A VISIT TO TAIWAN'S MOST REMOTE VILLAGE AND ONLY COMMUNE | 參觀台灣唯一的公社村落 - 斯馬庫斯小旅行 (有中文字幕)

Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @asiahikelopedia   Join me as I head into the remotest part of Hsinchu County to check out a picturesque village that is so remote it is nicknamed “God’s Tribe”. The village is unique as it operates as a commune based on the Israeli "kibbutz" system and is a short walk away from a forest full of giant 3,000-year old cypress trees.

Transport: Getting to Smangus (斯馬庫斯) and the trailhead is not easy and requires private transport as there are no scheduled bus services. Driving takes about 3 hours from Hsinchu and 4 hours from the Taipei area. Please note that there are travel restrictions on the last 16km of the journey. Check the community website for details. Some travel companies run shuttle buses to the trail and buses with drivers can also be rented.
