L11 Connecting with nature

Connecting with nature helps maintain our mental health.

Nature is magical and contains endless mysteries waiting for us to explore. The flowers and plants are fragrant, the trees are lush, and when we walk around the green fields, we are all amazed by their vitality.

In the following, I would like to share a recent and unforgettable experience of being close to nature. Last summer, I traveled to Taiwan with my friends. I am different from ordinary tourists because they may only go to some famous scenic spots that are convenient for taking photos or going for the local food. But at that time, I only went to some picturesque places in the suburbs to see the natural scenery.

Three attractions will be shared below: Xikou Tourist Attraction, Xinxikou Suspension Bridge, and Balianxi Organic Eco Village.

First, Xikou Tourist Attraction. Its main features are streams and waterfalls. When the water gushes out of the mountains, it forms a spectacular waterfall and flows through the valley, creating a clear stream.

I can walk along the trails, enjoy these beautiful natural landscapes, and play or splash in the streams 🤪.

Second, the Xinxikou Suspension Bridge has a worrying feel because the area it spans is quite long, but if you look closely, it is a rather slender and graceful suspension bridge. With a total length of 303 meters, it is the longest suspension bridge in Taiwan.

In the center of the suspension bridge, I can enjoy the beautiful Dahan River Valley and see the spectacular scenery of the Dahan River and mountains. The scene is stunning, and I can also experience the excitement of the suspension bridge shaking. Even though it took a lot of energy to go up and down the mountain, I got it done🥵.

Finally, at Balianxi Organic Eco Village. It is rich in natural resources, including clear streams, dense forests, and wildlife. It allows visitors to experience the natural environment and rural life, such as picking fruits, growing vegetables, or visiting organic farms. Visitors can also take an ecological tour to learn about the local ecosystem and conservation efforts.

The above natural environments can keep me away from the hustle and bustle of the city, providing a peaceful and tranquil environment where I can stay away from stress and daily worries and enjoy the tranquility and tranquility of nature.
