Hualien also has another hidden paradise away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Located along Provincial Highway 9, the Da Nong Da Fu Plain Forest Park lies in a secluded area nestled between the Central Mountain Range and the Coastal Mountain Range. After a decade-long afforestation project by the Forestry Bureau, it has become the nation’s first plain forest. Spanning 1,250 hectares, the park is equivalent in size to 48 Da’an Forest Parks and serves as a super carbon-absorbing, oxygen-producing machine for nature. With its vast expanse covered in lush vegetation, the Forestry Bureau has praised it as “a verdant gem in the Huatung Valley.”

The Da Nong Da Fu Plain Forest Park adheres to the “three lows” principle — low carbon, low development, and low commercialization. It incorporates eco-friendly facilities that blend ecology, culture, natural beauty, and sustainability, while also integrating local agriculture, urban-rural culture, and other regional industries and resources. It’s the perfect destination for relaxation and escaping the noise of the outside world.
