A friend drove me from Changhua HSR station.
Still quite a drive.
Go early morning.
Noon time onwards, will be too misty to see anything.

杉林溪森林生態渡假園區 very big. some trails can take up to 2 hrs to complete. 2 big waterfall inside, one at the bottom, one at the top. There are 楓葉 and 水杉.

no, this is inside 杉林溪森林生態渡假園區 at sunset. no need hike, just walk can see liao....:s12:

Was there in 2016 in Nov. autumn period.
I flip my photos later and see, the maple leaves are soso.
But like what you shown, that is not autumn period i guess...
Perhaps spring or summer.

Cingjing bus to hualien, u better call.
Sometimes do not run service one.
I rather u book ur car from taichung to cingjing to hualien to yilan etc.
3 full days are good.

Agree, mountain road hard to say.
My last trip from alishan to cingjing, road is close so no choice but to go by the long way.

hmm ... not worth to book car for solo
so it's easier to access from taichung
will still try the shuttle bus to hualian ... if no bus just go back taichung :)
