About Nantou
Nantou County serves as Taiwan's geographical and cultural heartland, renowned for its dramatic Central Mountain Range landscapes and deep historical roots. As the home to several indigenous tribes, including the Thao people of Sun Moon Lake, the Bunun, and the Tsou, Nantou's culture is richly woven with aboriginal traditions, festivals, and crafts. Historically, it was a crucial area for tea cultivation and forestry. The county is famous for several iconic attractions: Sun Moon Lake is a national scenic area and a place of pilgrimage; Cingjing Farm offers a taste of alpine pasturelands; and the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village provides immersive cultural experiences. Key districts include the Sun Moon Lake area for tourism and relaxation, Nantou City as the administrative center, and Puli as a central town known for its paper umbrellas and Shaohsing wine. The region is celebrated for its high-mountain oolong tea, pristine natural environments like Xitou Monster Village and Sun Link Sea, and a slower, more contemplative pace of life that contrasts sharply with Taiwan's urban centers.
Best Time to Visit Nantou
The best time to visit Nantou is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. Spring brings mild temperatures, blooming flowers (especially cherry blossoms around Sun Moon Lake and Cingjing), and comfortable humidity, making it ideal for hiking and lake activities. Autumn offers clear, sunny skies, crisp air, and stunning foliage in the mountain areas, perfect for photography and outdoor exploration. Summer (June to August) is the warmest and wettest season, with frequent afternoon thunderstorms; it's peak tourist season for domestic travel, so expect crowds, but it's also when the Sun Moon Lake Fireworks Festival and Swimming Carnival occur. Winter (December to February) can be quite chilly, especially in high-elevation areas like Cingjing and Hehuanshan, where temperatures can drop near freezing and occasional frost is possible. This season sees fewer tourists and offers a chance to see plum blossoms and enjoy hot springs in the surrounding regions. Major events include the Sun Moon Lake Fireworks Festival (usually around October), various indigenous harvest festivals throughout the year, and the spectacular cherry blossom viewings from January to March.
