Air Corridor

Next to the forest road leading to the treasure of Xitou, Shenmu, there is a cedar forest that has been through for half a century. Its canopy is quite complete, and all kinds of creatures in the forest are all-encompassing, as if entering an ecological kingdom; Director Wang said that the experimental forest was carefully planned and built. The unique aerial corridor for ecological observation of the artificial forest canopy hopes 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 higher point is 22.6 meters above the ground, which is equivalent to an 8-story building. There are ferns and orchids and other plants on the trees. At the same time, animals such as white-eared thrush, crown feather thrush, yellow-bellied glaze and red-bellied squirrel often inhabit here, which makes the canopy very rich in biology; and the tree canopy is more It can provide the functions of intercepting water, retaining water and purifying air, and is an air purifier that nature provides human beings. The towering conifers can be seen on the trail, so that people are no longer just "far view" to the forest canopy. You can appreciate the different postures of the forest from different angles, and you can carefully observe the friends living in the trees. Especially when the mountains are surrounded by clouds and mists and the mountains are rising, in addition to the feeling of being in a painting environment, it also brings a deep cleansing of the soul. 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, about 22.6 meters high and 7 stories high, winding through Taiwanese fir trees that are more than 50 years old. In the cedar forest, you can not only experience the different views of the cedar from top to bottom, but also observe 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 of photosynthesis, where the "air purifier" is located, it is easier to approach 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 up.
