Taoyuan bat cave

Taoyuan bat cave

Taoyuan bat cave is a limestone cave at the foot of Maohe mountain in jinshanli, Guanxi Town, Hsinchu County. The cave is deep and unpredictable, with few people. When the sun goes down in the west, thousands of bats are flying all over the sky, weaving up and down, and setting off with the haze. It can be called a spectacle. Therefore, it has the reputation of "hat box flying baton", one of the 12 scenic spots in Hsinchu. When you enter the cave, you'd better wear long sleeves and trousers. The hole is narrow and narrow, and only one person can enter it sideways. The bat will hibernate at the top of the cave. The cave is rugged and narrow, up and down, and there are water drops dripping from the top of the cave from time to time. It's difficult to get out of the cave without losing face.

Bat Cave

Located in wuliaoxi Valley to the east of Sanmin Village, Fuxing Township, Taoyuan Sanmin bat cave is well-known for its bat habitat. Along the way, we can see the deep depression of the stream stone. The bat cave is located between the cliffs. It was discovered in the 20th year of the Republic of China. The cave is natural, crude and primitive. The cave is spacious enough to accommodate nearly a thousand people. However, there is a marble block in front of the cave, so it is a rare natural cave cave. Back to the top of bat cave, there is a waterfall in front of Sanmin bat cave in Taoyuan. In the valley, there is a clear pool and a clear stream. When it rains, the waterfall rushes rapidly, shaking people. When it dries up, the graceful water curtain flows slowly, but the rock surface is smooth, which often makes people fall on all fours. Inside the cave is a half moon shaped grotesque rock. The ground is inclined from the inside to the outside. It looks like an opera stage. It's on the Bank of the river, having a picnic, dribbling in the water, playing with shrimps and crabs, listening to frogs and cicadas, and other natural movements. It can clear the worldly worries and forget the fetters of the world.

Too many people come here to disturb bat's life, and bats migrate one after another. Fortunately, the water is still there. Therefore, the cave is wide and close to the valley. The environment is quiet, the mountains are clear, the water is cool and pleasant. On the contrary, it becomes the best place for holiday outings, camping, picnics, barbecues and water games.

Bat cave is located at the edge of the stream valley. Once it rains, the stream rises sharply, which is very dangerous. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not go there for a few days after heavy rain.
