Step into the realm of carefree mountains and waters, where a profound sense of wonder awaits as you uncover a fairy-tale hidden paradise.

Locations including Jiji, Sun Moon Lake, Dongpu, and Qingjing form this “Y-shaped route” (with Sun Moon Lake as the meeting point of the three routes). It’s like a silver necklace with a diamond pendant hanging around your neck. No matter whether you start your trip from Sun Moon Lake, Jiji, Dongpu, or Qingjing, the rich variety of attractions and diverse travel experiences always leave visitors enchanted and never bored.

Surrounded by majestic mountains, Dongpu exudes the charm of a secluded mountain hideaway. With no industrial pollution, the air here is exceptionally fresh, and the hot springs are a symbol of Dongpu’s warm hospitality, flowing year-round. On regular days, Dongpu’s main street retains its simple and tranquil charm, but during holidays, it throws open its doors to warmly welcome guests to enjoy this hidden gem.

The Dongpu Rainbow Waterfall Hiking Trail is lined with peach, plum, and mountain cherry trees along its slopes. When spring arrives and the flowers bloom, this trail becomes one of the best spots for flower viewing. Cherry blossoms are the highlight, often blooming before the plum and peach flowers, ensuring a continuous display of blooms from late winter through spring. This makes the uphill hike an enjoyable and not-too-tiring floral journey.

Photography enthusiasts should not miss the ever-changing beauty of Sun Moon Lake. The water here can be strikingly blue, vividly green, or mysteriously captivating. For coffee lovers, the area offers a delightful experience too — the interplay of sunlight filtering through the mist creates an ethereal ambiance that captivates both the eyes and soul. Whether it's the shimmering reflections or the moody haziness, every corner of the lake offers a photo-worthy moment.
