Sun Link Sea (also known as Shanlinxi and Shanlinhsi) is a beautiful 40-hectare scenic area in Zhushan Township, Nantou County. It sits at an elevation of 1600-1800m and offers some of the most incredible natural scenery imaginable. With misty forests filled with towering trees, jaw-dropping waterfalls, and excellent hiking trails, Sun Link Sea is the perfect place to immerse yourself in nature, breathe in some crisp mountain air, and wander through mystical forests. The maple trees in Shanlinxi are located at the Maple Garden aka Flower Center (花卉中心) while the Metasequoia pine trees can be found after a short walk.  To get to these places one can hike for two kilometers but the easiest method is to board the bus going to Songlong Cave Waterfall.  The maple trees turned red on the last week of October and its beauty is expected to last until mid-November.  If there is an El niño or other abnormal weather conditions, expect the maple viewing season to get shorter or worst become delayed for a few weeks. Another attraction that one should not miss in Shanlinxi during the maple season is its dawn redwood forest.  Also known as the Golden Metasequoia Forest, they are deciduous pine trees meaning they shed their leaves every year particularly during the winter season. These trees have a characteristic conical shape which sets them apart from the bald pine trees, wherein the entire growth of the needles or leaves tend to become broad and don't follow a specific shape.  The dawn redwoods, on the other hand,  look so attractive when seen in great numbers.  They can also grow very tall reaching up to 100 feet in height. If you want to see the dawn redwoods in their orange color, I suggest visiting Shanlinxi in mid-November to late-November. Just a short walk from Golden Metasequoia Forest is the Maple Garden of Sun Link Sea.  A Shinto shrine together with red Japanese maples makes it a perfect spot to take pictures.   There is also a giant windmill with some trees of Gingko biloba around.   🛡Join this channel to get exclusive access to perks: 📌https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5XMnit7bWbtd8-oR7WS5A/join Want to know more about tourist spots around Taiwan? 👉https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptjsBsWc_ls&list=PLyNk1PbyAdYDDOLaWtXCQBPuaTxVVlr7I 👉https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llMFQM3222c&list=PLyNk1PbyAdYCGiODQ06TMyQOPQ07Tw4j5 👉https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkqRq7VbetA&list=PLyNk1PbyAdYDz3Gmk9KZvWPkpo005gK8N Want to know about the best beaches in Taiwan? 👉https://youtu.be/7eD4QB7AZ0E How about travel Itineraries around Taiwan? 👉https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRSkGx47U40&list=PLyNk1PbyAdYBh-fr03hyUMxheowfoBAMo Thank You!
