A few years ago, a stunning scenic spot in Hualien went viral online. The breathtaking images looked like something out of a dream—lush palm groves and a vibrant green lake captivated everyone who saw them. People couldn’t help but ask, “Where is this?” and “Is this really in Taiwan?”

The enchanting place in the photos is “Yunshan Water” in Shoufeng Township, Hualien. With a dreamlike name, local tour guide Lai Chun-chin, who has lived in Hualien for seven years, explains: “It’s because there are clouds, mountains, and a lake here!” This 24-hectare natural ecological garden also features a 4-hectare man-made lake known as “Dream Lake.” It is owned by a landscaping company, yet remains open to visitors for free.

Because it's free to visit, stepping into Yunshan Water makes one even more appreciative of this lush, tranquil scenery. The villas scattered around the lake include both homestays and private residences. Regardless of their use, simply having such a dreamlike view is enough to make anyone envious!

Yunshan Water, home to various types of palm trees, takes on different appearances throughout the seasons. In spring, it bursts with verdant life; walking through the lush green woods, you’re accompanied by the gentle flow of a stream nearby. In autumn, the greens are tinged with hints of orange-red due to the changing colors of the “tropical deciduous trees,” commonly known as “falling-feather pines.” By winter, they turn brown, giving Yunshan Water an entirely new look.
