National Chung Hsing University Xinhua Forest Farm Introduction
The Xinhua Forest is situated on over 370 hectares and was originally an experimental forest for National Chung Hsing University. It is the only low-altitude subtropical forest in Taiwan, making it a perfect destination for leisure and relaxation. The park features the largest mahogany forest in Taiwan, so every April, visitors can enjoy the poetic sight of mahogany leaves dancing in the wind. At the same time, fireflies can also be admired here. The best season for butterfly watching is from May to October, and along the walking paths of the botanical garden, there are plenty of Aristolochia, which the butterflies love to feed on, creating a stunning scene of butterflies dancing in the sky. The forest bath trail is the most attractive facility in Xinhua Forest, sprawling throughout the botanical garden in a web-like pattern, allowing for various routes that navigate the hills and valleys. The trails offer a mix of challenges and are complemented by the impressive mahogany forest scenery, lush green lawns, and the picturesque lake view. Walking under the trees, one can feel the affectionate embrace of the flowers, grasses, and trees, as well as the gentle sounds of springs and birds, making it a captivating experience.
