Maosing Station
The bright little "Beng Beng" tourist train chugs along a cliffside route from the Visitor Center to Maosing, giving visitors a taste of the old logging days of Taipingshan. The ride is a good way to experience the mountain and valley views as they transform amidst the clouds and mist. The track also winds through the green canopies of the Red Cypress, Taiwanese Yellow Cypress and Cryptomeria woods. From Maosing, visitors can continue along the Maosing Trail to view a majestic three-tier waterfall.
