air corridor - China Travel

introduce

Next to the forest road leading to Shenmu, the treasure of Xitou, there is a cedar forest that has been through for half a century. Its canopy is quite complete. An ingenious air corridor for ecological observation of the artificial forest canopy is set up, hoping to provide a natural outdoor experience place for schools at all levels in Taiwan. The elevated air corridor is about 180 meters long, and the highest point is 22.6 meters above the ground, which is equivalent to the height of an 8-story building. Plants such as ferns and orchids grow on the trees, and animals such as white-eared thrush, crown-feathered thrush, yellow-bellied glass and red-bellied squirrel often inhabit here, which makes the biological facies of the canopy very rich; and the forest canopy is even more It can provide the functions of interception, water retention and clean air. It is the air purifier provided by nature for human beings. The towering coniferous trees on the trail make people no longer just "view" the forest canopy. Through face-to-face contact, the towering forest in the general impression is immediately placed in the canopy and commanding, and can be seen from different perspectives. Appreciate the different postures of the forest from different angles, and even observe the friends living in the trees carefully. Especially when the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist and the mountain mist rises, not only does it give people the feeling of being in the painting environment, but it also brings a kind of deep spiritual cleansing.

In order to allow tourists to further experience the ecology of the tree canopy, the National Taiwan University Experimental Forest also built this forest air corridor. The entire corridor is 180 meters long and about 22.6 meters high with 7 floors. In the cedar forest, in addition to experiencing the different views of the cedar from top to bottom while walking on the cedar, you can also observe the diverse ecology of various plants, arboreal animals, birds, insects and fungi in the forest canopy. . In addition, since the green canopy in the forest is the main part of photosynthesis and where the "air purifier" is located, it is easier to get close to phytoncide. In addition, due to structural factors, the air corridor can only carry 100 people at the same time. If you want to experience it, you must be prepared to queue.
