Tucked away in the forests of the Nantianmu Scenic Area, the teahouse “Deer-Crane Garden” is a quiet spot built for enjoying views, sipping tea, and tasting tea snacks. Blending with Tucheng’s natural mountain scenery, it serves healthy vegetarian light meals, premium teas, and delicate pastries in an atmosphere of understated elegance. “Deer” evokes the “lu” of fortune, rank, and longevity; “Crane” suggests the “he” of peace. Together, “Deer-Crane” sounds like the Taiwanese phrase for “getting better and better,” a name chosen with great care. “We vow that the moment people step inside, their minds will instantly settle,” the owner says, stressing the teahouse’s ethos of serenity. Nestled beside both mountain and stream, it lets visitors forget the troubles below; when mist rises or a soft rain drifts by, the scene turns dreamily romantic, casting a spell that lingers long after the cup is empty.
