Changhua has become a popular check-in destination, featuring not only European-style manors and cafes but also beautiful gardens. In Dacun Township, there's even a free bald cypress wonderland called "Lianji Horticulture." Here, you'll find vast bald cypress areas resembling Tetris blocks, which look particularly magnificent when they turn red in autumn and winter, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a European garden.

In addition to planting large areas of bald cypress forests, Lianji Horticulture also features podocarpus, date palms, eight-petaled cherry blossoms, and golden trumpet trees. The garden owner welcomes visitors to explore and take photos for free but also asks everyone to take their trash away to help preserve the environment.

After enjoying the bald cypresses in Dacun Township, you might also want to visit nearby attractions such as Jinchang Coffee Roastery and the Double Heart Pond. Jinchang Coffee Roastery boasts a European Baroque-style exterior, surrounded by many romantic landscaped features.
