Illustrator SMART (Zhuang Xintang) designed a series of Q-version animal figures including a white bear, pink elephant, fox, owl, penguin, and squirrel with the theme of "Sleeping Forest". Combined with the existing trees, air-raid shelter, and streetlights, a walk through the park evokes a vibrant yet tranquil forest atmosphere. The cherry blossom iron archway at the entrance echoes the imagery of Beimen Station as the gateway to Alishan. Birdcage and owl-shaped decorative streetlights feature stars, the moon, and the sun. A 50-year-old wax apple tree and a nostalgic air-raid shelter are adorned with colorful lights, creating a dazzling and enchanting night scene with shifting light and shadow.
