Shuhong Ecological Park Introduction
The Wugu Floodway Ecological Park's exposed riverbank tends to attract a large number of waterbirds looking for food. Viewed from a distance, the riverbank resembles scattered stones, but upon closer inspection, it reveals a large number of Taiwan mud crabs, long-arm mud crabs, and mudskippers, which is quite a spectacular sight. The floodway covers an area of 324 hectares and was originally built for flood control. The project began in March 1998 under the Environmental Protection Administration of the Executive Yuan, aiming to improve the environment of the Erchong Floodway while maintaining flood control functions and environmental protection. With a budget of over 1.34 billion NTD, the New Taipei City Government was commissioned to execute the green beautification project, which took 5 years and 4 months to complete, successfully transforming the Erchong Floodway from a dirty area into a beautiful, modern, multifunctional recreational park.
