Couple Trees, Natural monument in Xinyi Township, Taiwan
Two ancient red cypress trees stand at an elevation of 2,478 meters along Highway 21, forming a notable natural landmark against mountain slopes.
The trees died in 1963 due to a forest fire, followed by a lightning strike in 1996, with one trunk falling in 2017 due to decay.
Local residents consider these intertwined trees a representation of marriage bonds, making the site a destination for couples seeking relationship blessings.
The site includes designated viewing areas and information panels explaining the natural formation, with parking facilities available at kilometer marker 141.7.
These dead cypress trunks remain preserved at high altitude, creating distinct silhouettes visible from multiple angles along the mountain road curves.
