Halun is a microcosm of Taiwan’s forestry industry. (English 15 mins Version )
《無盡藏。哈崙時代-哈崙林業歷史紀錄片》-(英文15 分鐘精華版)
At 2,000m above sea level, Halun was a valuable source of high-quality timber throughout much of the 20th century.
At a time when government logging operations were falling ever shorter of national needs, Halun ramped up production to meet the demand of manufacturing and commerce.
While a source of income for many Taiwanese families, forestry work also cut short the lives of many workers.
In 2015, researchers took to the mountains to visit abandoned Halun Station.
Although logging is now in the past, their journey may give us all a better perspective on the present and future of Taiwan’s high-mountain forests.
