Full Moon Round National Forest Recreation Area Introduction
The Full Moon Round 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 Full Moon Round Mountain, Bear Hollow South Mountain, North Chaotian Mountain, Laka Mountain, and East Eye Mountain. A stream called Ruizi Creek flows through the area, where the steep valley topography and significant elevation changes have created numerous waterfalls, earning it the nickname "Paradise of Waterfalls." In addition to the most spectacular Full Moon Round Waterfall, there is a Silver Curtain Waterfall not far behind it, and the Virgin Waterfall is located on a left tributary of Ruizi Creek. This waterfall is often seen with rainbows, which is why it is also known as "Rainbow Silk Waterfall." Near the Full Moon Round National Forest Recreation Area, there is a Qianhu Legendary Ecological Farm situated at the confluence of Laka Creek and Zhongkeng Creek. This ecological farm, themed around sightseeing aquaculture, allows visitors to enjoy beautiful mountain and forest scenery while tasting various delicious fresh fish raised in the clear streams of the upper Sanxia, such as nutritious high-cold rainbow trout and sturgeon dishes that promote skin health and metabolism. The Ruizi Creek ecological trail set up within the area takes about 50 minutes to walk to the Full Moon Round Waterfall. Additionally, there is a self-guided forest trail that leads from the cedar forest to the entrance of the East Full Trail and the viewing pavilion of the Full Moon Round Waterfall, which is wide and gentle, making it suitable for families to enjoy the outdoors and absorb phytoncides. Full Moon Round is not only rich in vegetation and stream landscapes, but every autumn, the forest transforms into a sea of red maple leaves, attracting large crowds of maple watchers.
