The fantastic island featured in the movie ‘Life of Pi’ has undoubtedly left a lasting impression on viewers. The enchanting setting was filmed at Bai Rong Garden, a remarkable location that lies within the Port Work Station of the Hengchun Branch of the Forestry Research Institute in Gangkou Village. This unique garden is characterized by a single tree that has grown to form a forest, spanning an impressive area of over 800 square meters. Alongside the original forest, numerous tropical trees have been reintroduced, showcasing the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature.
The trees at Bai Rong Garden are interwoven and entangled, creating a density and breadth that is truly astonishing. The scenery is breathtaking, with ancient, towering trees that are nothing short of spectacular.
Bai Rong Garden is open to visitors all year round, from Tuesday to Sunday, between the hours of 9:00 and 17:00. Given the age of many of the plants, which have been growing for a century, the garden limits the number of daily visitors to 100 to preserve the delicate ecosystem. Therefore, if you wish to visit, it is advisable to arrive early to secure your spot and experience the natural wonders of Bai Rong Garden.
