Nibontsuko Information Center Introduction
Located on the Shima Stream Forest Road in Tai'an Township, Miaoli County, "Erben Song" is a place filled with Japanese charm, reminiscent of "Yukimi." Do you know how the name "Erben Song" came about? It dates back to the Japanese colonial period when a police station named Erben Song was established here, with two towering pine trees in front of the building. Therefore, people called it "Erben Song." Although the building no longer exists, the remnants of the trees can still be seen, serving as a reminder of the past. The old site of the police station has now been repurposed into the Erben Song Interpretation Station, staffed by Indigenous guides and volunteers who lead visitors to explore the rich cultural history, Indigenous culture, and ecological wonders in the surrounding area. On sunny days, we can overlook the magnificent Daan River Valley, the eight tribes of Nansan Village, and even the Shilin Dam from the observation platform, making it the best vantage point along the Yukimi route. Arriving in this pristine forest, visitors can stroll through the lush bamboo groves and the beautiful forest road formed by towering Yews and Hinoki cypress, feeling the tranquil and serene atmosphere that makes one linger and reluctant to leave.
