You don't need to build a time machine to journey into the past — just visit Hinoki Village. This relic of yesteryear lets you walk through history and experience what life was like long ago.
You'll have no end of sightseeing choices in East District. Hinoki Village is a good place to begin here, but there are numerous other worthy sights to check out. Wenhua Road Night Market, National Chung Cheng University, and Alishan Forest Railway Garage Park are not far from the open-air museum and will top off your day nicely.
