Mt. Taiping : Bailing Giant Tree - a gigantic Taiwan Cypress about 30 m high (roughly 10 floors) and more than 700 years old. It takes 6 persons to encircle its trunk. It had been struck by lightning and its trunk is hollow inside. Even so, it is still alive and continuing to grow. Bailing is the demarcation between broadleaf trees and conifer trees. The name "Bailing" means white mountain top, which has won its name because white clouds are usually surrounding the mountain, Jancing Historic Trail - it was built on part of the old「Forest Railway- Jancing Line」 and the total length is 0.9 km. The old「Forest Railway- Jancing Line」is about 5.5 km, it still retains the natural beauty and historical heritages along the railway as decades ago. Nowadays, you will see the railway tracks, wooden log cart and bogies on the trail, which can invoke the memory of old logging business, Taipingshan Villa, and Jioujhihze Hot Spring (exclude hot spring bath) - Under the Japanese administration, Japanese loggers built a hot spring bath room and the source of Jioujhihze hot spring water comes from the cracks of stone on the hillside.
