Basianshan National Forest Recreation Area

Basianshan National Forest Recreation Area is a woodland reserve in central Taiwan spanning multiple elevation zones with varied forest types. The site contains forests, streams, and mountain terrain that together form a diverse natural system.

The forest served as a logging center during Japanese administration, contributing to the region's forestry development. This historical use shaped the landscape that visitors encounter today.

The forest holds meaning for nearby communities as a place to connect with nature and observe local practices of land stewardship. You can see how people interact with and care for the woodland during your visit.

The forest is accessible by mountain road, and it is wise to bring appropriate clothing and footwear for uneven terrain. Plan sufficient time to explore the different areas, and check current conditions before your visit.

The streams within the forest feed important water systems used by surrounding areas, with water of particular quality due to its forest origins. This clean water source is one of the forest's notable natural contributions to the region.
