Maolin National Scenic Area ::: Suggested Tours

The best period of time for this travel plan is during the Purple Crow Butterfly season from November to March. Many Purple Crow Butterflies come here to pass the winter, and visitors can use this opportunity to learn about the interaction between butterflies and human beings. Moreover, experiencing the Duona Suspension Bridge, Taiwan’s highest suspension bridge, will give you a thrill! Enjoy the beautiful scenery from the bridge! Last of all, capture the famous serpentine landforms and hill topography in the area with your cameras, as this is a world-class sight! This trip will be well worth it!

The beautiful sound of the birds in Xinwei Forest Park is comparable to that of a symphony by Beethoven. Remember to take a pair of binoculars and a bird identification book and see if you can recognize the birds from their song and mating calls to make your eco-tour more fun!

The Colorful Butterfly Valley is where visitors can view the beautiful sight of Grass Yellow butterflies flying around between May and August. The number of butterflies here is always overwhelming! Follow the path to Diyuan Temple and admire the intricate religious artwork here in a solemn and holy atmosphere. As your trip comes to an end, why not take a sprig of rose tree back home as the perfect souvenir?

As the steps of winter arrive, flocks of purple crow butterflies begin reporting in. At the butterfly viewing path in the Maolin Ecological Park you can come in close contact with this world-class scenery. We suggest that visitors participate in the “Two Year Butterfly Viewing Event” held by the Administration, where you will be able to listen to detailed explanations by professional guides on Purple Crow Butterflies. You will definitely gain a more profound understanding of their habits and life cycle.

Everlasting Treasures of the Land — Admire the largest seedling farm in the country and slowly walk past the beautiful butterfly shaped bridge. Then, take a hike on the ecological trail and enjoy the natural sights along the way. At night, the unique ecological tour is also very much worth experiencing. This is an exploratory trip just right for your family! The ecological tour style that combines fun and learning will help elevate both your mind and your heart.
