Lintianshan Cultural Park Introduction
LinTian Mountain is located in a valley terrain south of the Wanli River, north of the Mataian River, and east of the Central Mountain Range. It was once the largest timber gathering site in eastern Taiwan. Although it is not the largest forest area in Taiwan, it has preserved the environment, settlements, and cultural aspects most completely in the past. During the Japanese colonial period, a 68-kilometer timber transportation railway was established, reaching an altitude of 2,500 meters, which thrived for a time and left behind many cultural relics such as buildings, houses, shops, and theaters. After the logging ban policy was implemented in 1987, many of the area's high-quality timber had a chance to breathe and gradually returned to the lush natural scenery of the past. Today, LinTian Mountain blends the natural forest with an artistic atmosphere. Visitors can walk along the steps of the trail to explore old houses and the lush scenery, reminiscing about the past. They can also revisit the Great Hall, theater facilities, and other old sites to trace the footsteps of their predecessors and the artifacts left behind, and there is an opportunity to hear the staff of the LinTian Mountain Cultural and Historical Studio narrate "The Story of Senban."
