It was originally designed as a military base, with a roughly-triangular lot, on which are four historic buildings. The main structure is a two-story building facing the southeast. It was used as a military command, with facilities such as kitchen, laundry, and bedrooms. It is still quite well-preserved because of the RC structure. The hind house was built of wood, and is now badly damaged because of long neglection. On the east side are two side-buildings. One of them is a wooden structure used by the janitors, and the other one is an RC structure facing south, and is quite well-preserved.

Jing-Hua Enclosed Preserve (菁華林苑)

Name of Scenic Spot: Jing-Hua Enclosed Preserve

Geographical Location: Hualien City, Hualien County

Class of Historic Spot: County Class

Category of Historic Spot: Historic Building

Builder of Historic Spot: Bureau of Development and Industry Office of Governor of Taiwan

Time of Establishment: c. 9th year of Taisho (1920)

Brief History of Historic Spot: In the 8th year of Taisho (1919), “Kalenko Boksai Kakushikikaisha” (Hualien Harbor Lumbering Corporation) was founded by the colonial Japanese government to lumber the spruce trees in Lintienshan and Ta-an Mountain. In the same year, the colonial government also set up an “Eastern Operation Station” within the Development and Industry Division of the Forestry Bureau. The Station was renamed “Eastern Hostel of the Forestry Division of the Bureau of Development and Industry,” in August, 1920. Its major task was forestation in the eastern part under the commission of Hualien Harbor Office and Taitung Office. In the 4th year of Showa (1929), the Hostel was moved to the present site in Hualien City. In the 17th year of Showa (1942), the Hostel was renamed “Hualien Harbor Moutain Forestry Station.”

On January 10, the 35th year of the Republic of China (1946), Hualien County Government was established, and the colonial Japanese lumbering industry was taken over. The new government continued to manage the lumbering businesses of the existing operation station in Lintienshan and Mt. MuGua. In 1951, the stations were re-organized into Mt. MuGua Lumbering Station, under the administrative jurisdiction of Hualien Forestry Management Office. In 1958, Mt. MuGua Lumbering Station was re-assigned to Taroko Lumbering Station, under Taiwan Provincial Government.

In 1960, Taroko Lumbering Station and some sections of Hualien Forestry Management Office were combined with Lintienshan Lumbering Station into Mt. MuGua Forestry Management Office, under the Forestry Office of Department of Agriculture and Forestry of Taiwan Provincial Government. Hualien Forestry Management Office was deposed, and the staff moved to the new office, which is now the Mt. MuGua Forestry Management Office of Taiwan Forestry Bureau, on Lincheng Street, Hualien City.

After Hualien Forestry Management Office was deposed, and the staff moved to work elsewhere, the Hostel, a building that combined Renaissance and Japanese styles, with concrete-stone walls and a woodern structure, was deserted in vines and weeds. It was virtually forgotten and unused for more than forty years.

At the beginning of 2001, some civilian groups called for volunteers and local residents to renovate this Hostel. The Forestry Bureau agreed to reopen the Hostel for historic and artistic purposes, and it was named “Jing-Hua Enclosed Preserve.” In 2003, it was officially proclaimed a “County Class Historic Spot” by Hualien County Government according to the Cultural Heritage Preservation Law, and named “Hualien Harbor Mountain Forestry Station.”

Special Features of Historic Spot: The building combines Renaissance and Japanese construction styles. The walls are built of concrete and steel, with tiny stones on the surface, and the roof is made of wood, covered with tiles. The whole building, with its outer look of simplicity and symmetry, together with the main gate of classical curving arches and decorative columns, are the most impressive features. In the garden, there are camphor trees, and others, together with beautiful flowers and climbing plants. The whole garden is green and quiet, with the scent of camphor, creating a leisurely and relaxing atmosphere. A “Mountain Forest Lecture Hall” is regularly held in the building to give courses on the history and literature of Hualien.

Good books, with the company of good coffee, and the courses on the history of the development of Hualien, studies of the local people and the tribes—all combine to make this place a very good example of making good use of the space of historic buildings.

Environmental Protection Park (環保公園)

Name of Scenic Spot: Environmental Protection Park

Name of Town: Hualien city

Name of County: Hualien County

Category of Scenic Spot: Scenic Area
Brief Introduction: Not far away from Chi-lai-bi Lighthouse is the Environmental Protection Park. Why is it so named? Years ago, the site was used for garbage-burying where, with the stinking air, people stayed as far away as possible. When the place was saturated and no more garbage could be buried, Hualien County Government had this brilliant idea of transforming it into a park, and gave it the meaningful name, “Environmental Protection Park.” The Park is on a cliff right beside the Pacific Ocean, and winds from the sea usually blow very strongly. One can see the immense Pacific to the east, Hualien Harbor to the south, the high-rising Central Mountains to the west, and Chi-hsing-tan Bay to the north—the views in all directions. Entering the main gate, you will see a very special Sun Plaza, where little black stones—a specialty of the beach—are lined and arranged into English words “HUALIEN CITY.” On the lawns beside the Plaza, rocks of peculiar shapes are scattered, creating a peculiar and interesting atmosphere, just like what one may feel in the wild, wild West of the United States.

Tzu Chi Campus(慈濟園區)
Name of Scenic Spot: Tzu Chi Campus

Name of Town: Hualien City

Name of County: Hualien County

Category of Scenic Spot: Buddhist Cultural Areas


Brief Introduction: Tzu Chi Campus, located on Jung Yang Road, encloses Tzu Chi Medical Center, the Abode of Still Thoughts, the Bamboo Cottage of Still Thoughts, and Tzu Chi University. It actually combines the spirits of “Charity, Medical Care, Education, and Culture, ” the four principle objectives of the ideals of Cheng-yen, the esteemed founder of Tzu Chi Charity Foundation.

The Bamboo Cottage of Still Thoughts, located between the Abode of Still Thoughts and Tzu Chi University, is the only bamboo building constructed with the ancient technique of wedging and squeeze-caging. In the design, there is the local Taiwanese tradition of “the main body with two guardians dragon on both sides” (a main building in the middle with two side-buldings on its sides). It also mixes some Chinese tradition by using two curving corridors to connect the three buildings. At the cottage, you can take a cup of tea, and appreciate the delicate paintings of the “Fei-tien Deities,” or the “Flying Deities of Fragrant Messages,” who are in charge of flower-spreading, singing, dancing, and rituals in the Realm of Buddha. They are deities in Hindu mythology, symbolizing liberty and happiness. Through the evolvements of Buddhist theory and artistic creation, the features on their faces have gradually transformed from horrifying to pretty, pleasant, and attractive. After being introduced into China, their flying figures were no longer represented by wings, but by the shapes of their dresses and skirts that appear to be floating in the air. The total length of the pictures of the Flying Deities in the Abode of Still Thoughts is about 1360 meters. The forty-six groups of the Flying Deities form a complete surrounding picture on the four walls, displaying a magnificent atmosphere consisting of innumerous postures. This is the ingenious design of Professor Du Yun-wei of Dun-huang College of Fine Arts in China, consigned by Tzu Chi Foundation. Each of the 362 Deities was portrayed according to a true human figure, showing an individual form, with an individual name, to form a combination and different peoples, types, features, and characteristics. The creative ingenuity and lucent expression also contain modern significance. The achievements of the four principal objectives are permanently exhibited in the Abode of Still Thoughts. The green lawns around and the other places, like the Thanksgiving Hall, the Library of Still Thoughts, also add to the depth of your trip to the place of true Buddhist culture.
