Dongshih Forest－Taichung Tourism

Introduction

Dongshih Forest Garden is a low altitude forest home to a variety of animals and plants. It includes natural forest, man-made forest, pure forest and mixed forest. There are forests of cedar trees, tung oil trees, maple trees, Taiwan acacias and plum trees. In early spring, cherry blossom trees flourish in baby green. Fireflies sparkle like thousands of twinkling stars towards the end of spring. Then, all greeneries thicken in summer while tung oil trees bloom in snowy white and Hercules beetles celebrate on top branches. In fall, the mountains are colored by yellow tung oil leaves and red maple leaves. In winter, leafless branches create such desolate beauty.

適合孩子放電的場地

在螢火蟲季去可以看到很多螢火蟲，林場內大部份的設施算有努力維護，但小木屋的部份會隨運氣而用同樣的價格住到不同品質的房間（我們一次訂了四間四人房，有些很大，有些很小，有些浴室全新，有些很破舊）。林區內的餐廳只有一間，賣的是又貴又不好吃的料理包，最好吃的食物是自己買的泡麫，早餐雖然能吃飽但以房價而言，這種品質實在要再加強一點。總之，東勢林場是很不錯的戶外場地，如果在旺季可以多加強餐飲及統一房間品質...

這次去東勢林場是想去看看螢火蟲，但可惜的是因為時間沒掌握好所以去的時候已經是接近尾聲了。但是整體來說整體的規劃還不錯，晚間也有專人導引介紹螢火蟲，以後還會考慮再去走走。
