Introduction
Starting from Liugui Xinwei Forest Park, where you can enjoy the mountain scenery and Laonong River scenery in the area, then go to Ikeda House and Pulai Xitoushe Battle Road to feel the traces left by history. Finally, visit Liugui Mountain Tea Story House to taste the fragrance of tea and then take unique souvenirs home.
DAY 1
Xinwei Forest Park
The Xinwei Forest Park sits on a tableland on the west bank of the Laonong River, around the 45km mark of the Provincial Highway No. 28. Since it is 200 meters above sea level, visitors can enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the Central Mountain Range and Laonong River below. The forest park used to be the biggest seedling plantation in Taiwan and covered an area of about 29 hectares. It is now home to more than 200 kinds of seedlings, mostly tropical plants. Mahogany, bamboo, and Chinese fir seedlings are most commonly seen in the plantation.
Shiba Luohan Shan Service Area
Shiba Luohan Shan Service Area is located near the 5km mark of Provincial Highway No. 27, right beside the Laonong River. Here includes shops, toilets, and a landmark bridge spanning across the Laonong River and reaching a tableland in the south.
Ikeda House
Ikeda House is the old Liugui Kaohsiung Bus Station. It was formerly a hotel run by Japanese Hyotaro Ikeda, so the name Ikeda House. Preserving the time's interior design, the Ikeda House is a rare Japanese-style inn building. Visitors can learn about its historical changes through the wall explanation boards and old photos.
DAY 2
Pulai Stream Xitoushe War Road
The trail is the namesake of the Pulai Xitou Tribe that found itself situated at the watershed separating the Laonong River and the Baolai River. At the beginning of the 20th century, a Japanese anthropologist came across the relics of the Tribe, which also included the battlefield trail. The trail was built circling up the Meilong Hill to transport construction materials for a fort on the top in the Japanese colonial era, which was used to regulate the indigenous activities. The trail then became known as the Pulai Xitou Tribe Battle Field Trail now, serving as a reminder of history.
Liouguei Native Camellia Tea House
Liugui is abundant in locally grown high mountain tea. At the Liouguei Native Camellia Tea House, you can learn about the native mountain tea and its fragrance and book meals in advance. Or make an appointment to experience the tea ceremony, tour guides, tea rolling DIY, and other activities. Suggest buying some souvenirs to take home and share with family and friends!
