  • A former storeroom at Taiwan’s Taipingshan Visitor Centre has been converted into the “Little Forest Time” family space.
  • The facility uses locally sourced timber playground equipment, low-volatile paint and environmentally friendly materials.
  • Children aged 3 to 12 can visit with adult caregivers during two daily sessions, except Tuesdays, with each session limited to three groups.

A storeroom at the Taipingshan Visitor Centre in Yilan has been given a new life as “Little Forest Time”, a forest-themed space for children and families.

The project seeks to preserve the site’s educational memory while using wooden toys and natural elements to create a place for family visits. The visitor centre occupies the former site of Taiping Elementary School, and the new interior recreates the feel of a classroom.

The space opened in June for children aged 3 to 12 and caregivers aged 18 or older. It uses locally sourced timber play equipment, low-volatile paint and environmentally friendly materials.

“Little Forest Time” operates in two daily sessions, from 9:30 a.m. to noon and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. It closes on Tuesdays. Visitors must register in person at the Taipingshan Villa counter, and each session allows up to three groups, with visits generally limited to one hour. Food and drinks are not permitted inside.
