Hsinchu Wufeng Stargazing Camping Area

This time, my friends and I went to the Stargazing Camping Area in the Bailan Tribe of Wufeng Township, Hsinchu County. The campsite is at an elevation of about 1,100 meters. The journey up the mountain was delightful, as the air carried a refreshing scent, accompanied by a misty rain, making it comfortable even at midday in summer.

Upon entering the campsite, we found the management to be very attentive, and the entry and exit times differ on weekends and holidays. Since we specifically rented a car for filming, we had arranged the timing in advance, giving us more time to enjoy nature.

The campsite offers comprehensive services, including parking spaces, charging stations, and separate bathroom facilities for each area. For car camping beginners like us, the campsite also has very user-friendly facilities, such as outlets right next to the parking spaces, eliminating the need for extension cords or portable power banks, which adds convenience and safety. It's really great.

The campsite owner is truly attentive, with gravel and grass laid throughout the area to ensure proper drainage even when it rains. There are also water dispensers and refrigerators available for use.

Additionally, if needed, you can rent tents and some equipment. There's also an honesty shop available. The campsite owner has thoughtfully covered all the basic essentials.

Overall, this outdoor shoot allowed us to practically experience the in-car facilities, which were very useful. 03Camper also provided thoughtful consultation services. We look forward to driving out again next time to enjoy more of nature's beauty!

At night, we opened the upper ventilation window, which provided ample space to not only immerse ourselves in the tranquil environment but also enjoy the uninterrupted night view from the car, making for a very chill evening.

The best part is not having to pack up a tent, which is super convenient. By the time we leisurely finished packing up and had nothing else to do, other campers nearby were still dealing with their wet tents. It really made us appreciate how convenient car camping is, with setup and takedown being simple and quick!

Looking forward to the next car camping trip, bringing more people along will definitely be fun. Trying different lifestyles will make every day more exciting.

The campsite is divided into 5 areas, with trees and cherry blossoms planted throughout. Due to its high elevation, both the daytime and night views are excellent. It can accommodate approximately 20-25 tents. The toilets and bathrooms are separated by area. The easygoing owner and their family are very attentive, maintaining the site in a very clean condition.

Nearby Attractions

The "Bailan River Ancient Trail," with over 400 years of history, is a path used by the Atayal people leading to the Qing'ao Bailan Cold Springs and ice.

Fort Ruins: It's definitely the most natural air-conditioned path during the scorching summer! The trail takes about 30 minutes to complete and is suitable for people of all ages!

This trail was created by the ancestors of the Bailan Tribe over hundreds of years and served purposes such as migration, visiting, warfare, hunting, and gathering. Curious about the poignant love story that took place here? What kind of stories do the scattered stones tell? Come and discover for yourself!

Qingquan Tribe: Located along both banks of the 'Shangping River,' connected by four suspension bridges, surrounded by mountains and lush forests with gently flowing streams. The Qingquan Hot Spring Suspension Bridge provides direct access to the Zhang Xueliang Residence and the Chief's Plaza. The nearby market is also a great place for shopping. It's about a 20-minute drive away.

Shei-Pa National Park: The park's elevation ranges from over 700 meters to Xueshan, Taiwan's second-highest peak at 3,886 meters. Xueshan features rich glacial landforms, with ice cirques densely distributed around the main peak. Among the nine cirques surrounding the main peak, eight are ancient glacial cirque relics. Visitors can see Taiwan's highest lake, Cuichi, admire the Formosan laughingthrush, and choose to experience the Yulun Trail (meaning "cloud and mist" in the Atayal language) in the Guanwu Recreation Area.
