— What You Can Expect —
Taipingshan, standing at an elevation of 1,950 meters, is a legendary chapter in Taiwan’s forestry history, second only to Alishan. The Japanese began logging operations here in 1915, a legacy later continued by the Nationalist government, making it Taiwan’s largest timber field. In 1983, it transformed into a National Forest Recreation Area, preserving precious relics like the Jianqing Rail Trail and the iconic Bong Bong Train.
Known as "Miannao" by the Atayal people—meaning "lush and verdant"—Taipingshan was once one of Taiwan's three major logging hubs alongside Alishan and Baxianshan. Today, it remains a living museum, scattered with vintage cableways, forest tracks, and timber yard machinery. Visitors can ride the Bong Bong Train to immerse themselves in a world of forest phytoncides or stroll along the misty shores of Cueifong Lake to listen to nature’s symphony. Whether it's the sea of clouds at dawn or a breathtaking sunrise, every morning here marks a beautiful beginning. And on your way home, do not miss the enchanting thermal springs of Jiuzhize, tucked away in the emerald valley.
