[2025 Hualien Attraction] Travel Guide for Lintienshan Forestry Culture Park (Updated Mar)

Explore the hidden forest gem in Hualien Valley, Lintienshan, which was once Taiwan's fourth largest logging site, following Basianshan, Alishan, and Taipingshan. It was once known as 'Little Shanghai' and remains the most well-preserved logging base. Although logging has been banned, Lintienshan has transformed into a cultural park that combines community and cultural preservation. It is an ideal spot for family visitors to enjoy nature while learning and having fun. The elevated railway boardwalk and the small logging train are popular photo spots for tourists. The park is rich in various logging tools, traditional firefighting equipment, and other cultural artifacts. It also features the grand Zhongshan Hall, a cluster of Japanese cypress buildings, and a cypress-scented café, perfect for a leisurely afternoon.

Hualien Lintianshan Forestry Culture Park, formerly the fourth largest forest farm in Taiwan, once known as the Hometown of Taiwan's Elm, regardless of its size or importance, is the most complete and distinctive logging base left by Taiwan. As early as the beginning of the Japanese occupation, the Japanese began to reclaim in the Lintianshan area. Until the policy of the total ban on logging of natural forests in Taiwan in the 1980s, the logging operation of Lintianshan was officially stopped. For more than a decade, the workstations in the forest area have been successively cut, and the past bustling scenes of Lin Tianshan have gradually disappeared, becoming a quiet and deserted hill city. Now entering the Lintian Mountain Forest Farm, the coffin houses and the old railways left on the hillside are all traces of the past years. This place is called "Morissaka" during the Japanese occupation. It still retains abandoned Japanese houses, auditoriums and projectors with a long history. A variety of wood carvings were exhibited in the exhibition hall that was converted into a Japanese-style building. The Field Museum is a very fine Japanese-style building. It is well preserved and has a reasonable interior layout. It is a good place to learn about Japanese architecture. During the heyday of Lintian Mountain, more than 2,000 people lived here. Kindergartens, elementary schools, hot perm shops, welfare agencies, public canteens, railway stations, etc. have emerged as the times require, and even there is a place for public gatherings - Zhongshan Hall, where free movies are broadcast every week. The bustling scene at that time can be imagined.

#1月好去地方2025 #Hualien #Fenglin Lintian Mountain was once the fourth largest forestry farm in Taiwan Witness the history of Taiwan's forestry development The park hall displays the lifestyle of former residents and logging tools But what I like most is the cypress fragrance that fills the hall, full of phytoncides There are also trails and old railways in the park where you can take a walk and take photos The air is fresh and close to nature, very comfortable☺️ Before entering the park, there are vendors selling various cypress products This time I bought cypress chopsticks, which are very useful!

#familytrips2024 I brought my family to tour Taiwan in which it was our first overseas trip to Taiwan. One of the places we visited was Lintianshan Forestry Park. It was huge forest/park where there were many trees and you also got to learn about the logging and wood carving process. As stated, you also got to admire the beautiful wood carves in display. In 2024, I hope to bring my family to Cameron Highlands.

Lintienshan Forestry Culture Park (林田山林業文化園區) is a historic attraction and there is a museum inside for a visit. It is a pretty quiet walk along the way and offers a beautiful view of the nature. This place is famous for its cypress wood and we can literally smell it from far! There are many vendors along the street selling cypress wood related products such as combs, essential oil and handmade crafts! Address: #fallishere

Lintian Mountain is located in Fenglin Township, Hualien County. It used to be a famous forest farm. It is especially famous in the Japanese occupation era. It was once known as the Hometown of Taiwan's Elm. Now because forest protection has long been discontinued, it has become an industrial relics scenic spot. The year of transporting wood, also known as "Little Jiufen", is a very quiet literary community. Lin Tianshan still retains the railways, trains, and Japanese-style coffin houses that transported timber that year. Compared with Jiufen, this small industrial remnant is quieter, strolling through the mountains and reminiscing about the time of the year. Very comfortable. PS: The full-legged pig's foot near Lintian Mountain is worth a visit. It is said to be full girl. In fact, it is a full mother-in-law. The full-time mother-in-law is a Hakka. This Hualien is famous for her full-legged pig's feet. The shop is also based on Hakka-style braised pork trotters and chopped hooves. It tastes fragrant and not salty. The meat is succulent, the entrance is instant, and the price is fair. It is recommended.
