Wild Boar Cave Leisure Agricultural Zone Introduction
Shanzhiku, named for the wild boars that used to gather and play in the water, has transformed into a recreational agricultural area, currently rare to see wild boars. It is famous for its diverse seasonal scenery. From the Shanzhiku recreational agricultural area, one can overlook the coastline of Nanking and Shangwu, offering breathtaking views of mountains and sea in the morning, afternoon, or evening. In winter and spring, when the plum blossoms are in full bloom, it is a delightful sight. During the plum harvest season in March and April, it's a great time to enjoy fresh plums, as well as various plum preserves, which can be taken down the mountain to savor the unique taste of plums. Summer is the peak season for various fruits in Shanzhiku, including jackfruit, pineapple, custard apple, and lychee, known for both high yield and excellent quality. Autumn is the perfect time to visit the end of the Central Mountain Range, Wunbi Peak, to admire the stunning maple leaves that blanket the mountains, showcasing the beauty of fall. Nearby Shanzhiku is a vast area of primeval forest with a rich variety of tree species and diverse natural ecology, including rare and exotic plants. The most spectacular is a millennium-old banyan tree covering over two thousand square meters, a testament to the magic of nature. Shanzhiku is also the habitat of Taiwan's native butterfly orchids, which grow on the trunks in shaded areas, exhibiting a single stem and rarely branching, named for their butterfly-shaped flowers.
