Dongyanshan National Forest Recreation Area is a hidden gem nestled in Taoyuan County, Taiwan. This 916-acre park offers a warm and comfortable climate, thanks to its location behind a hill that blocks the northeast monsoon. It's the perfect spot for a day trip, with convenient transportation options. From the peak of Dongyan Mountain, visitors are treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding ridgeline, rivers, and mountains. But what makes this park truly special is its geological wonders. Hiking trails reveal ancient fossils dating back millions of years when Taiwan was submerged in the sea. It's like stepping into an outdoor classroom where you can learn about erosion, sediment deposition, and more. So if you're looking for a unique and educational adventure, Dongyanshan National Forest Recreation Area is the place to be!
