Shanzhigu Leisure Agricultural Area Introduction
Shanzhuku, named for the wild boar that used to gather to play in the water, has transformed into a leisure agricultural area where the four seasons offer different scenic views. From the Shanzhuku leisure agricultural area, visitors can overlook the coastlines of Nanxing and Shangwu, enjoying beautiful mountain and sea landscapes during the dawn, afternoon, or dusk. In winter and spring, when the plum blossoms bloom, it is a delightful sight, and from March to April, during the plum harvesting season, it is the perfect time to enjoy plums. In addition to fresh plums, various plum products are available to savor the unique flavor of plums. Summer is the peak season for various fruits in Shanzhuku, including jackfruits, pineapples, custard apples, and lychees, all of which are abundant and of high quality. Autumn is a great time to visit Wenbi Peak at the end of the Central Mountain Range to admire the vibrant red leaves, creating a stunning representation of autumn beauty. Nearby Shanzhuku is a vast area of pristine forest with diverse tree species and rich natural ecology, including rare plants; most notably, a thousand-year-old banyan tree covering over two thousand square meters is particularly spectacular, showcasing the marvelous power of nature. Shanzhuku is also the native habitat of Taiwan's orchid butterflies, which grow on tree trunks in shaded areas, belonging to the monopodial orchid family and rarely splitting; they are named for their butterfly-shaped flowers.
