The number of visitors in 2013alone exceeded 30,000. Seeing that the festival has the same purpose asShoushan National Nature Park to promote ecological conservation, thePreparatory Office organized a film tour in Kaohsiung in November and December2013, not just showing the films in the Preparatory Office’s education center,Shou Shan Zoo and local NGOs, but also schools at each level and remote areasin Kaohsiung.
