In order to increase the biological richness and natural observation area within the center, the Hualien Branch commissioned the Hualien County Habitat Conservation Society to create a butterfly park in 2008 based on the original butterfly resources in Chinan, so that visiting students and the general public can more easily get close to and understand nature. The area has now become one of the main teaching venues for outdoor teaching in kindergartens and elementary schools.

This facility was originally an artificial hydrophilic facility paved with pebbles. In order to create a habitat for animals and plants and provide outdoor observation and teaching, it was replanned and rebuilt into an ecological ditch in 2009 to provide the public with a natural water experience venue.

In the early days, timber was harvested at an altitude of 2,500 meters, then loaded onto trucks and transported by timber transport vehicles (commonly known as Bong Bong Train) and timber transport cableways. Finally, it was stored at the current large lawn in the park (the original site of the timber yard) and then transported to other places. In line with the activity design of Chinan Nature Education Center, the former lumberyard has become the main outdoor experience venue for teaching activities.

On April 10, 1966, an unfortunate forestry public security incident occurred when the cableway carrier fell off, causing casualties to 19 employees. The Forestry and Conservation Department has specially set up a monument to commemorate the sacrifices made in forestry development. This is also the highest point in Chinan District. From the monument, you can overlook the panoramic view of Liyu Lake surrounded by mountains.

The logging site is very dangerous and accidents happen frequently. Out of respect for heaven, earth and gods, forestry workers initiated a fund-raising campaign to build a Tudigong Temple. The temple was completed in 1984, hoping that Tudigong would protect the safety of forestry workers and give them blessings.

Its track was rebuilt from a well-preserved timber railway in the park. The locomotive was manufactured in Germany in 1972 and was moved from the Harlan Station to the Chinan National Forest Recreation Area in 1983 to transport tourists. The railway is 200 meters long and can travel at a speed of 5 kilometers per hour, allowing tourists to reminisce about the experience of logging and transporting timber in the past. However, the train have been discontinued and are only available for static display.

It was manufactured by Taiwan Machinery Corporation in 1961 and is powered by a diesel engine. It weighs only 5 tonnes and is fully compatible with logging operations in rugged mountainous areas. It can be disassembled and assembled on site and is very convenient to transport. Moreover, he was very efficient in hoisting rolled timber, so he was active in various forest farms during the heyday of logging in Taiwan, serving for 26 years and retiring with honor in 1987.

It was manufactured in Japan in July 1951, using gasoline as fuel, with a maximum horsepower of 50 horsepower, a total displacement of 1,600 cubic centimeters, and a total weight of 4.5 tons. After starting, it can tow 10 small trolleys with a load capacity of about 40 tons. It served the Papaya Branch for about 30 years and ceased operation on June 30, 1980.

Commonly known as the locomotive, it was manufactured in the United States in 1910. It uses coal as fuel, has a total weight of 18 tons, and has two models: hand brake and air brake. It can tow a weight of up to 95 tons. It is the world's most powerful locomotive with the strongest climbing ability. It served in Alishan for 66 years and retired honorably in 1977.

It was manufactured in the UK in 1909, fueled by coal, had a total weight of 15 tons, served in the Lanyang Branch for 55 years and ceased operation in April 1980. The carriages are made of cypress wood, and there are balance bars on the timber transporter to adjust the level of the timber when it encounters turns during transportation.

Manufactured by Taiwan Machinery Company in 1941, it adopts an upright boiler design, uses wood as fuel, and transports huge logs through gears and cables. It weighs 26 tons and has 85 horsepower. This set of equipment served in Lintianshan Forest Farm for 32 years. Due to its heavy machinery and huge fuel consumption, it was later replaced by a lightweight diesel engine.

There are five sections of cableways and log-carrying locomotives (Bong Bong Train) connecting the route from Chinan to Mt. Mugua, which is 2,500 meters above sea level. The cableway was the most economical and practical log-carrying equipment in the early logging industry, and the passenger car was an important tool for transporting workers and materials in and out of the logging site.
