Maolin Environmental Education Center

The Maolin Environmental Education Center is situated on Maolin Alley of Maolin Village. It is a supplementary facility of the Maolin National Scenic Area, which is known for its diverse ecosystem, landscapes, indigenous cultures, and most importantly, swarms of migrating purple crow butterflies that can be seen every winter. The center was established by the Maolin National Scenic Area Office in an effort to maintain the environment and ecotourism in Maolin District. The office enlisted the help of the government, industries, and academia to train personnel and develop courses that incorporate features of the local environment. Besides establishing the center, the office encourages the public and private sectors to care about natural resources and the diversity of the local ecosystem, hoping to create an environment for sustainable environmental education.

Visitors are recommended to spend about an hour here to learn more about the unique environment and ecosystem of the Maolin National Scenic Area through environmental education courses, which can be booked on the website of the National Scenic Area in advance.

Come to Hundred Points to collect stamps. Before planning the route, I looked at the street view at home for a long time, but I couldn’t see where it was. Judging from the color of the tiles in other people’s photos, it should be in the same building of the peasant association, so I set the destination to find it when the peasant association arrived Look for it, as soon as you arrive, you will see it on the left next door🤣

Maolin National Scenic Area has beautiful scenery. When walking to Lover's Valley Waterfall, I found green bamboo silk crawling on the road. When chatting with local residents, I learned that a palace group bought several cages of cobras and various types of poisonous snakes and released them near the waterfall. See It is a good behavior to release animals, but if you deliberately buy and release animals from the breeding farm, it is meaningless and endangers the lives of others, and releasing animals has no merit or significance! If the beautiful land and mountains and rivers become snake caves, who will protect the safety of local residents and tourists? Compassion must be wise, because if someone buys it, they will catch or breed endlessly. If they don't buy it, it will stop naturally! Your mercy is only to benefit the businessmen who sell snakes and catch snakes. Please think twice before you act, and think more about ''people''!

The very attentive visitor center has introductions about butterflies, clean toilets, drinking fountains, souvenir sales and enthusiastic service staff. In addition, I have met the commentators who introduced the purple butterfly in detail and seriously twice when I went there. Features and habits, from simple viewing to intellectual journey!

Tel: 08-7997245 Service time: 08:30 ~ 17:00 Maolin Visitor Center and Purple Butterfly 3D Audiovisual Museum address: No. 16, Neighborhood 1, Maolin Lane, Maolin District, Kaohsiung 851001 Tel: 07-6801111 Service time: 08:30 ~ 17:00 There are two major overwintering butterflies in the world, namely the monarch butterfly in Mexico and the purple monarch butterfly in Taiwan. The monarch butterfly in Mexico belongs to the temperate winter butterfly valley. In the mountainous area where vehicles cannot reach 3000 meters above sea level, they are closely related due to temperature. Hanging, there are few active forms, so most of them can only be viewed statically. On the other hand, the Taiwan Purple Spotted Butterfly is a subtropical wintering butterfly valley, living in valleys below 500 meters above sea level. From November to March of the next year, as long as the weather is rainy or cloudy, they are almost every day from nine to five. When going to and from get off work, we follow the three-no policy: no clock-in, no lateness, and no leave, so in comparison, it is relatively easy, wonderful, comfortable, easy, and interesting to appreciate Taiwan's monarch butterflies.
