Located in Shoufeng Township, Hualien County, Chihnan National Forest Recreation Area was once one of Taiwan's three major forestry bases. The full‑price ticket of NT$40 is great value, with additional discounts for students and seniors, and pets are allowed (subject to regulations). The park is small yet exquisite, not overcrowded, and offers both natural ecology and cultural history charm.
Here, you will find well‑preserved remnants of the Halun Forest Railway, including blue‑and‑white retro trolley cars, a rare climbing steam locomotive, and the “liulong” cable logging system, recreating the glory days of logging. Several low‑altitude trails are easy and effortless, including barrier‑free routes, surrounded by phytoncides, with sightings of various butterflies like the common bluebottle along the way, accompanied by the sounds of insects and birds.
In spring (April), a “Glittering Fireflies” night viewing activity is launched, and the Nature Education Centre offers educational ecological courses and orienteering experiences. The park is near Liyu Lake, making it convenient to plan a day trip. Whether for family outings, hiking with friends, or pet adventures, you can relax in the tranquil mountain forest and experience the dual charm of nature and history.

The trail runs alongside Lao Creek, offering scenic views of the creek, and serves as an environmental education site explaining the relationship between forests and water.

Planned by the Japanese and expanded by the Nationalist Government, a nearly 50‑kilometre‑long forest railway empire, Hualien's most glorious, was built.

The Forestry Exhibition Hall introduces changes in forest ecology at different altitudes, as well as animal and plant life, and features interactive games for families.
