Travel notes in Asia Cement Corporation Eco-Park

Far Eastern Memorial Foundation / Xu Jingfang

        As a member of the group, although it has been known for a long time that the Hualien Factory of Asia Cement Corporation has a large-scale butterfly ecological park, it seldom goes to the East because it lives in the western half of Taiwan. This business trip to Hualien, finally had the opportunity to see the beautiful butterflies.
        
        


        

        Everyone knows that Butterfly Eco-Park is located in Hualien Factory of Asia Cement Corporation, but many people probably don't know how to get to the factory. In fact, if you take the Taiwanese Railway, you can get off at Hualien Station or Xincheng Station, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the East Coast along the road, slowly put aside the urban customs, and let your mood enter the holiday mode. In addition, you can also consider taking domestic flights. It takes only 40 minutes to move quickly from the cement jungle in the city to the beautiful scenery of Hualien. Even better, Hualien Asia Cement Corporation provides 20 minibuses. As long as you make an appointment in advance, you can arrange to transfer them to the Asia Cement Corporation Eco-Park, no matter which mass transit point in Hualien. It's also a good choice for people who don't want to spend too much traffic time.

        Arriving at the main entrance of the Asian Cement Corporation Hualian Factory, you can see the marble sign of the "Asia Cement Corporation Leisure Garden" at a glance. This is the starting point of the ecological park. The map of the park beside it clearly shows the planning and distribution of the park. It is strongly recommended that you make an appointment for the guide. The guide teacher will explain the park ecology for you first. The anecdotes they share with the coming guests are precious treasures.
        
         The park is divided into three major themes, namely, the Bamboo Insect Park, the Butterfly Park and the Protophytic Park. Firstly, we came to the bamboo insect area with transformer ability. Bamboo stick insect, also known as'?', is a herbivorous insect. There are about 28 species in Taiwan and about 2,500 species in the world. It is good at mimicking leaves or branches to avoid natural enemies. Because of their first-class camouflage skills, Asia Cement Corporation specially arranged a "suite" for bamboo insects to have a fixed home in order to facilitate management and roll call. Visitors will be invited to try to locate the bamboo insect. Usually when the answer is revealed, they will be surprised. Among them, "leaf? Bamboo insect" is just like a leaf with veins on its body; "green pepper bamboo insect" like its name, likes to disguise itself as a long green pepper; the name "ghost bamboo insect" sounds mysterious, its native place is Australia, and its appearance is very mysterious. The tone is like dead leaves, hidden in the deciduous heap, it will never be found; to Taiwan native species of "bamboo stick insect", it is really like a green slender branch, and it also emits a special aroma similar to human oyster. These natural camouflage experts are amazing.
        
        Then, to the romantic butterfly park, in addition to the outdoor park, there is a 600-floor "net room butterfly park". Dozens of native butterflies are cultivated in the park. If I hadn't seen them with my own eyes, I really didn't know that the width of butterflies'wings could be as big as the mask of butterflies in masquerade. Having been used to seeing Pink Butterflies in urban parks for a long time, I came to the Asian Cement Corporation Butterfly Garden to see these big red-striped butterflies, dead-leaf butterflies, and yellow-clothed butterflies, which are not afraid of being born, as well as the delicate third-level conservation of the country, deeply fascinated and do not want to leave. Because I was wearing a khaki coat that day, a withered butterfly might have thought of me as a tree with protective color, and actually stopped on my shoulder. Then another big white spot butterfly, also very hot, stopped at the tip of my nose. Unfortunately, it was too late to lift the camera self-timer. These beautiful memories can only be kept in memory. It's amazing, and the pupae of the Great White Spotted Butterfly, each of which shines with a bright golden metallic luster, is more touching than any gold earrings! In addition, it is worth mentioning that the ecological pools in the Netroom Butterfly Park regularly provide the fruits butterflies need to eat, and the park also has detailed explanation boards and chrysalis incubators, which make people admire the Asian Cement Corporation colleagues for their meticulous and careful protection of the beautiful ambassadors of the earth.
        
        Finally, come to the protophytic garden. There are 250 species of native plants planted here, including low, medium and high altitude plants in Taiwan, with commentary boards and QR code database, which enrich the plant knowledge of visitors. In the beautiful scenery of Hualien Tailuge Mountain Lan, I reluctantly ended my natural trip to Hualien Eco-Park of Asia Cement Corporation.
