Aside from world-class premium coffee, Yunlin’s Gukeng also boasts many romantic spots and gardens, making it an ideal area for dates and short getaways. In the morning, you can start by visiting the charming new attraction – Gukeng’s Pink Castle, for photos, check-ins, and to enjoy a romantic atmosphere. You might also want to have a meal here. In the afternoon, head to Rosa Rose Manor to experience flower fields and European-style lifestyle aesthetics, while learning about the history and applications of roses, as well as the essential oil extraction process. Later, you can visit the popular romantic spot — Gukeng Lover's Bridge, where you can overlook the forested mountain scenery surrounded by peaks on a bridge that only allows two people to pass at a time. Finally, you can stop by the nearby million-dollar night view café — Fi You Bu Ke Garden Café, where aside from tasting Gukeng’s delicious coffee, you can also admire the beautiful view of Huashan. Visitors might also consider reversing the itinerary: start with the Lover's Bridge in the morning, enjoy Gukeng coffee nearby, head to the rose garden in the afternoon, and visit the pink castle for night views as evening falls.
