New Wei Visitor Center Introduction
The Xinwei Visitor Center is located north of the 45km mark on Provincial Highway 28 in Liugui District and serves as the administrative center for the Maolin National Scenic Area Administration. In 2009, it was severely impacted by Typhoon Morakot, which devastated the Maolin National Scenic Area Administration and its two visitor centers at Maolin and Shihfen Mountain. To ensure convenience and longevity, an administrative and visitor center was established within the park to better serve more tourists. The center features an accessible travel information service counter, diverse exhibition spaces, a multimedia room, a nursing room, a prayer room, a book drop station, and smart device charging facilities. Notably, the beautiful and renowned nearly two-kilometer-long Paulownia Forest Trail lies next to it, attracting seniors who enjoy leisurely walks, nature photography enthusiasts, and couples wanting to take wedding photos. It is recommended to spend about 30 minutes to 1 hour here, not only to gather tourism information about Maolin but also to stroll along the nearby path to relax.
