A star-studded night sky above the fairy-tale castle-style “New” Campsite in Hsinchu

Text & photos /Master He

In that one-thousandth of a second, your smile under the blue sky will last forever, as I endlessly wait for time to let me spin the starry sky with my camera in hand. I’m just being stubborn—I want my kind of camping, taking you forward, going wild.

Blue sky, white clouds, and a fairy-tale cabin

Just love the unique joy of camping

What about you? Want to go wild camping next to the fairy-tale cabin too?

The campsite’s guesthouse is simple and charming

Bathroom facilities are clean and ample

The morning scenery along the trail is enchantingly beautiful

Please take care of our campsite pet dog, Beide.

Fairy-tale Forest Camping Spot Chart:

Fairy-tale Forest Elevation and Satellite Positioning Chart:

At around 35.4 km on County Highway 120 near Neiwan, turn left onto Xinle Bridge

After about 500 meters, make a right turn uphill. (Follow the signs for Monster Green Realm or Free Tea Garden)

There are clear signs—please take the right path.

After 0.5 km on Xinle Farm Road, prepare to turn right. (Follow the Monster Green Realm signs)

At 0.9 km on Xinle Farm Road, turn right at the intersection to enter the entrance of the Fairy-tale Forest.

Please enter—first check the small cottage camping area as assigned by the campsite owner.

Since there was make-up class this week and no one came camping here, we just found a random grassy spot to pitch our tent.

We camped in the castle area next to the fairy-tale cabin (the fairy-tale cabin spot is currently planned under the left grassy area—please note).

We casually brought a 2x2m small tent, which blended in perfectly next to the fairy-tale cabin.

Night rush shot—a grand moonrise over the magical forest.

The starry sky is surprisingly full of stars.

This summer Milky Way is absolutely worth a camping trip—you can see it with the naked eye. Now let’s take a look at the Fairy Campsite:

It can accommodate about 8–9 tents, making it the largest camping area in the site.

The campsite already has protective grass X bunds in place? The ground isn't hard-packed but will turn lush green in the coming season.

The campsite in Xiao Nan Forest just feels different.

Although it's a new campsite, its charm and unique features will likely make it a popular spot in the future. The combination of the canopy and fairy-tale house is really beautiful.

Enchanting forest night view.

A moving solo camping experience — having the whole site to yourself is pure enjoyment.

Upper campsite area, with three large sinks.

Safe electricity use (all lights are controllable, no nearby street lamps).

Now let’s take a look at the Elf Campsite: it can accommodate about 4–5 tents.

A small section surrounded by cherry blossom scenery, offering high privacy — perfect for a small private group.

On the right is the bathroom and toilet area, which is very convenient.

It also has two large sinks, all equipped with lights, making it very user-friendly.

Finally, let me introduce the bathroom and toilet area. (The men’s section at the bottom will be converted into a splash play area.)

Additionally, a children’s mini climbing area and white sand pool will be added under the trees above the bathroom area.

Five toilets and five showers are neatly arranged (the men’s section will be relocated to the back for more privacy).

Thoughtfully provided with equipment and waiting chairs.

Equipped with cleaning supplies and shower curtains with buckets (so water won’t splash on clean clothes at the back).

Spacious toilet stalls (personally built by the campsite owner).

Phase two aerial castle area — the homestay section (the unfinished upper part will be an aerial fairy-tale castle).

The first floor is the homestay area, with three rooms and a large cooking space.

This design also allows homestay guests to enjoy the experience of outdoor cooking.

There is also a thoughtfully provided kitchen (fully equipped with a refrigerator).

Two dedicated shower areas for homestay guests.

Next to the Fairy Tale Forest Campsite, the top is Mount Laku’s northern peak. (It takes 3–5 minutes to walk there.)

You can also clearly watch Crested Goshawks gliding through the valley. (About 2–3 pairs of Crested Goshawks inhabit this area.)

Beautiful panoramic mountain and forest views (the century-old Xiao Nan trees beside the campsite are spectacular).

Rich surrounding insect ecology.

This trip includes a stroll along the nearby famous Beidela Man Trail.

Every walk in the woods brings new discoveries.

You can witness the vibrant dance of nature.

Spotting little moments of green joy.

A touch of sunlight and greenery

The most beautiful journeys have beautiful melodies accompanying me.

Just stride forward into endless scenes

Letting me sketch such close beauty with my aperture

It turns out that a simple and relaxing camping trip is just what I need.

What about you? How would you describe the camping journey you want to pursue?

Just follow the starry sky and gaze toward the edge of the universe.
