Xinshe
Xinshe blossoms with natural beauty and cultural charm just outside Taichung city. Wander through fragrant lavender fields at Lavender Cottage or play make-believe at the European-inspired Xinshe Castle. The Sea of Flowers creates a rainbow carpet when in bloom, while fruit orchards invite you to pick sweet treats straight from the branch. Hakka cultural influences add a layer of authentic local flavor to this rural paradise. Farm-to-table restaurants serve hearty Hakka cuisine featuring lei cha tea and fresh seasonal fruits. You'll need your own wheels to explore this countryside gem, as public transit is limited. Boutique farm stays and cozy guesthouses make perfect bases for enjoying starlit skies and peaceful morning walks through the rolling green hills.
