Bade Pond Natural Ecological Park Introduction
Strolling through Taoyuan Bade Pingtang Nature Ecological Park feels like stepping into a green sanctuary gently preserved by time. This urban oasis, covering an area of 4.5 hectares, retains the unique ping-tang landscape of Taoyuan. It is not only an excellent place for citizens to relax, but also a precious ecological treasure trove. The ping-tang is the soul of this park, where a clear water surface reflects the blue sky and white clouds like a natural mirror. The Taiwan water fern, hornwort, lotus, and water mint bloom under the sunlight, creating a dynamic watercolor scene. With careful observation, you may spot purple gallinules foraging among the water plants, little egrets waiting quietly for prey on the shallows, and night herons hiding in the treetops, waiting for dusk. If you visit in winter, you might have the chance to encounter the great egret and gray heron up close, adding a touch of wild charm to the tranquil ping-tang. The green architecture in the park is not a cold concrete jungle, but features warm wooden structures. The management center and observation platform are constructed using recycled green materials, cleverly integrating local elements into the design. Notably, the wooden landscape café offers a cozy atmosphere enhanced by handmade bread and freshly brewed coffee, allowing visitors to satisfy their taste buds while enjoying the beautiful scenery. The artificial ecological pool creates a rich wetland environment, becoming a paradise for various aquatic plants and animals. Here, education and entertainment go hand in hand. It is not just a leisure place but a living natural classroom. The park regularly holds environmental education activities centered around the history and ecology of the ping-tang. Through nature observation, scientific practices, and interactive games, visitors are guided to learn about the cultural history and natural environment of the ping-tang, deeply understanding the value of its conservation. Walking along the lakeside trail, you will be amazed at how this urban green space harbors such rich biodiversity, as if you were in the beautiful scenery of Hualien's Yushan. A splendid fusion of art and nature greets you at the secondary entrance of the park, where a large installation named "Four-Eyed Frog" stands out. This is a legacy from the past "Taoyuan Landscape Art Festival" and has become a landmark of the park. The combination of artistic creation and the natural environment adds a cultural charm to this ecological park. As visitors stroll along the waterfront promenade, wetland platforms, or elevated pavilions, the wooden walkways guide them to explore this wetland treasure. Whether you are picnicking on the grass with your children or quietly observing the ping-tang fauna, Bade Pingtang Nature Ecological Park allows you to temporarily escape the urban hustle and immerse yourself in this rare green experience.
