Shei-Pa Xuejian Recreation Area & Holy Ridge, Tai'an, Miaoli

About this place

Shei-Pa National Park Xuejian Recreation Area, Tai'an Township, Miaoli County, Taiwan. Tucked deeply into the mountains behind Tai'an’s Atayal settlements at nearly 2,000 meters elevation, Xuejian earns its poetic name from its magnificent vantage points gazing upon snow-capped peaks along the Holy Ridge. Pristine forest trails wind beneath towering hardwood and conifer canopies flanked by billowing seas of clouds. Exploring Shilin Dam and Xiangbi Village below, travelers savor tribal bamboo rice, flame-seared prickly ash pork, sweet mountain persimmons, and crisp plums.
