Tainan Travel

For a small fee of NTD50, it was a good way to spend our afternoon. There was a two-storey building and a musuem inside. The Tree House area was also a nice place for some photos and it was good weather when we were there. The "skywalk" was also nice as it was cool inside the trees area. Got some souvenirs at the shops too!

Nice view of old building which now became a tree house. The site is quite small, not much to see. Overall still a good place to see and take some pictures.

Built around the end of the 19th century, and located behind the Tait & Co. Merchant House, this was once a cluster of brick warehouses owned by the company. It was abandoned after WWII. Today, it is used totally for touristic consumption. Wood and metal staircases and viewing platforms allow visitors to wind through the trees, and to view the old warehouse from up within the branches as well as from the ground. Although not on the grand scale as the Ta Prohm Temple at Angkor Wat, it is still an interesting and eerie place to see buildings strangled by trees! I did not however enjoy the art exhibition that featured paintings hung on the brick walls and tree roots, which were completely out of place. The banyan trees and their tangle of roots are on their own all the art that is needed. Be sure to also visit the Old Tait & Co. Merchant House.

Interesting but is underwhelming if you have been to Ta Prohm (at Siem Reap, Cambodia). The metal scaffolding, stairs, and support pillars are done quite distastefully and they sort of ruin the whole atmosphere as it provides a stark contrast of modernity vs nature. There is no amazing view from the Sky Bridge either.

Never seen a tree like this one. Saw life everywhere, loved the patterns of the branches and the roots. It’s worth to visit this place.
