【God's Tribe-Old Tribe Mountain Camping】
Neiwan, the nearest place to the foot of the mountain, is almost 3 hours away by car. In the early days, the Atayal tribe needed 5 days to travel from Simakusi to Neiwan or Yilan. The tribe was not electrified until 1979, and the road to the outside world was not opened until 1995. We came to Simakusi and camped in the old tribe without electricity or roads.
[The world of moss and the thousand-year-old red cypress trees, a potential site for world heritage]
This is not only the largest cypress area in Asia, but only one percent of the world's forests can be called fog forests, which is an ecosystem where cypress grows. Not only are there thousand-year-old cypresses here, but there are also mosses and ferns that are only found in a few forests in the world. In Japan and New Zealand, natural heritage sites and national parks have been established for mosses and ferns, and in Taiwan, there are such places here.
[Enjoy the mountains and forests more slowly than climbing mountains]
Unlike mountain climbing, which requires a lot of physical strength, strolling in the fog forest belt, which only accounts for 1% of the world's area, Taiwan is located in the Pacific Bay, has high mountains, and is located in the monsoon belt on the edge of the continent. Therefore, it has a rare fog forest belt. Walking in the mountains is more relaxing than climbing a hundred mountains. Relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery that nature has given Taiwan.
[Seasonal cuisine from a private chef in the wild]
You don’t need to prepare any dinner for camping, not even instant noodles, because we will prepare dinner dishes suitable for the local area based on seasonal ingredients. The chef will personally present each dish so that you can enjoy a full meal while camping in the quiet mountains. We will also try our best to present the original taste of the food so that the camping dinner can also be healthy.
[Giant Tree Trail Reminder] The Giant Tree Trail is a must-go when you come to Simakus to visit the 2,500-year-old YaYa giant tree. The round trip is about 11 kilometers. You need to consider your physical condition. We will give you 4 and a half hours. For people who don’t usually exercise, it may be more tiring. In summer or after rain, there will be mud on some parts of the trail. It is recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes and hiking shoes. Most people can complete the round trip on the trail within the time. If you don’t want to walk the entire trail, don’t worry.
[Relaxing camping trip] You may feel that there are too many gaps in the itinerary. For example, after visiting the tribe or arriving at the camping area to rest, we will have activities such as chopping wood, lighting campfires and telling tribal stories. The itinerary has more gaps and more free time so that everyone can take pictures and appreciate the tribe more freely, as well as immerse themselves in the comfortable and relaxing nature.
Prepare personal bowls and cutlery [Environmental protection]
We attach great importance to environmental protection. We will repackage the food we bring up the mountain, try not to leave garbage in the camping area, take recyclables down the mountain, and provide low-pollution dishwashing liquid, shower gel, and shampoo to minimize the harm to the environment. When you come to participate in the activities, remember to prepare a small bag to take the roadside garbage and personal garbage down the mountain.
