Ecotourism
in Taiwan
The first thing that most people coming to Kenting
,while think of is the beach, but actually,the Kenting
is the source of delights and surprises.I am in
Kenting National Forest Recreation Area.Welcome
to Taiwan, I am Poyu Lin.
Come with me, and you��ll see a whole other side
of Kenting.Covering 435 hectares, Kenting National
Forest Recreation Area,has a warm rainy climate,
that��s given rise to a rich diversity of plant life.
The park is also home to, Taiwan��s only tropical
botanical gardens.Julian, is that a tree?Yeah,You
guess how many trees here?Probably 10?
It��s only 1 tree here.One?Actually what you saw
the prop roots,are the aerial roots of the ficus
benjamina.When those aerial roots touch the land,they
will grow to be wider and stronger. One day they
will become another trunk of the tree. Maybe someday
the main trunk will be decayed, but those ficus
are still alive with those prop roots.Because the
trunk is changeable, so some person calls it a ��walking
tree��.
The Forest Recreation Area is covered with trees,while
enjoying a walk through the forest, I noticed that
hundred year-old trees, are nothing if not common
here
This is Looking Glass Tree. It��s over 400 years
old.Why the bottom part so weird?
This is it��s root.Root? Yeah.Why is the root look
like flat boards?We call it ��Buttress Root��, one
character of tropical rain forest.
In tropical rain forest, it is rainy and moist.
The soil is lost soon and easily. To support the
big tree, the root becomes flared to be more stable,
and provides respiratory function. This is the largest
buttress root in Taiwan.Besides being more clear
with for tropical plants ,geology is another highlight
in this area.Guides tells me that Kenting National
Forest Recreation Area, is a high-level coral reef,that
tens of thousands of years ago, the whole area here
was actually on the seafloor.Poyu, do you know stalactites?I
heard about that.You are so lucky. Now you are seeing
the forming of stalactites.Stalactites often form,in
caves that never see the light of day. Because they're
formed over such long periods, stalactites are important
to the study of historical changes in earth's crust.
I feel like walking in maze here.In this area, you��ll
find something interesting, which is that the whole
area is covered, with these coral reef sticking
out of the ground
Wind and rain are what carves and sculpts coral.
Long periods left exposed to the elements and resulting
erosion has left coral, features of all shapes and
sizes
Eco-tourism is another great way, to see Taiwan��s
natural beauty, If you have time, you should definitely
come experience.
