Huashan (Hua Mountain)

The Huashan (Hua Mountain) area of Gukeng is Taiwan's best-known coffee-growing region, where Arabica coffee from Africa has been successfully planted with help from government agencies. The coffee of Gukeng has a slightly sour, bitter taste that quickly sweetens in the mouth, giving this Taiwan coffee its unique flavor. Coffee shops have sprung up to bring a new industry to the area, and lovers are especially fond of the night scene here.

The "Paper-making street" here is the only place in Taiwan that preserves the purely natural traditional method of making paper by hand.
