 Vacation Enjoyed in Hui Sun Forest, Health and Happiness Brougth Home

Hui Sun forest, with 7,477 ha in area situated at Nantou county, Taiwan approximately 65km northeastern from Taichung is the biggest one among 4 experimental forests of this National Chung
Hsing University. Due to 2000m altitude differences here in HuiSun, forest is longitudinally scattered between peak and valley, so the main features of the climate can be divided into 3 regions the hot, the warm and the subtropical climates. Each region has its own adaptive plants which consist of varieties of vegetation.
The apparent varieties of plants in the above 3 regions resulted in multi-variety ecological system. Due to the recent economic booming and industry progress in Taiwan, people desire to enjoy a sort of quiet, natural and comfortable life in some forest recreation areas, for their vacation. In order to meet the
popular resort in forest, Hui Sun has planned a 1567 ha forest recreation area and offer the tourists some expectationsin ecology and forest management.
The chief purpose of Hui Sun forest is to facilitate faculties and students carrying out their research and experiments. Based on this assumption, the knowledgeable tour in forest becomes the main expectation since the forest recreation activities began to operate in 1978. All accommodations must follow the scenery and environment protection standards by which we can prevent the scene of forest from deterioration.
Additionally we have also embellished the Hui Sun forest recreation area with the scene and forest site kept as natural as possible. It is now urgently necessary for us to promote the ecological conservation for the tourists and foresters after the terrible earthquake occurred on September 21 the 1999 in central
Taiwan. At the same time, we have offered more interpretation and further information about ecology which will cultivate the tourists to love forest and nature fervently.
Above all, HuiSun earnestly welcomes such tourists as being indulgent to the environment and forest.
