Shu Hong Ecological Park Introduction
Wugu Flood Relief Ecological Park's riverbank land, when exposed, always attracts a large number of water birds for foraging. From a distance, the riverbank appears to be scattered with stones, but upon closer inspection, it is actually a large number of Taiwanese mud crabs, soldier crabs, and mudskippers, which is quite a spectacle. The flood relief channel covers an area of 324 hectares and was originally built for flood prevention. It originated from the Environmental Protection Agency of the Executive Yuan's initiative to improve the environment of the Dazhong Flood Relief Channel while maintaining its flood relief function and environmental protection. In March 1998, over 1.34 billion NTD was allocated from air pollution fees to commission the New Taipei City Government to carry out the greening and beautification project for the Dazhong Flood Relief Channel. After 5 years and 4 months, the Dazhong Flood Relief Channel successfully transformed from a dirty mess into a beautiful, modern, and multifunctional recreational park.
