Taiwan has a long railway history, and many early trains remain beloved by train fans. To help visitors better understand Taiwan’s railway development, some parks have even created miniature versions of classic trains, allowing both adults and children to ride and experience, making it an educational and fun destination.

1. Yilan – Taiping Mountain Forest Mini Train
Yilan’s Sanxing Township Office recreated the Taiping Mountain Forest Mini Train and opened it for a one-month free trial ride. After the original Taiping Mountain Forest Railway ceased operations, its tracks were removed. A new 355-meter circular railway was built in front of Tiansongpi Station, featuring a one-third scale replica train that pulls two carriages, with a maximum capacity of eight passengers per trip.

Reconstructing the forest railway mini train not only promotes local tourism but also allows visitors to learn about the history of Taiping Mountain’s logging industry, turning nostalgic railway culture into a unique tourist attraction for Sanxing Township.
