Sun-Link-Sea Forest Recreation Area

Let’s enjoy a forest bath at Sun-Link-Sea Forest Recreation Area. Sun Link Sea is a great place for sightseeing all year round: jogging in the morning mist, strolling under the shadow of trees at noon, admiring the pink clouds at dusk, and bask under the glow of the moonlight at night will be the most unforgettable thing during the whole trip.

Songlong Rock Waterfall 

The magnificent and beautiful scenery of Songlong Rock Waterfall known as the best view of Sun-Link Creek, contenting approximately 20,000 to 50,000 anion per cubic centimeter. Due to its high elevation and abundant rain, everything is covered by moss.
