By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

Taiwan boasts not only breathtaking natural scenery of mountains, forests, and waters, but also many astonishingly unique landmarks. Located in Gongliao District, New Taipei City, Taoyuan Valley features an unobstructed panoramic grassland along the ridgeline. Beyond that, there’s a high-energy “sacred site for the human brain” stone tablet that not only promotes physical wellness but also elevates spiritual awareness, adding a touch of magic to the hiking trails of Taoyuan Valley.

The area around the “Sacred Site of the Human Brain” is referred to by some as an energy vortex shaped like a human figure, with the center located at the head—making it a feng shui treasure. Visitors here are said to gain wisdom and vitality. Those planning to explore the Caoling Historic Trail and Taoyuan Valley are encouraged to pay a visit to the Sacred Site of the Human Brain to soak in its mystical atmosphere.

Taoyuan Valley is one of the most beloved hiking routes among visitors, known for its 3-kilometer stretch of gently sloping green hills. With a slope of nearly 30 degrees, the Taoyuan Valley grassland resembles a lush green carpet meticulously woven by nature. On clear days, the 360-degree view from the grassland offers vistas of the Pacific Ocean to the east and Longdong Cape to the north. In autumn and winter, strong seasonal winds sweep clouds across the valley, while swaying silvergrass hills ripple under the sea and mountain breezes, creating a serene and picturesque pastoral scene.
