神木 溪头位於南投县鹿谷乡凤凰山麓，海拔１１５０米的高山上。气候长年凉爽，溪头最吸引 人的莫过於这里的森林植物，这里有台湾黄杉、蛮大杉、红桧、台湾肖楠、日本扁柏等。 着名的溪头神木属红桧巨木，树龄将近３０００年，树高４６米，树围１６．８米，主干 早已朽空，中间包有一块大石头，像是大树腹部结石一般。据说是当树根从上往下生长时 连土带石一起包围起来，後来土被雨水冲走或被树根吸收，留下石头在树皮里，形成树包 石的奇景。当年森林重整砍伐时因其经济价值不高而得以留存至今 "Hsitou is located in Lugu Township in Nantou County, at the foot of Fenghuan (Phoenix) mountain at an elevation of 1150 meters. The climate is cool the entire year. The most appealing part of Hsitou are the forest plants like the big cedar (Taiwan Huang Shan), the Chinese juniper, Taiwan incense-cedar, Japanese cypress and so on. A famous tree growing near the stream is the Chinese juniper, which is nearly 3000 years old, 46 meters high and has a circumference of 16.8 meters. The branch is already decayed but a big stone still stands in the middle. It is said that the tree roots captured dirt and stones from the bottom when it grew. Afterward, the soil was absorbed by the tree or flushed away by the rain, leaving the stones within the bark of the tree, the tree thus capturing the stones. In past times, the forest was not cut down due to low values of its lumber, and therefore the forest as it was until now. --
