Season's Landscape
Wang Wei, the poet of Tang Dynasty, illustrated a fantastic journey into Shangri-La in his poem trip to the Wuling. The land of peach blossom can be easily transplanted to the Wuling Recreational Farm of today, the sea of flowers in the sprint, the ripening fruits in the summer, scarlet maple leaves in the autumn and the crystal white snow in the winter. The quality tourist services provided here makes the dreams of ancient poets come true.
In addition to a famous summer resort for its high altitude (averaged around 22℃ in the summer), Wuling offers the intoxicating red maple leaves all over the wild. This has won itself the name of Jiuzaigo of Taiwan! (The male leave season is mid November till mid January.) Come to Wuling Farm anytime round the year, spring, summer, autumn or winter, the taste lingers long time after. In spring, peach, pear, and apple trees found in abundance through the farm property envelop the area in their subtly fragrances. During summer time, newly ripened fruit hang plump and temptingly juicy amongst high tree branches. Take a look is enough to make your taste badly tingled. As autumn warmth wanes, the maple forest covering the mountains valley with red blanket, with maple leaves shimmering and dancing in the crispy mountain breeze. When winter comes, caps of white snow deposited at peak of reefs and the whole area put on cloth white enough to dwarf alpine. Under the cycle of seasons, the tourist attraction never ends but with different faces and one would forget to go home without being urged by details in the office. |
