NTU Xiaoping Nature Education Park Introduction
Entering this treasure trove of nature feels like stepping into a paradise! The sounds of birds chirping and flowers blooming, along with the gentle hum of insects, welcome you to the praises of nature, bringing happiness and beauty! The National Taiwan University Tropical Botanical Garden, also known as the Shiapin Arboretum, was established during the Japanese colonial period and was taken over by the National Taiwan University Experimental Forest Management Office after World War II. It is now one of the five major botanical gardens managed by the Taiwan University Experimental Forest Management Office. The garden is home to various tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate tree species, many of which are rare tropical plants found in Taiwan. If you visit in the summer, you'll discover a rich diversity of insects such as scarab beetles and various other beetles within the garden. The abundance of phytoncides along with the summer cicada's songs creates a unique scenic beauty. The golden sunlight filtering through the treetops and the rustling leaves in the breeze together create the most harmonious and beautiful sonata. This garden is suitable for a half-day trip, and there are currently no tourist accommodations available. After your visit, you can head to the popular summer retreat—Xitou Nature Education Area, where spending the night listening to the symphony of frogs and insects while enjoying fireflies is an unforgettable experience.
