  National Palace Museum

  The National Palace Museum was established on October 10, 1925. Artifacts and precious objects from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasty imperial collections were presented to the world for the first time here. Since 1931, civil unrest in China and foreign threats made the National Government decided to secure the Museum's artifacts into boxes, marking the beginning of a long migration of tens of thousands of artifacts. Until settling in Taiwan, these priceless objects have seen 40 years of turmoil. This torturous process is a part of human civilization and one of the things that makes the Palace Museum special. All of the treasures have been well preserved and not one piece was damaged during the move. After years of donations and continual purchase and expansion of the collection, today the National Palace Museum in Taipei has more than 650,000 objects in its collection. It is a world-class museum in terms of conservation, preservation and research.

Animals such as the Formosan red-bellied tree squirrel, Japalura swinhonis, and various birds live in the forest. The trail leads to Pingdeng Village. The canal is highly important to the local residents' drinking and irrigation water, sustaining local ecological habitat and the pastoral culture.
