Beside the forest path leading to the precious Shenmu Tree in Xitou, there is a Cryptomeria forest that has gone through half a century
Its canopy layer is quite complete
The forest is home to all kinds of creatures, as if entering an ecological kingdom
Director Wang said that the experimental forest has elaborately planned and built a unique aerial corridor for observing the artificial forest canopy ecology, hoping to provide natural outdoor experience places for schools at all levels in Taiwan
The elevated aerial corridor is about 180 meters in length
The highest point is 22
6 meters from the ground, equivalent to an 8-story building
Ferns and orchids grow on the trees
At the same time, animals such as white-eared laughing thrush, crested laughing thrush, yellow-bellied sunbird and red-bellied squirrel often inhabit here, making the biological phase of the canopy very rich
The forest canopy can also provide the functions of intercepting water and purifying the air
It is an air purifier provided by nature for humans
On the footpath, one can see the towering coniferous trees
People no longer just ‘view from a distance’ the forest canopy
Through face-to-face contact, the lofty forest in people’s general impression is suddenly placed in the canopy
Standing on a high position, one can appreciate the different postures of the forest from different angles and observe more carefully the friends living on the trees
Especially when the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mists rise, in addition to giving people the feeling of being in a picturesque scene, it also brings a profound spiritual cleansing
In order to let tourists further experience the ecology of the canopy layer, the experimental forest of National Taiwan University has therefore built this forest aerial corridor
The entire corridor is 180 meters in length and about 22
6 meters high, equivalent to a 7-story building
It winds among the Taiwan fir and Cryptomeria forests over 50 years old
Walking among the firs, one can not only experience the different scenery of viewing firs from top to bottom, but also observe closely the diverse ecology of various plants, arboreal animals, birds, insects and fungi in the forest canopy
In addition, because the green canopy in the forest is the main part where photosynthesis takes place and is where the ‘air purifier’ is located, it is easier to get close to phytoncide
In addition, due to structural factors, the aerial corridor can only accommodate 100 people at the same time
If you want to experience it, be prepared to line up
Opening hours: Open from 8:00 to 17:00 all year round
Tips: When at the height of a seven-story building, tourists who are afraid of heights should be mentally prepared in advance
