Rugushan Introduction
Located at the border of Longtan and Yangmei, Lugu Mountain is renowned for its enchanting night views and has always been a popular attraction in Taoyuan. With an elevation of 390 meters, the mountain's shape resembles a woman's breast, which is why the local Hakka people have given it this interesting name. Whether enjoying the romantic scenery under the beautiful night sky with twinkling lights or exploring the tea mountain's landscape during the day, visitors are sure to have lasting memories. The Yangtong Road area is bustling with several scenic restaurants offering Hakka cuisine, creative desserts, vegetarian dishes, coffee, and tea, making it easy to imagine how worthwhile a visit to Lugu Mountain is. Due to its low elevation and location in a concave area by the Dahan River, Lugu Mountain enjoys unobstructed views. Not only can visitors overlook the entire Longtan area and the Dahan River Plain, but also see areas such as Guanyin, Zhongli, Qingpu, and Linkou clearly. On clear days, there is even a chance to spot Taipei 101, and many people arrive at Lugu Mountain early during New Year's Eve to secure the best vantage point for fireworks. Whether basking in the golden sunlight of sunset that floods the valley or seeing the dazzling lights at night, choosing a restaurant to enjoy delicious food alongside the beautiful scenery can greatly enhance the experience. Lugu Mountain, characterized by ample rainfall and red soil, provides an excellent environment for tea tree growth, making it an important tea-producing area in Taoyuan. The Fuyuan Tea Factory, located at Lugu Mountain and with a history of over a century, produces classic Taiwanese teas such as Taiwan Tea No. 18 black tea, Oriental Beauty tea, and lime tea, all of which are well-known both domestically and internationally. The famous beverage brand Chaliwang's Japanese green tea is also produced at Fuyuan Tea Factory. A visit to Lugu Mountain for a tea-tasting journey, experiencing tea picking and tea making, is a recommended way to get to know this beautiful location.
