Enveloped by dense forests and magnificent mountains, Taoyuan Xiangu is home to a slew of ponds and waterfalls. In spring and summer, it is a natural gallery with fairyland scenery inlaid with one lake, 6 waterfalls and 13 ponds.

When winter falls, it would be dressed as a world of ice and snow, where mirable icicles, ice cascades, ice flowers and ice caves can be found everywhere. Of all attractions, ice climbing walls are sought-after among visitors. Stretching over 100m in width, the 50m-high one is ideal for professional ice climbers. While the other one is suitable for beginners with relatively gentle slopes.
