Chishan Scenic Area Winter Travel Recommendations

When the last touch of maple red falls, Chishan Scenic Area sheds its grand attire, revealing its most authentic and serene appearance. At this time, with fewer crowds and a return to tranquility, it is the perfect opportunity for an in-depth experience. Stroll along the bluestone paths, with fallen leaves rustling underfoot, look up to see branches sketching a sky painting, sunlight filtering through, casting dappled shadows. Evergreen pines and cypresses are lush, exposed mountain rock textures are distinct, and the late red leaves scattered among them create a more striking visual impact than large patches of red leaves. This is also the golden season for photography enthusiasts, with no disturbances, allowing you to calmly capture morning mist over the mountains, sunset tower shadows, frost-colored plants, and rain-soaked clouds swirling like a fairyland—each frame a natural masterpiece. There are three must-experiences in Chishan during winter: meditate and seek enlightenment at Fahua Temple, feeling the peaceful power of this thousand-year-old ancient temple; avoid the crowds and engage with history and culture by appreciating stone inscriptions and ancient architectural details; choose a warm afternoon to stroll the mountain paths, gaze at the lake and mountain scenery, and let your mind open and brighten. Come to Chishan and start a quiet and healing winter journey!
