Sleepy 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 chibi animal figures including a polar bear, pink elephant, fox, owl, penguin, and squirrel with the theme of "Sleeping Forest." Combined with the existing green trees, air raid shelters, and streetlights, visitors can feel a vibrant yet tranquil forest atmosphere while strolling through. The cherry blossom iron archway at the entrance reflects the image of Beimen Station as the gateway to Alishan; there are birdcage and owl-shaped decorative streetlights adorned with stars, moons, and suns. A 50-year-old wax apple tree and nostalgic air raid shelters hang colorful lights, casting enchanting light and shadow effects that make the nighttime scene mesmerizing.
