Every autumn and winter, those seeking a light getaway to refresh their mind and body often choose to chase maple leaves or admire bald cypresses—the most popular seasonal activities. The Jingfang Garden in Changhua features vast forests of bald cypress trees that create the illusion of being by a European lake. In winter, as sunlight filters through and a gentle breeze blows, you’ll feel completely relaxed in this hidden paradise.

")Nestled in a quiet alley of Tianwei Township, the Jingfang Garden Leisure Farm originally started as an orchid farm. With a mission to transform agriculture and promote sustainable farming, its expansive bald cypress forest has become a major highlight. The bald cypresses change with the seasons, showcasing different looks throughout the year. In recent years, the trees have been turning color later in late winter, so visitors can still enjoy the most beautiful gradient of green, yellow, and red.▲An aerial view of the gradient beauty of the entire bald cypress forest.

")The large glass greenhouse on-site serves as a dining area, offering main meals, buffet options, and afternoon tea. From the greenhouse, you can enjoy panoramic views of the lakeside scenery through the floor-to-ceiling windows. In 2016, a brand-new café was added at a high point in the garden. Here, you can sip coffee, enjoy a meal, and gaze out over the treetops of the bald cypress forest, making for the most romantic winter bald cypress experience.▲Dining in the glass greenhouse offers unobstructed views of the beautiful scenery.
