The green secrets of Taitung people's daily lives

When it comes to the natural beauty of Taitung, people may think of hot air balloons, golden needle flowers, and valley scenery, but did you know? In the center of Taitung City, there is a "Taitung Forest Park" that is like a secret place in the city. It is the favorite place for locals to walk, exercise and relax.
This place is known as the "green lung of Taitung". The park has a vast hinterland and lush greenery. It integrates wetland ecology, forest trails and artificial lakes. Not only is the air good, but you can also overlook the coast and the blue sky and white clouds of Taitung. It is the best choice for "light travel" and "quiet walk".

🌿 A healing experience that satisfies the senses of nature
1️⃣ Lake Biwa
The most famous landmark lake in the forest park, the water surface is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and green trees, with wooden plank roads and pavilions in the lake, it is super suitable for walking, picnics and taking pictures. In the morning and evening, you can often see many egrets and wild birds foraging, birds singing and flowers blooming, like a poem and painting.
2️⃣ Black Forest (Casuarina Forest)
A whole straight and tall Casuarina forest, with densely arranged trunks like natural buildings, the temperature drops instantly when you walk in, and it is full of fantasy when the light shines obliquely. This place is also known as the "most beautiful forest runway in the east". Whether walking or riding a bicycle, you will feel particularly quiet and comfortable.
3️⃣ Bicycle Trail & Wetland Ecological Area
The park has a complete bicycle trail. You can rent a bicycle and ride slowly through the tree-lined trails and lakeside plank roads. Along the way, you will pass through many wetland protection areas and see ecological interpretation signs. It is suitable for parents and children to play and learn about nature together.
4️⃣ Entrance and exit directly to the seaside
It only takes more than ten minutes to ride from the forest park to Taitung Seaside Park and the Seaside Prairie. You can also connect to Tiehua Village and the Old Railway Art Village. It is the best green belt line in Taitung City.

But because the forest gives us real silence
In Taitung Forest Park, you don't have to talk or take pictures

Bring you closer to the essence of life🥰
