Greeting us at the entrance to the park were some whimsical sculptures made of out machinery parts. The park is a time capsule of a logging community that thrived throughout the Japanese occupation era and the 1960s. We loved the meticulous preservation of many of the buildings and the museum that gave a detailed narrative of the inhabitants' daily life, their community spirit, the communal devotion to the children's education, and their perseverance to overcome backbreaking and dangerous work. Particularly helpful were the diorama that depicts what the community looked like back then, and the stories told by some of the inhabitants.

■一早精神抖擻要搭火車去〔林田山林業文化園區〕。 從花蓮北濱街的海岸民宿走去東大門夜市站牌，搭乘06:55的308A公車前往花蓮轉運站。 07:10在站前廣場美拍台灣東部鐵路唯一的《特等站》，別出心裁的設計與建構讓〔花蓮火車站〕在中央山脈之下凸顯其耀眼與重要的樞紐地位。

■第一目的地〔6170萬榮車站〕 搭乘南下區間4516車次：刷卡 花蓮07:52＞08:37萬榮 車程45分鐘，敬老卡扣27元。 回顧我的全台鐵道之旅於今年1月24日與秀英結伴初次造訪萬榮車站，在大廳內牆看到林田山林業園區的介紹畫面，即有打算未來要舊地重遊，果然如願，今天不論車站月台拍照或請教站務人員有關路線，都因曾經相識而倍感親切和喜悅！

■第二目的地〔林田山林業文化園區〕 萬榮車站＞林田山 距離2.7公里，車程6分鐘，搭計程車200元。 ●在下車處的公車站牌有標示303D郵輪式巴士會到此，但是近日一票難求，除非提前網購訂位，否則就像我們改搭火車。 走到園區門口約莫60公尺，兩側有幾個攤位販售當地名產。而現今入口設有柵欄、管理員，管控車輛的進出，難怪小黃司機說進不去。 ●免費參觀。開放時間： 星期二～星期日：09:00 –...
