Lintian Shan Cultural Park Introduction
Lintienshan is located in the valley terrain south of Wanli Creek, north of Mataian Creek, and east of the Central Mountain Range. It was once the largest timber collection 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 compared to others. During the Japanese occupation period, a 68-kilometer railway for transporting timber was established, reaching an elevation of 2,500 meters, flourishing for a time and leaving behind many cultural relics such as buildings, shops, and theaters. After the logging ban policy enacted in 1987, many high-quality timber in this area finally had a chance to breathe, gradually returning to the lush natural scenery of the past. Today, Lintienshan combines the essence of natural forests and cultural arts, allowing visitors to walk along the sloped pathways, explore old residences and the verdant landscape, immerse themselves in the past, revisit historic sites like the auditorium and theater, trace the footsteps of predecessors, and even have the chance to hear stories about "Senban" from the staff of the Lintienshan Cultural and Historical Studio.
