Illustrative Five Yuan Two Jiao is in Caoling, Gukeng Township, Yunlin County, at an elevation of about 1,600 metres, a natural landscape wrapped in Moso bamboo forest. The grounds are dotted with bamboo-woven pavilions; the cumulative count of their corners gave the spot its name 'five yuan and two jiao', and the scene evokes a hidden-away atmosphere reminiscent of Kyoto's Arashiyama.
