Lalashan National Forest Recreation Area

Lalashan is located in Fuxing District, Taoyuan City, and is known for its ancient cypress forests and one of the best natural dark environments. As the sacred homeland of the Atayal people, the mountain preserves rich biodiversity alongside traditional star knowledge passed down through generations.

In recent years, local communities and authorities have promoted low–light pollution practices, supporting eco-friendly tourism and raising awareness of night sky conservation. Visitors can learn how responsible lighting design protects nocturnal wildlife and maintains clear, star-filled skies. At night, guided stargazing tours led by local interpreters share Atayal celestial stories, such as the Milky Way as a spiritual path and constellations as ancestral guardians. Far from urban glare, Lalashan’s peaceful darkness offers a profound connection to nature, culture, and the stars, reminding us of the importance of preserving the night.
