Not sure what to do for a short trip to Hualien if you've already visited all the famous spots? The Danongdafu Plain Forest Park, located along Provincial Highway 9, is a hidden gem nestled between the Central Mountain Range and the Coastal Mountain Range. After a decade-long afforestation project by the Forestry Bureau, it has become Taiwan’s first plain forest park. Covering an area of 1,250 hectares—which is equivalent to 48 Da’an Forest Parks—it also serves as a super carbon-absorbing and oxygen-producing machine for nature. With its vast plantation coverage, the Forestry Bureau has hailed it as “a emerald gem in the Huatung Valley.” It’s a brand-new destination for travelers visiting Hualien.
