Taiwan Beech

The Taiwan beech (Tinivai) resting platform is located at the entrance of the old Haocha village at an altitude of about 830 meters. There is a Taiwan beech with a thick trunk of about 1 meter in diameter and a height of 6 meters. There are stacked slate stools under the tree. The platform faces the valley, overlooking the South Aliao River. Today, the Taiwan beech (Tinivai) is an important landmark on the way to the old village for the tribesmen. Before migrating away from the village, it was also the resting place between old Haocha and the plains in the west. It takes about an hour and a half to go from the Taiwan beech to old Haocha. After passing the resting place, you can see the village in the distance.
