There are three paths to climb Mount Manabang, usually starting from the second parking lot in Dongxing Village, Huda Township. The first half of the road is a spacious cement industrial road, flanked by shady bamboo groves or peach and plum orchards, and there is a viewing pavilion on the way, where you can enjoy the pastoral scenery at the foot of the mountain. In winter, the water vapor brought by the northeast monsoon is blocked in Manabang Mountain, and a magnificent sea of clouds often forms in Linliping and Dongxing. The pavilion here is the best scenic spot. The scenery of the deer farm is located in the deer farm tribe in Donghe Village, Nanzhuang Township. It stands alone on the terraced fields at an altitude of 850 meters, surrounded by mountains, deep valleys and magnificent natural scenery. Here live Atayal people who migrated from Wufeng Township, Hsinchu. After the large-scale relocation, the tribal population dropped sharply and became quiet. This place was once forgotten, but it has attracted attention again because of the wave of tribal exploration for many years. The rustic Shan Ye style, majestic mountains and rivers, and the cliff and canyon scenery contained in Mei Feng Industrial Road, the external gateway of Deer Farm, are intertwined into a world-famous peach blossom wonderland. Shibixia passes Shibi Bridge along the beautiful industrial road. On both sides of the road are towering and continuous large rock walls with steep rock potential and bare texture, showing a rough and primitive atmosphere. If there is a rainy season, many waterfalls will form on the wall, which is quite spectacular. Kuhuatan Kuhuatan is a deep dark green pool formed by Fengmeixi in the lower reaches of Jushitan. Above the pool is a huge white waterfall, which is very spectacular and is a private place for local villagers to play in the water. The river bed below is open, with grotesque rocks and huge stones, lush trees and primitive beauty. Mei Feng Waterfall Group Mei Feng Waterfall Group is located on Kuhuatan. After Kuhuatan, continue on Gongye Road. It takes about 5 minutes to reach the trout farm in Luchang Mountain Villa, follow the back path through the valley, and then return to the waterfall. On the craggy bed of the giant rock, several waterfalls of different sizes rush down the stone steps, forming a multi-level giant waterfall landscape. The splashing water stirs up water vapor in the valley, which permeates all the year round, allowing you to have a rough taste in the beautiful scenery. Fairy Valley has become a holiday resort because of its beautiful scenery. Follow the index, about 10 minutes away from the path shaded by trees. It can be seen that Fengmeixi and Bilinxi are rushing together under the towering rocks, and the sound of water is endless; Due to the geological gap, the stream forms a multi-stage water curtain on the stepped riverbed, and two giant waterfalls with a height of about 30 meters are formed below, which is like flying in the air. However, the water is fast, the rock surface is smooth, and there is a deep cliff pool below, so tourists should avoid it. Mount Gary is 2220 meters above sea level, and the barrier is in the south of the deer farm, which is one of the post stations of Xia Sai nationality. Climbing Gary Mountain is a new hiking route, from the industrial road next to Mei Feng Villa to the entrance of the mountain. It has a wide view, overlooking the whole deer farm and Dadong Valley, and even overlooking Miaoli Plain on sunny days, making it an excellent prospect. The climbing path runs through the Chinese fir plantation. Although it was all the way up the steep slope, it was shaded by trees and rustled, and it took about 3 to 4 hours to reach the top of the mountain. From this angle, you can see the western edge of Xueshan Mountain in the southeast, and the majestic mountains such as Manabang Mountain and Snow Mountain in the south are also panoramic. Nanzhuang Style Nanzhuang Township is located in the northeast of Miaoli County. The country is mountainous and belongs to the branch of Calgary Mountain in the snow-capped mountains. The altitude distribution is about 500~ 1000 meters. The Sino-Hong Kong River and its tributaries Dadong River and Nanhe River run through the territory, bringing clean water and breeding lush forests. The mountains in the territory are green and the clear water is trickling. Shan Lan is elegant and has a primitive and mysterious charm. Nanzhuang used to be the world residence of indigenous Xia Sai people, but later Atayal people moved here to expand their hunting grounds. Today's aborigines only keep some mountain tribes, and most of them live with Hakkas, so they cannot resist the trend of localization. Now they can speak fluent Hakka, and the history of guns and weapons in the past has become the past.

Visitors can enter from the head or the stone beach. 124 County Road is built along Zhonggangxi and South Valley, surrounded by peaks and covered by mountains all year round, with low river steps under the valley, overflowing with fresh air, which is refreshing. The bamboo forest in Zhu Gui, built on the mountain, is continuous, slender and uniform, which is the most distinctive scenery in Nanzhuang. In the four seasons, cherry blossoms, tung trees and wild ginger flowers render different faces, and houses and pastoral stars are scattered among them, forming a quiet pastoral scenery. Along the road, the most striking is the patchwork of "hills" and "farms". Signs are all in the name of mountain rainbow trout and Zhu Gui feast, and leisure items such as shrimp catching, camping barbecue and holiday cabin are added to invite tourists to try and do it early to kill their holidays. Nanzhuang, the hometown of trout, is the largest producer of trout in Beitai Bay, with high terrain and well-preserved forests, pure and rich water quality in the trunk and tributaries of Zhonggangxi and cool climate all the year round. The local fish species are mainly rainbow trout, supplemented by other cold fish such as fragrant fish; The trout dinner was introduced by the industry, and the wild vegetables with stream flavor formed a delicious flavor. Trout is a cold-water fish, which has strict requirements on living environment. Trout is delicious, tender in meat, rich in protein, and almost zero in fat and cholesterol, which is very helpful for invigorating qi and strengthening the body and recovering after illness. However, due to the high content of enzymes in fish, it is easy to rot, so it should be eaten immediately after slaughter, otherwise 1~2 hours later, the fish will become soft and not refreshing, which is why trout must be tasted early, but it is not easy to eat in cities. If tourists want to enjoy the trout feast, they must move to the mountains. The distribution of bamboo producing areas in Zhu Gui ecological Taiwan Province can be described as "South Mongolia and North Guangxi". Nanmeng refers to Zhushan and Xitou, while Beigui refers to Taozhumiao mountainous area, and the latter is the most representative in Nanzhuang Township.
Bamboo forest scenery, bamboo shoot cooking and bamboo weaving technology have become the biggest call of bamboo. Every year, Nanzhuang Rural Farmers' Association launches "Zhu Gui Tour", which includes picking bamboo shoots, tasting bamboo shoots, ecological appreciation of Zhu Gui, bamboo weaving art and so on. At the same time, it combines Xia Sai culture, indigenous local cuisine and song and dance performances, forming a rich banquet with local characteristics.

Hornzanyiju Nature Reserve Hornzanyiju is located in Xihu Village, Sanyi Township, with a north-south trend, which is the boundary mountain between Sanyi Township and Yuanli Town. Its geology consists of gravel, red soil and sand. Because of the soft soil, sand is washed and accumulated by wind and rain, and vegetation does not exist, forming a terrain; Under the setting sun, overlapping ridges and veins are like a brilliant flame, hence the name. Enzan Ijuin is 606 meters above sea level, with steep terrain, special landscape and abundant animal and plant resources. It is an excellent natural ecology class.
Hornzanyijin, located in the north bank of Da 'anxi, where the altitude suddenly rises, the sea breeze directly drives in from Daxikou, Jin Kui, resulting in a large temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountainous area, and the flora also presents a landscape with high, medium and low altitudes. Taiwan Province Province is rich in native plants. Majin Township in Baishatun is a simple fishing village, located at the northwest end of Tongxiao Town. The village is an ancient temple with a long history, and the locals nicknamed it "Baisha Tunma". The biggest feature of this temple is that during the birthday of the Virgin Mary in the sky every year, a large number of believers go to Beigang to hike to the Heavenly Palace. This tradition has been circulating for more than a hundred years, and it still has religious color and has become a spectacle of folk beliefs.
The temple is divided into three floors, two halls and two compartments. The golden glazed tiles are decorated with vivid and gorgeous scissors, which looks magnificent. The main statue of Mazu in the main hall is the soft Mazu at the beginning of the foundation stone laying, with the goddess of health, the land god and the land woman on the left and right, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva on the second floor. The wooden beam carvers and painted golden dragon columns in the temple are all exquisite, and the Tiangong archway beside the provincial road 1 stands tall, adding momentum.
March 23rd of the lunar calendar is the birthday of the Virgin Mary in the sky, which is quite different from the pilgrimage in Mazu Tempel. Good men and women in Gongtiangong still insist on walking through Miaoli, Taichung, Changhua and Yunlin counties, crossing the big river in the middle of Anxi, Dajiaxi, Daduxi and Zhuoshuixi, and walking to Yunlin North Port to worship Tiangong. The round trip is 400 kilometers, which completely preserves the piety and persistence of ancestors.
