Great Roots Forestry Spa Resort is located in the Dabao River basin in Sanxia District, New Taipei City. The resort covers a 20-hectare site that was formerly Taiwans biggest tea-processing plant during the Japanese colonial period. The facilities of the nearly century-old resort include a vacation villa formerly used by the Japanese royal family, as well as gardens, fishponds and forest trails. The grounds also include the only low-elevation primitive tropical rain forest in Taiwan, with rare century-old tabular root buttress root trees. Veined mountain figs Ficus nervosa, Ficus variegata and tree ferns from the dinosaur age are among the nearly 500 species of plants in the rain forest. The forest is also home to more than 4,000 kinds of insect and over 30 kinds of bird, among them the blue-winged pitta, a globally protected species. These entire rare natural wonders wait along with the healthy and relaxing essences of the forest at the resort. Rates are based on double occupancy. Charges for extra adults may apply and will be due directly to the hotel.
