Things to do in Luodong Forestry Culture Park

Five stars aren't enough! George made our trip truly incredible. Between the gorgeous weather, his fantastic food recommendations, and his insider tips, everything was top-notch. The highlight was definitely the Yilan animal farm, we absolutely loved meeting the animals, especially the capybaras! We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

This one day small group tour was a great way to explore Yilan. The driver/guide was timely in picking us up, giving us accurate estimates of driving times, and provided some relevant information about each stop. He conversed with us in Chinese and used basic English or the translation app for other non-chinese speaking passengers. We really enjoyed the first 4 stops. The last stop at the forestry park had a lot of flies, but I think that's just a preference thing and a natural part of the park.

One of the benefits of purchasing zoo and botanical garden tickets on the Klook platform is that upon arrival, you can immediately redeem a voucher for animal feed, allowing you to experience the joy of feeding animals right away. If you wish to feed them more, you can simply purchase additional feed on-site. The only thing I think is important to note is that different animals have different types of feed. It's necessary to find out what kind of feed the animal you most want to feed requires before redeeming your voucher. Otherwise, there's a risk that the feed you receive might not be for the animal you intended to feed.

We were lucky that the National Center for Traditional Arts had a special offer on KLOOK, a buy-one-get-one-free deal on tickets. This made it half the price of buying tickets at the venue, with some money left over. Online ticketing was very fast; we made a last-minute decision and bought the tickets online after arriving at the center's parking lot. The tickets were issued less than five minutes after booking. When we got to the entrance, it saved us the hassle of buying physical tickets. We just showed the QR code from our voucher at the entrance, and we were able to go right in!

The Red Turtle Cake DIY experience was incredibly fun! Not only did we get to experience making a traditional Taiwanese delicacy firsthand, but we also learned a lot of interesting facts about Red Turtle Cakes. It was truly a rewarding experience 🤍 Under the guidance of our instructor, we successfully made our own Red Turtle Cakes and even got to eat them right away 😋 It's true that food you make yourself always tastes extra delicious! It's wonderful to see a group of people quietly promoting traditional Taiwanese culture, ensuring these precious cultural elements are preserved and seen by more people 😽🫶🏻

I originally thought we'd only play for two hours, but we ended up staying for almost five! Although the park is a bit small, it has a lot of animals you can interact with and feed. If you add their official LINE account, you can get a free gashapon capsule toy coupon, and if you share and check in on Facebook, you can get a free portion of grass (for feeding the animals). The amusement area also has a marble game, a park train, and DIY activities like making dolls or taking sticker photos (the sticker photo booth has many accessories you can use, which is great). Oh, and I highly recommend the Thai milk tea capybara ice cream from the food stand; everything else was just okay. Overall, it was a very nice day ✔️

We visited on Saturday, April 18, 2026. The weather was cloudy that day, but thankfully it didn't rain. The park has deer, capybaras, turtles, dogs, and donkeys. The staff put a lot of effort into designing activities, such as printing commemorative postcards, collecting stamps at each station, and finally piecing together various colors to form the park's star animal members. There's also a commemorative stamp on the back. Although the park isn't large, the staff's dedication is evident everywhere. You can replenish mosquito repellent, and at the hay distribution point, you can get a small gift by leaving a review on Facebook or Instagram. We received two cute fans that day. It's recommended to check the weather before going, as most of the park is outdoors. You can also purchase e-tickets through Klook in advance for a slightly lower price and exchange them for physical tickets at the counter upon arrival. A full-price ticket is 200 NTD, which can be exchanged for feed and hay to feed the animals. The capybaras are super cute when they eat! 🥰 There's also a small cafe within the park, and the souvenir shop at the exit has a wide array of adorable merchandise, including plush toys, cups, badges, and hats – almost anything you can imagine. Overall, the planning is excellent, and the staff are friendly and enthusiastic. We would definitely visit again if we have the chance!

We chose an activity on the platform, but when we arrived, we found out there were other options. It was a bit of a shame we couldn't ride the water bikes around the lake 🥲, but overall it was still a lot of fun 🥳. For summer, we recommend choosing an afternoon session; the latest check-in is 3:30 PM.

It was so much fun! Although a light drizzle started just before we set off, it added a romantic touch to the rain. Luckily, the weather cleared up later. Thank you, Coach Guava, for letting our unruly group of 12 have such an amazing time! There were many funny little episodes for us along the way, and it's a good thing the coach was still able to come to work. You are truly professional and got everyone, big and small, on the right track, leaving us with wonderful and fulfilling experiences.
