Introduction

The Neidong National Forest Recreation Area is in Naliao, Wulai, with an area of approximately 1191.34 hectares and an altitude ranging from 230 meters to 800 meters. The area has three streams: Nanshi River, Neidong River, and Wusha River. River ecology is a characteristic landscape of the park, with three trails: a waterfall viewing trail, a forest bathing trail, and a scenic trail. The Neidong National Forest Recreation Area has abundant water and gas, and the natural ecology in the area is well preserved. At the turn of spring and summer, when the mating season for frogs and insects arrives, the forest attracts the opposite sex with a loud "mating call," known as "Wawa Valley."

Luohao Dam
Luohao Dam, completed in 1947, is an important water conservancy project in the forest recreation area. The word "Luohao" comes from the Atayal language "Lahaw." Luohao Dam intercepts the water of Nanshi River and diverts it to Wulai Power Plant through a 4.7-kilometer-long tunnel, using the height difference between the two places to generate hydroelectric power. The magnificent dam of Luohao Dam is an important landscape in Neidong national Forest Recreation Area.

Pet-friendly Waterfall Viewing Trail
The Neidong River Waterfalls are at the bottom of the forest recreation area, where the Neidong River merges into the Nanshi River. The water is magnificent and spectacular, and it also brings abundant anions. Anion is the vitamin in the air. Stand on the waterfall viewing platform to watch the waterfall up close and enjoy the pleasure of anions. Currently, the Neidong National Forest Recreation Area is open to pets under certain conditions (only the waterfall viewing trail, the forest bathing trail, and the viewing trail are temporarily closed) so that you and your beloved pet can have a forest bathing together.
