The Secret Garden of the City: Luodong Forestry Culture Park
The Park used to be the vital lumber transfer hub of Taipingshan Forest Station. Wufen Train Rail (the half-gauge train rail) and Jhulin Station were constructed beside the log pond for ease of transportation. Forestry-related communities emerged and developed nearby as a result. The Park was officially registered as a cultural landscape according to the Cultural Heritage Preservation Act in 2012.
Trail of Tallow Trees with Fragrance of Woodchips
A trail amid the tallow trees with the fragrance of woodchips welcomes the tourists at the northern entrance of the Park. Whether it is rainy or sunny, a walk on the trail always feels refreshing. Facilities in the Park include the Ecological Pool (Log Pond), Aquatic Plant Pool, Aquatic Plant Exhibition, Steam Locomotive Exhibition, Forest Railway, and Pond Trail. Combined with functions of leisure, education, and culture, it is a fine site for ecological observation.
