Took my parents here for a weekend getaway. The scenery is top-notch – towering trees, crystal-clear streams, and plenty of benches to rest. My only complaint is the lack of clear directional signs; we got lost twice! Also wish there were more kid-friendly activities. Still, a peaceful day out with lovely views.
If you’re into photography, this forest is a dream. The morning fog and dappled sunlight create incredible scenes. I spent four hours just walking and snapping shots. Only downside: some sections of the path were slippery after rain, and there weren’t enough trash bins. But overall a serene escape from city life.
Came here on a whim during a road trip and it was the highlight of my week. The winding trails through the cedar trees felt magical, especially in the late afternoon light. No crowds at all – just the sound of birds and wind. I'd give it a solid 4 because the parking situation was chaotic and signs were confusing.
Lovely park, but the facilities are a bit basic. The only food stall near the entrance served cold noodles and overpriced tea. We came for the quiet atmosphere and got it, but if you're expecting a comfortable day out with decent amenities, you might be a little let down. Still, the bamboo groves are beautiful.
Absolutely stunning! The mist rolling over the pine forests at sunrise was like something out of a painting. Trails are well marked, and the air is so fresh you can taste it. We even spotted a golden pheasant near the summit. This place deserves every bit of its fame – a must-visit for nature lovers!
