Yilan Sanshing Bald Cypress

Print

There are three secret areas of bald cypress in Yilan, namely Yuanshan Piaopi Lake, Sanxing Township Annong Creekside and Luodong Sports Park. You can see the beautiful bald pine forest at Tianxin Bridge on the bank of Annong River in Sanxing. The reason why there is a whole row of bald pine trees is because the Sanxing Township Office planted about 200 bald cypress trees here in the 1980s to protect the bank from wind. The pine trees form this 500-meter-long boulevard. During autumn and winter, the green leaves turn red, adding to the exotic atmosphere, and this secret land has earned the reputation of "Yilan's Little Europe" It is recommended that the best viewing time is from December to January every year. Find a good weather and come here to take pictures of fallen cypresses around 2-3 pm. In addition to the beautiful sky, the most important thing is that there is sunlight.
