Nibanto Interpretation Station Introduction
Located on the Shimaxian Forest Road in Taian Township, Miaoli County, "Erben Song" is a place filled with Japanese-style charm, just like "Xuejian." Do you know how the name "Erben Song" came about? It goes back to the Japanese colonial period when a police station named Erben Song was established here, and there were two towering pine trees in front of the building, which led people to refer to it as "Erben Song." Although the buildings are no longer standing, remnants of the former tree trunks can still be seen for people to reminisce. The old site of the police station has now been redesigned as the Erben Song Interpretation Station, staffed with indigenous tour guides and volunteers who lead visitors to explore the abundant cultural history, indigenous culture, and ecological features of the surrounding area. On clear days, we can overlook the magnificent Da'an River Valley, the eight tribes of Nansan Village, and even Shilin Dam from the observation platform, making it one of the best viewpoints along the Xuejian route. Walking in this pristine forest, we can stroll through the beautiful paths formed by lush bamboo groves and towering yew and fragrant cedar trees, experiencing the calm and serene atmosphere that makes people linger.
