Where is the place?
While I was walking on foot from Honoki village to the station, I found it by chance. By train or bus, get off at Chiayi Station. Walk for about 20 minutes along Linsen West Road. It is very close to Hinoki Village. It is located between Zhongxiao Road and Cultural Road on the north side of Linsen West Road.
