Visitor center / Comprehensive report
As the season approaches December, the maple leaf viewing period across various regions is gradually coming to an end. Next up, it’s time for the elegant bald cypress trees to make their subtle entrance quietly. In winter, bald cypress trees slowly transition into orange-red and golden-yellow hues, presenting different sceneries ranging from gradient colors to vast expanses of withered yellow and warm orange. ETtoday News Cloud introduces four spots in Taiwan where you can already enjoy the beautiful views of bald cypress trees, along with a hidden gem—a super stunning metasequoia forest—every corner is postcard-worthy.
Taoyuan Bald Cypress Avenue
Located on Shiyuan Road in Daxi District, Taoyuan, this famous bald cypress viewing spot features a one-kilometer-long bald cypress avenue that is especially spectacular when it turns golden in November. As the weather gets colder, the trees along the avenue are gradually changing color, displaying a beautiful blend of yellow and red.
Location: No. 558 Lane, Shiyuan Road, Daxi District, Taoyuan City

Wuling Farm
As the season moves into winter, Wuling Farm is about to bid farewell to the maple leaf season, making it the perfect time to admire the bald cypress trees. In the camping area of Wuling Farm, large areas of bald cypress forests have turned into warm orange-red hues, complementing the distant mountains to create an even more spectacular view—like arriving in a foreign land, so beautiful it takes your breath away.
Location: No. 3-1, Wuling Road, Pingdeng Li, Heping District, Taichung City

Xiangshan Visitor Center (Sun Moon Lake)

The rows of bald cypress trees present elegant gradient colors, making it one of the must-visit spots in Sun Moon Lake.

Hualien Yuzhan Nursery
The “Yuzhan Nursery” near Donghua University is famous for its golden-gradient bald cypress trees reflected in the water, a breathtaking view exclusive to late autumn. Walking around the lake allows you to capture the charming reflections of the bald cypress trees from various angles, each season offering its own unique charm.

Songlinxi (Metasequoia)
Often confused with bald cypress due to their similar appearance, metasequoia trees also turn golden-yellow in autumn and winter. The metasequoia avenue beside Renting at Songlinxi in Nantou has now fully turned orange-yellow, creating a picturesque scene. If you want to capture this beautiful view, make sure to head up the mountain soon.
Location: No. 6, Xishan Road, Da’an Li, Zhushan Township, Nantou County
