Situated at the border of Longtan and Yangmei, Mugu Mountain, renowned for its dreamy and enchanting night view, has long been a popular choice for scenic tours in Taoyuan. Standing at an elevation of 390 meters, the mountain's shape resembling a woman's breast inspired the unique name by local Hakka residents who constitute the main population. Whether one is enjoying the romantic scenery of twinkling lights in the breathtaking night or savoring the sight of the tea fields during the day, Mugu Mountain never fails to leave a lasting impression. The bustling scene along Yangtong Road where numerous panoramic eateries serve Hakka cuisine, creative desserts, natural vegetarian dishes, and coffee and tea, reveals Mugu Mountain's breathtaking landscape worth a visit.
Positioned in the bend of Dahan River, the low-elevation Mugu Mountain offers unrestricted views. The entire Longtan area, Dahan River plains, and even Guanshan, Zhongli, Qingpu, and Linkou are clearly visible. On days with excellent visibility, the Taipei 101 building might even be spotted, making it a preferred location for the New Year celebrations to catch the fireworks display from the best vantage point. Whether watching the golden sunlight flooding the valley during sunset or admiring the lavish sight of bright lights as night falls, choosing one of these restaurants to enjoy food and landscape together will surely maximize the value of the journey.
Mugu Mountain, with its rich rainfall and red soil, forms ideal conditions for tea production and is a significant tea area in Taoyuan. Having a history spanning over a century, Fu Yuan Tea Factory located on Mugu Mountain is famous for its classic types of tea such as Tea No.18 Black Tea, Oriental Beauty Tea, and Sour Pomelo Tea. Especially notable is that its Japanese-style green tea is used by the renowned beverage brand Cha Li Wang. Planning a tea-tasting journey and participating in tea-picking and tea-rolling experiences is an excellent way to understand Mugu Mountain.
