Basianshan National Forest Recreation Area (traditional Chinese: 八仙山國家森林遊樂區; simplified Chinese: 八仙山国家森林游乐区; pinyin: Bāxiānshān Guójiā Sēnlín Yóulè Qū) is located in Bo'ai Village, Heping District, Taichung, Taiwan.
It was one of the main logging center alongside Mount Ali and Mount Taiping during the Japanese rule.[1] In the mid 1970s, the area was designated as national forest recreation area. The forest suffered heavy damaged in the aftermath of Jiji earthquake in 1999 and Typhoon Toraji and Typhoon Nari in 2001.[2]
