Nantou’s cingjing(Qingjing) neighborhood is full of European-style buildings and larch forests, which makes you feel like you’re in a foreign country. I also went there to take photos during the red larch season in Qingjing, and I organized 7 beautiful spots along the 14th A route! It’s very easy to take beautiful photos.

Season of redness of larch in Qingjing: around the beginning of December

Versailles Bed and Breakfast(清境凡賽斯民宿)

The larch in Versailles is planted in the parking lot, so if you take the picture too early, you will have a lot of problems with cars, and the sunlight in the morning will just be blocked by the house is also not very suitable~.

Around eleven o’clock, the lodgers would have checked out, the cars would have been driven away, and the sun would have crept over the roof and shone down! It’s a good time to visit.

You can also take photos upwards when the sun is not directly above you, when most of the light is hitting the reddish leaves diagonally, which is especially beautiful, especially note that if you are not a lodger, you’d better ask the staff of the B&B if you can take photos, and don’t make a lot of noise.

Old English Manor(老英格蘭莊園)

The Old English Manor is a B&B that many people will take photos of, the photos I took were taken by Versailles, the front of the manor is also planted with a lot of larch, just Versailles can’t be photographed from the angle of view, but can be photographed in the foreground of the red forest, of course, there are also other places that can go to convert the angle of view ~ you can take a walk around the manor, to find more good angles.

I tried to walk around the manor that day, but I just couldn’t find any good viewpoints, and then it was time for breakfast, so I didn’t look any further, and was ready to finish breakfast and go shoot somewhere else ～ but I did get some favorite shots around here ～ you can see some European style buildings surrounded by larch nearby!

Although most of the red plants in the area are larch, you can also see some maple leaves, which are turning red at the same time!

Lai Fook Ju(來福居)

The parking lot at Lai Fook Kuk also has a row of larch pines with cars underneath, so I opted for an upward shot.

On the opposite side of the larch, there are a few dwarf maples that are just changing color, with a little bit of green in them, making the whole foliage quite layered!

When you walk to the entrance of the B&B, you will see a sign saying that no non-guests are allowed to enter! Please be careful not to trespass.

The building at the back attracted my attention the most was the chimney. Taken from a distance, the fallen pines were just to the left and right of each other.

Qingjing Mizuharu Garden Fukushanzhuang(清境見晴花園渡假山莊)

The garden is near Lai Fu Jiu, and the hill is surrounded by larch, so the green leaves were a bit more than the other places, but it still didn’t diminish the attractiveness of the garden, and the light and shadow from the light line were also very nice.

I accidentally found their cones here and realized that they have fruits! I found out that it’s almost time for the fruit to ripen, so it should be able to grow a new one when it falls to the ground, right?

Xiangqing Garden Villa can be seen on the slope next to Seeing Clear Villa, surrounded by colorful pine forests, colorful slopes and European-style buildings, it is really like being in a foreign country!

Qingzhengkuo no tent(清境珂之幄)

I found this place by accident, and just happened to see it when I was going to take pictures of the artist, because it was right across the street. I went in and saw the owner (or maybe he was an employee), signaling me to take a few pictures.

I didn’t take a lot of photos, but I especially liked the light and shadow atmosphere of the entrance!

Clearland Artist Original(清境藝家原)

The Artist’s House is located across the street from the Konohiki Tent, and it’s a big place! You can’t see the building from the road, but you have to walk uphill a little bit to find it, and on the way, you can find a lot of reddish larch trees.

The white flowers are white cosmos, right? I planted one here, but it looks like it has just been renovated, so it’s not growing very densely.

The parking lot here is not near a building, so there won’t be a lot of cars entering the screen.

Chingjing Lu’s mom(清境魯媽媽)

This is a Yunnan cuisine restaurant, and you can see a red forest area as you pass by from Tai 14A! It’s a good idea to avoid the midday crowd.

The parking lot is right in front of the building, which allows multiple larch to enter the frame at the same time. On the Taiwan 14 A line, Mama Lu is the topmost place (compared to the previous six), so it was also the last stop for me to shoot on that day.
