[quote=“Mucha (Muzha) Man”]Huisun forest reserve is close by as is Aowanda. Both have signs in English and numerous trails though you can’t camp:

Huisun is a great place and not too crowded. There are quite a few walking trails. I did the one down to the Frog Rock, which is next to a river at the bottom of a canyon. It’s steep but the path is fine. I hope to go back there soon.
They grow coffee in that area and you can buy a bag or just drink some in the ‘coffee exhibition center’ not too far from the entrance tollbooth.
There are some wooden cabins of a reasonable size up there and I think there may be a restaurant as well. I’m not sure whether the phone number for the booking office is within the Huisun site MM linked to: I suspect that their link for accomodation refers instead to the nearby Atayal resort.
It’s at least a 2 hour motorbike ride from Taichung, but a very nice ride.
You start off as in Plasmatron’s route here;

but look in my post below that one for the directions to Huisun itself.
