Wuqiqi Forest Introduction
Alishan was originally one of Taiwan's three major logging areas and later developed into a national forest recreation area. On the shaded paths of ancient trees, one can inhale phytoncides and listen to the sounds of birds singing. Every year, during the blooming season, the entire mountain is covered in a colorful sea of flowers. The forest resources of Alishan encompass different climatic zones. Starting from tropical plants such as longan, areca palm, acacia, and bamboo groves in the lowlands, the scenery changes as one ascends, transforming into warm-temperate forests with Moso bamboo, high mountain tea plantations, and Ai-Yu. Further up, the temperate forest reveals species such as Taiwan red cedar, Taiwan cypress, Fujian pine, Taiwan fir, and red cypress.
