Overview

Stone Park Ecological Leisure Farm is a rural attraction in Waipu District, Taichung, centered around a collection of vintage, abandoned structures and rustic, overgrown scenery. The park features a distinctive, partially derelict airplane fuselage that serves as the site's most recognizable visual landmark. It is known for its nostalgic atmosphere, often utilized as a film set and photography location for retro-themed portraiture. The grounds incorporate traditional farm elements, walking paths, and remnants of older amusement park features.

It serves primarily as a recreational space for outdoor photography and quiet exploration of the rural Taichung landscape.
