Lintianshan

Lintianshan Forestry Culture Park (林田山林業事業文化園區) is one of the three major forest farms in eastern Taiwan. The most eye-catching features in the park include the well-preserved Japanese cypress houses, historical logging tools, the Zhongshan Hall used for social and entertainment purposes, a group of Japanese cypress buildings, and the transportation railway, all of which bear the traces of history.

During the peak of logging in Taiwan in the 1960s, the Hualien cypress forests were developed for over half a century from Langshan, Harun, to Lintianshan (林田山林業事業文化園區). The bustling scene in the Lintianshan (林田山林業事業文化園區) area was once known as ""Little Shanghai,"" with a population of over two thousand people, forming a community. As a result, facilities such as a clinic, welfare society, rice shop, grocery store, laundry, barber shop, fire brigade, kindergarten, and elementary school were built to meet the community's needs, creating a rich living environment at that time.

Today, there are still about 50 residents living here. As visitors stroll through the park, observing the daily life of the residents coexisting with the Japanese-style dormitories, there is a sense of dissonance yet also a surreal feeling of crossing time and space.

The entire park can be explored at a leisurely pace in about an hour. For a deeper experience, visitors can proceed to the ""Morisaka Trail"" within the park, not only to burn some calories but also to further appreciate the beauty of living in harmony with the forest in this area.
