Shuhong Ecological Park Introduction
When the river beach of Wugu Flood Control Ecological Park is exposed, it always attracts a large number of water birds for foraging. From a distance, the river beach looks like stones scattered around, but upon closer inspection, they turn out to be numerous Taiwanese mud crabs, fiddler crabs, and mudskippers, which is quite spectacular. The 324-hectare flood control channel was originally built for flood prevention. It began as a project by the Environmental Protection Administration of the Executive Yuan to improve the environment of the Erchong Flood Control Channel while maintaining its flood control function and environmental protection. In March 1998, with a substantial pollution fee of over 1.34 billion NT dollars, the New Taipei City Government was commissioned to execute the greening project of the Erchong Flood Control Channel. After 5 years and 4 months, it successfully transformed the Erchong Flood Control Channel from a dirty and chaotic state into a beautiful, modern, and multifunctional recreational park.
