Nantou Attractions | Hehuan Mountain Dark Sky Park - Yuanfeng Observation Deck

Hehuan Mountain Dark Sky Park (Yuan Peak Observation Deck), which was once very popular when it opened. It is the first star-gazing park in Taiwan to be certified by the international organization "Dark Sky Association" (IDA). The stargazing platform specially designed for stargazers allows visitors to enjoy a fantastic and romantic atmosphere in a space free of light pollution.


Its existence is a dream location for astronomers. The requirements of the starry sky are very high. In modern cities, it is almost impossible to exist. The sky above the city is deeply affected by light pollution, and even the whole night is brightly lit. I haven't looked up at the stars in the city for a long time. I still remember how exciting the Taipei Planetarium was when I was a child, and the unknown starry sky made people yearn. The stars and galaxies twinkling in the sky. Only beauty can describe it!


There was also a big joke in the Dark Sky Park at the beginning. Is the parking lot lights are too bright, according to the strong light pollution. Completely affects the stargazing experience. Of course, some people came out to explain that it was for the sake of safety, but it still caused a huge controversy. It was only later improved that it was completely removed.

The parking lot can accommodate about 20 vehicles! And the official recommendation is that it is best to accommodate about 60 people here, and the maximum should not exceed 80 people. Otherwise, it will affect the viewing.

We stayed at the Cingjing Farm National Hotel that day. Have considered whether to watch the stars at night. Had this great idea, but no motivation to implement it. Everyone gave up the idea, mainly because of laziness. In addition, it is actually a bit scary to come to the Dark Sky Park on the night road at night. However, those who are interested can sign up for the Cingjing Star Bus or the Hehuan Mountain Viewing Day Transfer. You can also hear the introduction of the tour guide!
