Sleeping Forest Theme Park Introduction
The small park next to Beimen Station and Yushan Hotel has existed since the Japanese colonial period. Illustrator SMART (Zhuang Xintang) designed a series of Q-version animal shapes such as polar bears, pink elephants, foxes, owls, penguins, and squirrels with the theme "Sleeping Forest." Combined with the existing green trees, air raid shelters, and lampposts, visitors can enjoy a vibrant yet tranquil forest atmosphere while walking through it. The cherry blossom iron archway at the entrance echoes the image of Beimen Station as the gateway to Alishan; birdcage and owl-shaped decorative lampposts feature stars, moons, and suns. The old wax apple tree, aged 50 years, and nostalgic air raid shelters hang colorful lights, creating a mesmerizing display of light and shadows at night.
