- From the Japanese period through the 1970’s, the
government and businesses worked together to develop
Alishan’s forest industry. In terms of scale and production
capacity, the Alishan lumber industry was number
one in Southeast Asia. It was also the collection and
distribution center for all of Taiwan’s lumber, spurring on
the development of many flourishing businesses, such as
banks, hotels, restaurants, bars, and more. For more than
half a century Chiayi enjoyed an identity as the luxurious
“Lumber City,” creating immense commercial value that had
a profound impact on the city’s character. This makes it a
unique location for understanding the history of Taiwan’s
lumber industry. - According to genre: Historical site
