The Wooderful Land @ Taoyuan International Airport in Taiwan

From the outside, this section within the departure hall of Taoyuan International Airport appeared to be just a wood-themed seating area filled with fake trees that wouldn't have survived in such indoor atmosphere. 

It's much more than that! Known as the The Wooderful Land, I would deem this as an informative exhibition that those waiting for their plane should check out. For example, an answer to why trees were so capable of carbon storage1 

The exhibition hoped to trigger your four senses; sight, touch, hearing etc. The above may seem like sex toys but they served to excite your sense of smell, with the aroma of essential oils made from three different types of wood found in Taiwan. 

Sounds of wood - not that effective for a tone-deaf person like me!

Touch the various kinds of wood. To me, wood is just wood and that's the reason why I prefer to have a black and white theme for my apartment. There are just too many types of wood, not to mention that many used for furniture are simply just plywood. Those pure wood ones would be too expensive! 

Advantages of wood although I am more intrigued by the secrets of the pores. What pores?! I only know wood has those lines officially known as wood grains. 

Explanation on a specific tree; like this radiata pine which is also known as new zealand pine. This feels so much like I was in a zoo, albeit a much smaller scale. 

Ending this post with the cute version of the Formosan black bear; endemic, and the only native bear species in Taiwan. From the pictures I found online, the Formosan black bear has a same appearance as the sun bear but it's much larger!
