羅東鎮 · Nature & Scenery
Riding a century-old railway into forestry culture, and wandering through the green mountains and waters of Lanyang, we live alongside nature in the city. Located inside the Luodong Forestry Cultural Park, this was once an important transfer hub for the Taipingshan Forest District during the heyday of Taiwan’s timber industry. Buildings and industrial relics from the Japanese colonial era remain today, including log-hauling trains, railway artifacts, and Zhu Lin Station. The former log pond has been transformed into an ecological pond, and the mix of aquatic and terrestrial environments creates diverse habitats with rich biodiversity.
Luodong Forestry Culture Park
羅東鎮 · Nature & Scenery
During the Japanese colonial period, there were three major government-run forest farms: Alishan, Basianshan, and Taipingshan, with Taipingshan being the later-developed one. Luodong Forestry Culture Park is the former site of the Luodong Branch Office and timber storage pond from the Japanese era. Since logging in Taipingshan ended in 1982, most of the area has remained in its original form. In 2004, the Yilan Branch of the Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency planned the site as a forestry culture park and renovated it to combine forestry history, ecological sustainability, and design. In addition to restoring the park’s former forestry heritage, it also highlights the historical significance of Taipingshan forestry and Luodong’s urban development. In 2012, the park was officially registered as a cultural landscape under the Cultural Heritage Preservation Act under its old name, Luodong Forest Farm.
