Located in Sanxia District, New Taipei City, only 50 minutes from Taoyuan International
Airport and also Taipei City. The resort covers a 17-hectare site that was formerly the
biggest tea-processing plant in Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period. There is a vacation
villa formerly used by the Japanese royal family, as well as gardens, fishponds and forest trails.
The resort is tucked among 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 varieties of insects and
over 30 varieties of birds,
among them is the Blue-
Winged Pitta – a globally
protected species. These
rare natural wonders wait
along with the healthy and
relaxing essences of the
forest at the resort.
In addition to enjoying the
natural scenery, visitors
can take a soothing and
skin-pampering soak in the
carbonic hot springs at the
resort. Relax at the hot spa
area, which overlooks the
beautiful forests of Sanxia.
The stunning natural setting
contributes to an unrivaled
relaxation experience. In a
world where technology has
allowed stress to become a
constant companion, Great
Roots Forestry Spa Resort
offers a moment’s rest. It is
a place where you see the
world, and even yourself, a
little bit differently. Where
you can find your center,
soothe your body and stir
your imagination, and where
you find the fuel that feeds
your soul.
