[Taiwan, Nantou] Wangyou Forest

Wangyou (忘憂) means to  forget about the sadness. 
That's the reason of this forest formed.

Introduction

Wangyou Forest are formed because of the 921 earthquake, the biggest eqrthquake in the Taiwan history.

Because of the earthquake, the land was shaped, stuck the exit of the river and formed as the swamp.

The cedar were drowned by the tranquil water, also the time, like they all stopped and forget the sadness followed by the earthquake.

I would like to describe this forest in 
“ the Forest between life and death”

Drive

Highly recommended to get the forest by drive since the bus may delay or the less frequency of buses.

Please see the address of shuttle bus station as below:
No.1-8-1, Xishan Rd., Zhushan Township, Nantou County 55770, Taiwan (R.O.C.)
23°39'09.7"N 120°47'17.4"E

  1. Take the Shuttle Bus or Hiking to the forest


Shuttle bus: NT 100 / per person for one way
Reservation Phone Number: +886 928 923 886 Ms. Cheng
Reservation Email: service@cloud.let.tw


Highly recommend take the shuttle bus despite it’s very excited. The way of hiking is same as the shuttle bus goes, so you have to dodge the buses frequently. Furthermore, the slope is about 45°. It may cost 50 min-1 hr to get there.

BTW, you can't drive by your own because of the property right of land.
