Valley of the Gods Waterfall (神仙谷瀑布)
Today, we drove to Nanzhuang in Miaoli to visit the waterfalls. The place is incredibly beautiful and easily accessible. However, there is no path to go down and play in the water; you can only admire the Valley of the Gods Waterfall (神仙谷瀑布) from the suspension bridge. There is car parking available at the entrance to the path leading to the waterfall, so driving here is not a problem. It takes about a 10-minute walk to reach the suspension bridge. Beyond the bridge, there is a path that goes deeper into the mountains, but there was a warning about the ground being very slippery. I didn't see anyone venturing further; people would cross the bridge and immediately return.
If you continue following the main road, you will come across an aboriginal village and camping grounds. Checking Google Maps, it appears that there are plenty of cherry trees blooming in the spring. If you visit during the blooming season, I will update you on that. Currently, there are several maple trees along the road that are turning red. We also had the opportunity to spot several wild monkeys in the area, right next to the road.
Xianshan Mesona (獅潭名產 仙山仙草)
After seeing the waterfall, we drove to Shitan to see the blooming mesona flowers. Mesona is an herb used to make grass jelly, a popular Taiwanese dessert. On the way, we made a stop at Xianshan Food Plaza (仙山美食特產廣場), which offers a wide variety of food choices. Additionally, the mountain view from there is very picturesque. However, it was around 1-2 PM, and the sky became very foggy, so it's better to travel here in the early hours.
Upon arriving in Shitan, we noticed many cars parked along the roads, as many people came to see the blooming flowers. The festival only lasted for two days. From my perspective, it wasn't particularly interesting to visit. We also explored Shitan Old Street, but aside from two dessert shops, there was nothing special to see or do.
