This remote forest experience centre at 2320m, around 60km west of Chishang, introduces regional wildlife and doubles as the application point for permits to hike towards Jiaming Lake. If you want a much shorter stroll, you can peruse the mountainside woodlands on five different loops ranging from 500m to around 3km, some with sections of stepped wooden walkways.
