It currently features over 30 types of scenic forests, among which Korean pine, larch, oak, birch, and poplar are predominant. There are also more than 40 cultural landscapes and countless natural wonders. Here you’ll find rivers, bridges, mountains, temples, fishing spots, rafting opportunities, riverside restaurants, and tower-top lodges. Visiting during holidays brings peace to the mind, serenity to the heart, the sound of Buddhist chants in the air, freedom from worldly concerns, and the joy of sipping wine in the breeze.

Taiping Park is home to Taiping Temple, which was built in 1997 and covers an area of 15,000 square meters. The temple complex includes ten halls: the Heavenly King Hall, Mahavira Hall, Guanyin Hall, Western Trinity Hall, Kṣitigarbha Hall, 0 Hall, Sangharama Hall, Preaching Tower, Bodhidharma Hall, and Disaster Relief and Auspiciousness Hall. Especially noteworthy is the Guanyin Hall, where locals say the bodhisattva Guanyin once revealed a miraculous sign in 1999, astonishing many and drawing numerous Buddhists, devotees, and faithful to worship here. The entrance gate of Taiping Forest Park stands 8 meters tall and presents a majestic sight. The park’s Rainbow Bridge spans 168 meters across the Yongcui River. To the east of the Rainbow Bridge is the Wanfu Tower, and to the west is the Chunlai Pavilion—both are great spots for visitors to enjoy a meal.

The park’s Xinglong Pagoda has eight levels. The first to fourth levels are designed for entertainment, leisure, and accommodation, while the eighth level offers visitors panoramic views of the spectacular scenery of Xianweng Mountain.

The Water Park is a great destination for holiday rafting and fun. Visitors can play in the water, relax on the sandy beach, or enjoy sunbathing. Taking a rafting boat allows you to admire the beautiful mountain forests along both riverbanks and experience the wonders of nature.
