The Zhulin Recreational Farm is located beside the Southern Cross-Island Highway. Sprawling across 400 to 1300 meters above sea level, the farm is where visitors can enjoy nice weather, appreciate the beauty of the Central Mountain Range, and take in the full view of the gurgling Baolai River below. In winter, the farm is turned into a secret paradise with plum flowers blossoming everywhere.
The farm was named Zhulin, meaning bamboo forest in English, because it used to be a bamboo plantation and was known for its bamboo sprouts and dried bamboo shoots. In 2001, the government helped the bamboo plantation make transition to a recreational farm. As a result, the farm rose to become a popular tourist attraction for its plum plantations and varying atmospheres in different seasons.
Visitors should be mindful of the poor road condition between Baolai and Zhulin if they plan to go there by car. We recommend that you spend an hour on the farm, and please remember to call the farm to check for its availability before visiting.
