Shanzhiku Leisure Agricultural Area Introduction
Shanzhukou, known for its early sightings of wild boars swimming together, has transformed into a leisure agriculture area where each season offers different scenery. From Shanzhukou Leisure Agriculture Area, visitors can overlook the coastlines of Nanxing and Shangwu, enjoying beautiful mountain and sea views in the mornings, afternoons, or at dusk. During the winter and spring when the plum blossoms bloom, the sights are delightful, and from March to April, it is a great time to enjoy fresh plums during the harvesting season. In addition to fresh plums, various plum products can be taken down the mountain to savor their unique flavors. Summer is the peak season for various fruits in Shanzhukou, including jackfruit, pineapple, cherimoya, and lychee, which are not only abundant in quantity but also of high quality. In autumn, it is a great time to head to the end of the Central Mountain Range, Wunbifeng, to admire the brilliant red maple leaves, painting the hills with the beauty of the autumn season. Nearby Shanzhukou is a large area of pristine forest with a wide variety of tree species and rich natural ecology, home to many rare plants, among which the magnificent thousand-year-old banyan tree, covering over 2,000 square meters, stands out, showcasing the miraculous power of nature. Shanzhukou is also the habitat for Taiwan's native species of butterfly orchids, which grow on tree trunks in shaded areas, characterized by their single-stem growth and rare division, named for their butterfly-like shape.
