Lotus Forest

A 116m high waterfall that lies along a popular hiking trail.

This commercially-run forest recreation area is located at an elevation of 1,600-1,800 meters above sea level, higher than Xitou, with an area of 40 hectares. It consists of herb and flower garden as well as three waterfalls.

Jhushan is the closest town to Xitou, one of Taiwan's most popular mountain weekend destinations, at 1,000m above sea level in a 100-year-old artificial cedar forest. Accessible by direct bus routes from town. Owned by National Taiwan University, which does forestry research there. Next door is the "Monster Village", a Japanese-enchanted-forest themed tourist village. See article for more information.
