[2025 Yilan Attraction] Travel Guide for Luodong Forestry Culture Park (Updated Apr)

Yesterday I visited the Luodong Forestry Culture Park in Yilan County. After renovation, it has forestry history, ecological sustainability education and many designs. In addition to allowing me to learn about the forestry culture of the past, I also understood the history of the development of Luodong Town. It is very meaningful! #Luodong Forestry Culture Park Address: No. 118, Zhongzheng North Road, Luodong Town, Yilan County

The Forestry Culture Park in Luodong, Yilan, covers an area of ​​about 13 hectares. It was the main timber storage pond in the Taipingshan forest area during the Japanese occupation period. In addition to the beautiful lakeside trail, there is also a large area of ​​afforestation and rest space. In addition, a small section of the railway that was originally used to transport trees and a model of a restored train are preserved for tourists to visit. It is a very comfortable place. If you go to Luodong, Yilan, you can not only visit the night market, but also come to the Forestry Culture Park for a walk.

This is one of my favorite Yilan attractions. There are many woods and beautiful pools in the Luodong Forestry Culture Park. The ecology is very good and it is a great attraction for parents and children to have fun together. #familytravel

The place we visited this time was the "Luodong Forestry Cultural Park". When we came to this place, of course we had to talk about the history of forestry. According to the information we found, it turns out that Luodong is closely related to the development of forestry. At one time, Taipingshan Forest Farm was very prosperous, which also led to the development of Luodong. This park began to be planned in 1993 and was officially opened to the public in 1998. It is actually a place worth visiting. There are many good places to walk in the cultural park, and everywhere you look is green (as can be seen from photos 2 and 3). In terms of transportation, this cultural park can be visited by driving, taking a train, or taking a bus. I drove here this time, which is actually very convenient. Once I got off at the Luodong Interchange, I could easily find the place. But for friends who don’t have a car, taking a train or bus is just as convenient. If you take your time to see the entire park, one afternoon is actually enough. So if you want to visit the famous Luodong Night Market after finishing your visit to the park, you can have a good meal! #Taiwan's forestry development #A cultural park brings a leisurely afternoon

Morning: Depart from Jiaoxi - Yilan Performing Arts Center - Luodong Forestry Culture Park Afternoon: Lanyang Museum - Wushi Harbor - Mr. Brown Coffee Castle Evening: Luodong Night Market - Jiaoxi Hot Spring Bath Transportation: Motorcycle (NT300~450/day) Yilan Performing Arts Center: The cultural park is designed with the concept of 'three halls, three streets, and three buildings', linking traditional crafts, folk arts, and performances. It allows visitors to experience the architecture inherited from Southern Fujian and the living relics of the ancestors, as well as modern innovative crafts, offering a different sensation from the past. Ticket price: NT150/person. Luodong Forestry Culture Park: During the Japanese colonial period, Taiwan had three major government-operated forestries: Alishan, Basianshan, and Taipingshan, among which Taipingshan was developed later. The Luodong Forestry Culture Park is the former site of the Luodong branch office and log pond from that era. In 1982, logging in Taipingshan ceased, and in 2004, this area was planned as a forestry culture park. After refurbishment, integrating forestry history and sustainable ecological planning, it was opened to the public for free in 2012 under the old name of Luodong Forestry. The park is lush with trees and is the perfect place for a picnic and to escape the heat at noon. Lanyang Museum: Located in the Wushi Harbor Heritage Park, the museum's architecture blends with the natural landscape, resembling an organism coexisting with the earth. The interior space of the museum is uniquely designed, especially when taking the elevator upwards, it feels like a space from another world. The museum's collection showcases the overall geographical environment and cultural trajectory of Yilan, making it well worth a visit. On weekdays, there are many visitors, and it is best to use the museum's closing day on Monday for photography. The opening hours on weekdays are 9:00~17:00. Wushi Harbor: Next to the Lanyang Museum is Wushi Harbor, named for the black reefs in the harbor area, hence the residents called this port 'Wu Kou Harbor'. In old times, Wushi Harbor was the largest city in Lanyang and an important gateway to Toucheng. 'Shigang Spring Sails' describes the scene of ships coming and going incessantly at that time, and it is one of the eight scenic spots of Lanyang. It is now a leisure fishing port in the Yilan area, where people board boats for whale and dolphin watching or to visit Turtle Island. Mr. Brown Coffee Castle: The Mr. Brown Coffee Castle in Toucheng is located halfway up the hill, overlooking Wushi Harbor & Wai'ao Beach. It is a highly popular scenic restaurant. Visiting the Mr. Brown Coffee Castle is free of charge, and the minimum consumption for dining in is just one drink. Moreover, the menu prices are the same as in other Mr. Brown coffee shops, without any price gouging.

A wood processing plant in the early Japanese era. The strong camphor wood fragrance and cool air-conditioning in some of the exhibition rooms make people feel very comfortable. Once you enter, you don’t want to go out. There are many small sceneries in the park that can be photographed. There is a small market at the end of the lake where you can go shopping. The things are not expensive. As long as you dare to bargain, you can definitely get them at a cheap price. The coffee shop next to the train station is a little expensive. If you just want to quench your thirst, go to the small market. 📍 No. 118, Zhongzheng North Road, Luodong Township, Yilan County 265 #Taiwan City Attractions #Weekend Tour #Good Places #Check-in #Cultural Exhibition

The Luodong Forest Farm Forest Products Museum was originally the dormitory for the staff and stationmaster of the Luodong Forest Farm. After renovation and decoration, it presents the complete history of Taipingshan forestry production many years ago. The Forest Products Museum uses timber transportation models, old tools, and a large number of old photos to experience the grand scene of the forest farm in the past, and allows visitors to understand the process of forest resource utilization and the wisdom of technological development, and to understand the new forestry concept! Here I can see the wisdom of our ancestors, the progress of forestry, and the importance of forest conservation. You can bring your children to see this to increase their awareness of environmental conservation! #Yilan Attractions #Yilan good places

Yilan Luodong Forestry Culture Park was originally the Luodong Forest Farm for storing timber. After being revitalized, it has been transformed into an ecological park! There are also special facilities such as forest railways, traditional trains and ancient wood art for tourists to visit! Among them, the Bamboo Forest Station built with cypress wood is a must-see attraction for tourists. The old-fashioned passenger car and forest railway are both popular photo spots, and the photo effects of using business cards are great! The park has a large green area and ponds and lakes. In addition to a beautiful environment, it also has the function of balancing the temperature! Although the weather is hot now, it feels quite comfortable to walk around inside. This place is very suitable for the whole family to enjoy the vacation together! Address: No. 118, Zhongzheng North Road, Luodong Town, Yilan County #Yilan Attractions #Yilan Places to Visit

Luodong Forestry Culture Park is a great place for families. The environment is clean and comfortable. You can walk around the park. The surrounding area is built in Japanese architectural style, which is very suitable for taking photos.

Taking advantage of the tail end of the holiday, let’s make a hassle-free trip to Luodong. It was my first time to visit Luodong Forestry Culture Park. The whole park is centered on a lake, surrounded by many wood-related buildings, cultural relics, souvenir shops, etc., all of which describe the characteristics of the park. The old buildings have been renovated and have a unique style. My favorite thing in the park is the green train. Standing on it and looking outside, I can feel the nostalgic scene of the time. It is highly recommended as a must-see attraction for tourists visiting Luodong.

I visited Luodong Forest Farm in July. It was under renovation and only certain entrances and exits were allowed. It was a little inconvenient. The forest trail was also under renovation, so I couldn't visit the entire forest area. It was a pity. The lake view at the entrance was beautiful. The coffee sold in the coffee shop was also good. However, a driving training center opened on the other side of the lake. The color was a bit abrupt. There were many wood carvings in the forest area. The cypress smelled very good. There was a forest craft jewelry store at the side door. I recommend going there. The music clocks, music boxes and other products inside were very exquisite.
