Lavender Forest | Taichung's Most Healing Mountain Forest Secret Paradise × Herbs × Bird Songs × The Taste of Wind

Attractions / Taichung Attractions

Following the winding mountain road, when you arrive at 【Lavender Forest】, that moment of tranquility and fragrance will make you understand—this is not just a tourist spot, but a spiritual garden hidden deep in the forest.

Located in Xinshe, Taichung, Lavender Forest is like a hidden paradise in the mountains, where birds dance and fireflies flicker, and bitter fish can be seen swimming leisurely in the streams. This forest is not only filled with lavender, but also contains the rhythm of life, the language of nature, and breathing space for the soul.

Three Main Gardens × More Than Just Lavender

Lavender Forest is divided into three main themed spaces, each worth lingering at:

Mama Wang's Herb Garden

Growing over 60 varieties of herbs, it serves as the source for café spices and herb education. For travelers who love the healing power of herbs, this place is like a natural classroom.

Grace's Garden

An English-style garden combining tropical and Taiwan native plants, offering scenic views at every step and blooming with different colors each season, making it a great place for photography and flower appreciation.

Forest Café

Surrounded by cherry blossoms, tung flowers, and cedar trees, serving herb-flavored cuisine, herbal teas, handmade desserts, and herb crafts—a place for both dining and healing.

Experiences × More Than Just Sightseeing

Lavender Forest hopes every visitor can "slow down and quiet down," experiencing life with all senses:

• Reading and quietly sipping tea under the shade of trees

• Listening to wind through the woods and echoing bird songs

• Booking participation in: herb tours, cookie making, herb cooking classes

• Future plans: launching themed accommodations, inviting you to experience three to five days of mountain living

This is not just a visit, but a wholehearted forest retreat.
