Dongshih Forest－Taichung Tourism

Introduction

Dongshih Forest Garden is a low altitude forest home to a variety of animals and plants. It includes natural forest, man-made forest, pure forest and mixed forest. There are forests of cedar trees, tung oil trees, maple trees, Taiwan acacias and plum trees. In early spring, cherry blossom trees flourish in baby green. Fireflies sparkle like thousands of twinkling stars towards the end of spring. Then, all greeneries thicken in summer while tung oil trees bloom in snowy white and Hercules beetles celebrate on top branches. In fall, the mountains are colored by yellow tung oil leaves and red maple leaves. In winter, leafless branches create such desolate beauty.

非常適合闔家到訪的戶外景點能烤肉，射箭，泡腳…還有一些野外的遊樂設施可以使用。不過烤肉區不知為何蒼蠅非常多，這點令人有點困擾
