Lintian Mountain Forestry Center
In the past, Lintian Mountain Forestry Center, known as "Little Shanghai", was the fourth largest forestry center in Taiwan, the three largest forestry centers being Basian Mountain, Alishan and Taiping Mountain. By 1918, the mountain forest area that the Japanese referred to as "Molisaka" (transliterated as "Senban" in Chinese) was already being used for lumbering. In addition to constructing a lumber transportation railway and freight transportation ropeway, facilities included dormitories for the staff, a clinic, a welfare center, a rice store, a grocery store, a laundry, a barbershop, a fire department, a kindergarten and an elementary school.
