History & development

History&

development

The forestry industry is an essential part of Luodong.

In the past, it was the Taiping Forest Area that provided impetus for the town’s growth.

Taipingshan’s forestry industry began in 1905, with the Forestry Agency of Japan drawing plans to harvest the area’s native cypress forests. A dragging track was built by laborers to pull logs up to a timber processing ground by the Duowang River. The log would then be transported out of town through the Langyan River. In 1921, the agency purchased a railway from the Taiwan Sugar Factory and adapted it for transporting timber. The railway was 36.95km long, stretching from the timber processing ground to Tiansongpi, Waiziwai, and Zhulin Station. From then on, felling of trees was carried out on an immense scale and such continued for 68 years. Taipingshan stood alongside Alishan and Bahsienshan as the three largest forest areas during the Japanese Occupation, and its scale of felling was the greatest of all.

The government restructured related policies in 1982 and the forestry industry started to decline

In 2004, the Forestry Bureau unveiled a plan to create the Luodong Forestry Culture Park

In order to recreate the history of forestry in Taipingshan and the development of Luodong Township, Luodong Forestry Cultural Park has planned about 20 hectares of land into natural ecological ponds, wood-dragging tracks, aquatic plant ponds, log-transporting train tracks, forest railroad, and waterfront wooden treks, combining leisure, education, and culture, which is a good place for ecological observation.
