Xinxian, a Picturesque Walking-path in TW Forest (Photos)

Walking along the mountain road from Wulai Waterfall, visitors will pass the suspension bridge and walking path of Xinxian, then reach Neidong Forest Recreation Area (Park). Without any city bus here, people who are unwilling to waste money for a taxi could count on nothing but their own feet during this 3000 meter long journey in the forest…

Xinxian Walking-path used to be the road connecting Wulai with Fushan, with total length about 1320 meters. After the new road was built on the left side of Nanshi Creek, the old one on the right became the walking-path only for pedestrians. At the entrance, the black suspension bridge looks quite nostalgic. It starts to shake slightly as soon as visitors place their feet on the wood panels. Well, I guess if an over-sized person happens to step on a fragile part, no doubt he (she) will fall in the creek full of stones. Ouch ….A walk in the forest is really a pleasure. The amazing scenery of mountains, trees and valleys will fill our heart with endless joy, as well as fresh air. Numerous streams fall from the top mountain to join the Nanshi Creek down the valley. In the wetland, visitors can see very pretty small butterflies, dragonflies and various unknown creatures while hearing the birds sing on the trees.The path is so easy to approach that many people bring their children or babies in the prams in the forest.
Tempted by the beautiful creek, Mr.T and I secretly climbed down to the valley. Suddenly half way I heard a sound like a whip slashing in the air. OMG! Guess what I saw? Near a huge rock by the water, lay a 2 meter long SNAKE! SNAKE! …Probably scared by the burning sun, it turned its head, then fled back to the jungle as fast as a lightning. With the fear in my eyes, I dragged Mr.T and fled back to the road as fast as a lightning, too…
