The skywalk passed through the woods...
...and offered visitors a different view of the forests from above the trees.
This trail was paved with sawdust.
New sawdust offered a fresh smell of woods.

The bridge was name from the first two words from Laozi’s Daodejing, which are homonymy to university in Chinese and local students always joked one would be ensured to go to universities after crossed this bridge.
