A Hidden Gem of Lush Green Grasslands with Stunning Night Views of the City from Gaomei Wetland

By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

The Qingshui area along Taichung’s coast boasts captivating seascapes and sunset viewing platforms, among which Gaomei Wetland is especially popular with international tourists. Beyond Gaomei Wetland, the hilly areas at the border between Qingshui and Shalu districts also conceal unexpectedly beautiful scenery. Near Cihui Pavilion, situated between Lufeng in Shalu District and the Sixth Public Cemetery, lies an expanse of strikingly green grassland, unique red-earth landscapes featured in the TV drama “The Teenage Detective,” and enchanting night views.

As this area sees heavy foot traffic during the Qingming Festival for tomb-sweeping, fires often occur, preventing dense tree growth. However, after heavy rain, a vast expanse of lush green grassland emerges, offering a healing, secret-garden-like experience.

At night, the spot becomes a favorite among photography enthusiasts. In front of Cihui Pavilion, you can enjoy beautiful sunset views, and on clear days, even admire the wind turbines of Gaomei Wetland in the distance. After dark, the twinkling city lights and winding S-curves of vehicle trails come into view.
