Zen and Pine Resort is located in Shuili Township, Nantou County. Covering an area of over 24 square kilometers, the resort is built on what was the second largest lumber landing and mill site in the Shuili area during the 1960s and 1970s. After the 921 Earthquake, a local celebrity, Dr. Yang purchased the land and began an ambitious reforestation effort planting large numbers of Taiwan White Pine trees. Although it requires several years for such pines to reach their potential, these magnificent trees currently provide a uniquely beautiful setting for one of Nantou County’s most enchanting accommodation spots.

Zen and Pine Resort is a fully licensed facility Based on Dr. Yang’s principles of sustainable operation and respect for national regulations. Pine Garden B&B, license no.260, and Zen Garden B&B, license no. 279, comprise two separate accommodation complexes, but are jointly managed by the Zen and Pine Resort team.
