Lintianshan Cultural Park Introduction
Lintienshan is located in a valley terrain south of Wanli River, north of Matouan River, 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 its environment, settlements, and cultural life the most completely in the past. During the Japanese occupation period, a 68-kilometer logging railway was built, reaching an altitude of 2,500 meters, thriving for a time, leaving many cultural relics such as buildings, stores, and theaters. After the timber restriction policy in 1987, many high-quality trees in this area finally had a chance to breathe and gradually regained their former lush natural appearance. Today, Lintienshan combines the atmosphere of natural forests and cultural arts. Visitors can stroll along the stepped trails to explore old buildings and the verdant scenery, reminiscing about the past while also revisiting old places such as the grand auditorium and theater facilities, tracing the footsteps and artifacts left by predecessors, and have the opportunity to hear the "story of Senbanka" told by staff from the Lintienshan Cultural and Historical Work Studio.
