Magic Forest Series

Wherever I went, clouds, rain and mist were always over my head. :-)

 

Xitou Nature Education Area or Xitou Bamboo Forestis a forest park in Lugu Village, Lugu Township, Nantou County, Taiwan.

 

Xitou is derived from a Chinese word with the meaning of the origin of river.

 

During the Japanese rule of Taiwan, the forest was used as an experimental forest for University of Tokyo students. Later after the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, the forest was declared a nature reserve and named Xitou Nature Education Area in 1970. On 11 September 2016, a 2,800-year old giant tree fell after long heavy rain, injuring three visitors.

 

Have a nice weekend my friends. :-)
