Xitou Nature Education Area lies in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, where the weather is consistently cool all year round. The highest mountain within the area even has an altitude of 2,025 meters. When the sky is clear, you could hike along the trail that leads you all the way to the astronomical observatory on top, where a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and the distant Sun Moon Lake will amaze you. During this scenic hike, you will pass through a bamboo forest in a mist of magic while having some little squirrel friends along the way.
