The train track design is specifically engineered to navigate through enclosures that house over 70 species of wild animals.
The ride operates within a zone modeled after the African savanna, featuring specific vegetation and topography to mimic the natural habitats of the resident wildlife.
Leofoo Village, which hosts this train, is unique in Taiwan for combining an amusement park with a comprehensive open-range wildlife zoo.
The steam train mechanism is a key component of the park's original infrastructure designed to facilitate safe viewing of predators and herbivores in proximity.
The Steam Train is a signature attraction located within the African Safari zone of Leofoo Village Theme Park in Hsinchu, Taiwan. This attraction features a replica locomotive that transports visitors on a guided track through an open-range zoological environment. Guests remain within the safety of the train while viewing free-roaming animals such as zebras, African lions, and American bison. The track provides an immersive perspective of the park's curated wildlife habitats. The ride serves as one of the primary ways to traverse the park's specialized safari section. It integrates mechanical amusement with wildlife education.
From the carriage window when passing the open fields where the zebras and giraffes congregate.
Sit on the right side of the carriage for better views of the larger roaming herbivores during the first half of the loop.
Keep cameras ready at all times as the train does not stop for photo opportunities inside the animal enclosures.
Visit during cooler hours to ensure the animals are active rather than seeking shelter from the midday heat.
Avoid visiting during peak weekend afternoons when the queue for the train significantly increases.
Operating hours are subject to park-wide weather safety protocols; services may be suspended during heavy rain or high winds.
Remain seated at all times while the train is in motion; do not lean outside the windows or attempt to feed the animals.
