The “oShanfeng?” area in Xindian is not only a tranquil place to enjoy the lake view and mountain scenery, but also an ideal romantic escape.In the 1960s, it was a popular dating destination, but as time passed, fewer people visit nowadays, and some parts are private land—you’ll need to enter via a small path beside the blue gate. It’s truly a quiet little hidden gem.

oShanlingqu?n the 1960s, was a quite popular dating hotspot in northern Taiwan.Ask your grandparents—they might have fond memories from their youth here. Later, when the Zhitan Dam was completed, the water level rose and submerged the original landform, which then transformed into today’s reservoir.The lake here is crystal clear, surrounded by lush greenery, and in spring and summer, you can see a lot of fireflies and enjoy a dreamy atmosphere.
It’s very relaxing to come here for a date and admire the beautiful scenery. (Photo / fflower_h)
If you want to enjoy the views around the bay area, pay attention to the timing—there’s a chance you might witness the enchanting bioluminescent plankton.
