Full Moon Round National Forest Recreation Area Introduction
Miyueyuan 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, including Miyueyuan Mountain, Xiong Kong South Mountain, Beicha Tian Mountain, Laka Mountain, and Dongyan Mountain. A stream named Ruizi Creek flows through the park, creating steep valley terrain and significant elevation differences, resulting in many waterfall landscapes, hence its nickname "Paradise of Waterfalls." In addition to the most spectacular Miyueyuan Waterfall, there is also a Silver Curtain Waterfall located not far behind it, while the Virgin Waterfall is situated on the left tributary of Ruizi Creek. This waterfall is often accompanied by rainbows, earning it the alternate name "Rainbow Veil Waterfall." Near the Miyueyuan Forest Recreation Area, there is a legendary ecological farm called Qianhu, located at the confluence of Laka Creek and Zhongkeng Creek. This ecological farm, themed around sightseeing and aquafarming, allows visitors to enjoy the beautiful mountain and forest scenery while tasting various delicious farmed fish from the clear streams of the upstream Sanxia area, such as the highly nutritious high-cold rainbow trout and sturgeon dishes that are known for their nourishing and metabolism-boosting qualities. The Ruizi Creek ecological trail within the park can be walked in about 50 minutes to reach the Miyueyuan Waterfall. Additionally, there is a self-guided forest trail that leads through a cypress forest to the Dongman Trail entrance and the viewing pavilion of Miyueyuan Waterfall. This wide and gentle trail is suitable for families looking to enjoy the outdoors and absorb phytoncides. During autumn, Miyueyuan is not only rich in vegetation and creek landscapes, but its foliage turns into vibrant shades of red, attracting a large number of visitors for leaf viewing.
