Full Moon Round National Forest Recreation Area Introduction
Mauyueyuan National Forest Recreation Area covers an area of 1,573 hectares, with an elevation ranging from 300 to 1,728 meters. It is surrounded by mountains such as Mauyueyuan Mountain, Xiongkong South Mountain, Beicha Tian Mountain, Laka Mountain, and Dongyan Mountain. The area features the Ruizi Stream, which flows through steep valleys, creating numerous waterfall landscapes, earning it the nickname "Waterfall Paradise." In addition to the most spectacular Mauyueyuan Waterfall, there is also a Silver Curtain Waterfall not far behind it, while the Virgin Waterfall is located on the left tributary of the Ruizi Stream and is known as "Rainbow Waterfall" for its frequent rainbows. Nearby Mauyueyuan Forest Recreation Area is a Thousand House Legendary Ecological Farm situated at the confluence of Laka Stream and Zhongkeng Stream. This ecological farm, themed around sightseeing and aquaculture, offers beautiful mountain scenery, and visitors can enjoy various delicious fresh fish farmed in the clear streams upstream of Sanxia, such as the highly nutritious high-altitude rainbow trout and sturgeon dishes that nourish the skin and promote metabolism. The Ruizi Stream Ecological Trail in the park takes about 50 minutes to walk to Mauyueyuan Waterfall. Additionally, there is a self-guided forest trail leading from the cypress forest to the entrance of the Dongman Trail and the viewing pavilion of Mauyueyuan Waterfall, which is wide and gentle, making it suitable for families to enjoy the outdoors and absorb phytoncides. Mauyueyuan not only boasts rich vegetation and stream landscapes, but during autumn, the foliage transforms into a sea of red maple leaves, attracting a large number of maple-viewing tourists.
