Great Wall River Recreation Area

A rural amusement park along a stream in the hills of Sanxia themed around a redbrick replica of the Great Wall of China. The park opened in the 1990s with a skating rink, folk culture village (民俗文化村), and vacation cabins, drawing weekend crowds from Taipei alongside the adjacent Luotuotan Scenic Area (駱駝潭風景區). Investment collapsed in the early 2000s as major shareholders moved capital abroad amid a wave of Taiwanese emigration and most of the grounds were left to decay under encroaching vines. A small section has been revitalized in recent years, but much of the original park remains in ruins along the river.
