Lilenci exploration center Heping Taichung 裡冷溪探索園區台中和平

After our first camping trip, we were looking forward to our next. So we organise a 2 nights camping trip a bit further up in Taichung area during the April long holiday. Lilenci exploration center is a bit further into the mountain from Kukuan (a famous hot spring in Taichung area). It was actually quite easy to get there from Kaohsiung though highway no 1 and provincial highway no 8. We left at 9:30am and arrived at the campsite at 2pm with lunch and toilet break.

Look for Goya hot spring resort on google map. then look for the campsite sign

As usual, the google map did not show the road to our campsite. The best way to find it is to follow the sign to Goya hot spring resort. Before driving into Goya hot spring resort, make a left turn cross the Lilen creek and drive on the other side of the creek on the Lilenlin drive until the end of the road.

It was a good day to be outdoor, sunny and clear sky. It took Victor less than 1 hour to set up our tent this time, big improvement from the first camp trip. We bought the tent poles after the first camp trip to put up the awning providing some shady area in front of the tent. And I found that putting a picnic mat in front of the inner tent is actually a very good idea to avoid the dirt being carried into the tent.

It was a good campsite and great trip. We saw firefly, lunar eclipse, Jupiter, Venus and Mars. We enjoyed our hot spring at Goya hot spring both nights. We definitely recommend it!
