Shu-Hong Eco-Park Introduction
Wugu Floodway Ecological Park's river beach exposes itself during low tide, attracting a large number of waterbirds to forage. From afar, the riverbank appears to be scattered with stones, but a closer look reveals a magnificent sight of numerous Taiwanese mud crabs, horseshoe crabs, and mudskippers. The floodway spans an area of 324 hectares and was originally constructed for flood control. The project began when the Environmental Protection Administration of the Executive Yuan allocated over NT$1.34 billion in March 1998 to improve the environment of the Erchung Floodway and maintain its flood drainage function while focusing on environmental protection. After 5 years and 4 months, the Erchung Floodway was successfully transformed from a messy state to a beautiful, modern, and multi-functional recreational park.
