Taoyuan Valley Introduction
The vast grassland stretches for three kilometers, resembling a paradise away from the world, akin to a fairyland, where one can overlook the scenery and forget about worldly troubles. The lush green Taoyuan Valley, formerly known as Kun Cow Boy Mountain, was once a place for children to graze and play during farming off-season. Today, it is one of the popular hiking routes favored by tourists, known for its three kilometers of gently sloping green hills, resembling a green carpet carefully woven by nature. On clear days, one can enjoy a 360-degree view, looking east towards the Pacific Ocean and north towards Longdong Cape. In autumn and winter, the strong monsoon brings clouds to Taoyuan Valley, and the wild Miscanthus grasses create waves in the mountain and sea breezes, forming a refreshing and beautiful pastoral scene. Taoyuan Valley, as the name suggests, is the source of the peach blossom source for the Wuling people, embodying tranquility and serenity away from the world. Coupled with a few households, where the smoke from kitchens rises and the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard, hikers will definitely have a profound impression of this paradise, leaving lasting memories. The traditional route to Taoyuan Valley begins from the Renze Community, featuring a steep ascent that twists and turns before opening up to a clearer view. As one looks up and down, the mind begins to clear. Continuing to the expansive grassland full of nature’s charm, friends and family can gather to chat or lie comfortably in a relaxed position, gazing up at the blue sky while feeling the gentle mountain and sea breezes. Standing at the highest point, the Lanyang Plain and Guishan Island lie beneath, amidst the intersection of mountains and sea, with distant signs of human habitation; it can truly be described as a heavenly paradise.
