Zhiben Forest Area

　　   The Zhiben Forest Area is situated in Taitung County, Taiwan Province. It was originally part of State-owned forest land under Forest Management Bureau's Taitung Work Area, specifically the 33rd Forest Compartment. Later, the Forest Area Management Office used the original 4-hectare nursery area as the center and integrated it with approximately 10 hectares of afforested land nearby to establish a forest recreation area. The recreation area is located near the middle reaches of the Zhiben River. To enter the area, visitors must cross the Guanlin Suspension Bridge over the Zhiben River. The bridge is painted in deep red and is about 84 meters long. Standing on the bridge, visitors can look down at the rugged, untouched scenery of the Zhiben River. As the wind blows, the bridge sways slightly, offering a cool and comfortable experience.
