Luodong Forestry Culture Park Introduction
The Luodong Forestry Culture Park is located in the conveniently accessible Luodong Township. It was formerly the "Luodong Branch" and the old timber pond site during the Japanese occupation period. In the past, this area was the terminal for timber transportation and processing for the Taiping Mountain Forest Area (one of the three major state-owned forests in Taiwan). After logging operations ceased in Taiping Mountain in 1982, this place retained its original appearance and was transformed in 2004 by the Yilan Branch of the Forestry Bureau. It was officially registered as a "Cultural Landscape" in 2012 under the Cultural Heritage Preservation Act. Today, it has shed its industrial exterior and has become a secret urban garden that integrates history, ecology, and art.
