Tri-Mountain National Scenic Area Headquarters

Located above the Xinjiayang Tribal Village, the Xinjiayang Black Forest was a vital hunting ground for the Atayal. The forest's towering trees block sunlight, even during the day, earning it the name "Black Forest." Ancient hunting trails within the forest have become forest trails, allowing visitors to admire the pristine scenery of the high-altitude coniferous forest. With luck, you might even encounter a Formosan muntjac! 

Step out of the forest to admire the beautiful tea plantations. Kumy Tea, grown by local farmers, comes from one of Taiwan’s highest-altitude tea-growing areas and is cultivated using eco-friendly methods. Located at approximately 2,200 meters, the area is shrouded in year-round fog and experiences significant temperature swings between day and night. Irrigated by pure mountain springs, the tea produced here has won numerous awards and even been recognized in international competitions. 

The Black Forest is a vital hunting ground for the Atayal and holds deep cultural significance for the tribe. The Kumy Tea is private property. Therefore, those wishing to visit the Black Forest must contact the tribe in advance to arrange a guided tour; do not attempt to travel alone.
