Over
Korte feiten: Some of the Taiwanese red cypress trees here have stood for over 2,000 years, predating the Roman Empire. The forest sits at 1,150 meters elevation, which means temperatures stay a cool 16°C on average year-round.
Hoogtepunten: Wanneer de mist 's middags op komt zetten, verandert het bamboebos in een wisselende galerij van licht en schaduw terwijl zonnestralen door de hoge stengels priemen. Het 2.200 meter lange Sky Trail brengt je 22 meter boven de grond, zodat je op ooghoogte door de kronen van eeuwenoude cipressen kunt lopen.
Insidertips
- Skip the main entrance queue by buying tickets online in advance during peak season.
- Wear layers and bring a light jacket; the forest stays noticeably cooler than the lowlands even in summer.
- The Sky Trail is best visited before 10:30 AM when mist still hangs in the canopy.
- Bring cash for the small food stalls near University Pond since card readers are unreliable there.
