Mawudu Explore Forest
马武督探索森林
A planted cryptomeria forest in the Guanxi mountains. Forest trails and pond reflections look like a fairyland, earning it the name 'Green Light Forest,' ideal for forest bathing.
Mawudu Explore Forest is in Jinshan Village, Guanxi Township, Hsinchu County, at about 500-700 meters above sea level. The park is a dense stand of tall cryptomeria trees. Wooden boardwalks and gravel trails run beneath them, and a pond in the center reflects the straight trunks. With the morning mist, the scene is dreamlike, which is why it is called the 'Green Light Forest.' The trails total several kilometers, so you can pick a route to suit your fitness, and the forest stays cool in summer. Admission is charged, and hours follow official announcements. Mawudu Waterfall and other small sights are nearby. It is about 20-30 minutes' drive from Guanxi town center. There is no convenient public transport, so driving is recommended.
