Looking Back the Forestry History – Dongshi Forestry Cultural Park
東勢林業文化園區前身為「大雪山林業公司」，在60年代是東亞地區最大的製材廠，間接帶動臺中山城地區的發展。如今園區仍保留相關建築物和展示國內外藝術家的木雕作品，而貯木池每到夏季便化身為荷花盛開的秘境。

The cultural park retains relevant architectures and displays woodcarving artworks of domestic and foreign artists. The timber-pond became the lotus secret place every summer.
