Zhiben Nature Education Center Introduction

In the tropical monsoon forest of Zhiben, diverse cultures and natural ecosystems can be encountered. Amidst the gentle mist of the hot springs, one can perceive life, beauty, and learning. The Zhiben National Forest Recreation Area features a tropical monsoon climate, with representative plants including banyan trees, Chinese parasol trees, and climbing plants, which have evolved unique phenomena typical of tropical plants such as strangling and strangulation. The "Thousand Roots Banyan," formed by the aerial roots of the banyan tree, is also an important landmark in Zhiben. The architecture in the area is designed to integrate with the landscape while embracing the diverse cultures of Taitung, showcasing the harmony between nature and humanity.
