Taitung Forest Park

Bicycle is recommended to visit the park. Cover yourself with UV protection. Sun glasses, hats are needed when you set your foot into the park. One word of warning! I saw a rattle snake crossing the pavement today. So be careful! They won't attack you unlythey felt threatened! A good place to get in contact with the nature.

We didn't have to buy tickets or anything, it was just open entry to everyone. Very pretty in the morning, the weather was perfect and there were so many good trails to run. There were Aldo lots of cool things to look at on the sides of the trails. Pretty flowers, cool statues, lots and lots of trees, it felt like I was in a remote forest.

Costs 80 yuan/ person for foreigners which is a bit steep imo. It's a big park and pretty nice but there are too many people on electric bikes and they dont care for pedestrians' safety around blind bends in the dark tunnel. Pipa Lake looks better on photos than irl. And when we got there it was pretty crowded and noisy because of a bike tour, again!

Urban park with some ponds that charges entrance fee, and it is a very high fee! No youbikes inside, either, so you have to pay more to rent bikes, if you want to cycle. They especially harass foreigners at the entrance, while many locals enter without paying. Horrible mentality! A waste of time to go there. Do not recommend! There are lots of other things to do in Taitung.

Park is fine. 80NTD to enter is very steep, nothing to do, a lot of it was under renovation or in desrepair. So long as you can pass for Taiwanese entry seems to be free. Japanese and Korean tourists went in for free but my girlfriend and I were stopped and made to pay a fee. Can only assume it's because we look obviously foreign.

This park is lovely. I saw so many white birds in a tree at Egret Lake that from a distance it looks like flowers. Bring water as I didn't see anywhere you could refill a water bottle (but I could have missed it). Lots of families and I'd think it would be a great place with a bike - esp if you started along the coast as there is a dedicated bike lane most of the way here

Great place to walk and enjoy nature. Access to Egret Lake.
