, the scenery becomes poetic, like stepping into an idol drama.

Out of the good intention of “sharing the blessing,” the homeowner opened the gates and allowed visitors to take free photos. However, due to unruly behavior from some visitors — leaving trash and damaging the swing set — the owner once considered closing the park. Actually, Jiudian Bald Cypress is not the first case where a beautiful spot has had to close due to being overwhelmed. This serves as a reminder to all travelers to be mindful of their behavior and care for the environment while visiting hidden gems, so that such beauty can be preserved for more people to enjoy.
