Anping Tree House

Anping Tree House is located behind the Tait& Co. Merchant House, and was originally a Tait& Co. Warehouse. Built around the end of the 19th Century at the beginning of the Japanese Colonial Period, this place was also once a warehouse of the Japan Salt Corporation, and the current scale the building is the product of extension by the Japanese. After over a hundred years of transformation, the warehouse wall is covered in banyan roots, and the dense, towering treetops seem to have become the roof of the warehouse. This unusual appearance gives Anping Tree House a sense of mystery, and the distinctive form of the tree house is a marvel of symbiosis, similar to the large trees of Angkor Wat coiled around the Ta Prohm Temple. The gaps between the tree trunks make a perfect walkway for people to walk through, and one can also travel among the treetops. The tree house is also a good habitat for wildlife, and lots of squirrels and birds frolic. When tired of walking, tourists can visit the Tree House coffee shop, cool down with an ice cream and then continue to explore the elegance of Anping.
