The Guanwu National Forest Recreation Area is part of Shei-Pa National Park and lies at the junction of Wufeng Township in Hsinchu County and Tai’an Township in Miaoli County. Situated at an altitude of approximately 1,800 meters, it serves as the prime starting point and a must-pass location for viewing Mount Dabajian.

To reach Guanwu, you must travel from Zhudong in Hsinchu County toward Wufeng Township. Along the way, you’ll be greeted by stunning scenery, including the ever-shifting sea of clouds that drift in and out of view, showcasing nature’s grandeur. Rich in tourist resources, Guanwu has been developed into a forest recreation area with multiple forest trails leading to attractions such as the 2,000-year-old Hinoki Sacred Tree, the Giant Tree Grove, and waterfalls. Visitors can also enjoy natural sights throughout the seasons, including sunrises. The mountain forests are home to many high-altitude bird species, making it a great spot for bird-watching. In addition, the area nurtures numerous endemic or endangered plant and animal species unique to Taiwan.
