H2O Forest — Restaurant in Toucheng Township

It's quite a nice location, nestled in the side of a hill by a stream. Access is by a walking track about 50m off the main road. We came here on a Saturday afternoon, so it was relatively quiet.

I'm advised that this place can be very crowded on weekends or holidays, so be advised. Also, be wary of mosquitoes. I found out...
