The "Couple Trees," located along the New Central Cross-Island Highway, are one of the most symbolic landmarks within Yushan National Park. These two massive Taiwan red cypress trees once suffered severe fire damage, leaving their trunks charred. Yet, they remain standing tall side by side, representing resilience and symbolizing eternal love and unwavering companionship. Travelers often stop here to admire the unique sight and capture photos of this iconic natural monument. Surrounded by magnificent mountain scenery that changes with the seasons, the Couple Trees are a must-see highlight along the route and a touching reminder of the enduring vitality of Taiwan’s high-mountain forests.
