Mingchi National Forest Recreation Area, Datong Township, Yilan County, Taiwan
The Mingchi Forest Recreation Area is at an altitude between 1150 and 1700 meters. It has rich and primitive ecology resources. Mandarin ducks and mallards are local residents. With birds and squirrels flitting in the woods and towering forests surrounding all around, one cannot resist but bask in the phytoncide in the forest air.
Embraced by the forest, Mingchi, also called “Chiduan”, is an artificial highland lake with dense forest all around, and usually covered in cloud and mist. The beauty of the jade-colored Mingchi has won itself the pretty name of the “Pearl of the North Cross-Island Highway”, like a paradise on earth.
