Mangrove Ecology Education Center Introduction
The Mangrove Ecological Education Center is currently under construction and is temporarily closed to the public. It is a small yet beautiful ecological education center. The existing exhibition space includes static displays and multimedia audiovisual areas, using graphics, posters, light boxes, and multimedia videos to introduce the growth process of the mangrove star species – Avicennia marina, as well as the ecology of fiddler crabs, mudskippers, and water birds in the mangrove. There is also a viewing platform for close observation of the reserve, as well as scenic windows offering spectacular views of the expansive mangrove forest, the coastal scenery of the Tamsui River estuary, the colors of Guanyin Mountain, and the magnificent red Guandu Bridge. It is located adjacent to the Tamsui Mangrove Nature Reserve on the second floor of the Tamsui Mangrove MRT Station, allowing for close observation of the mangrove ecosystem. If needed, prior reservation requests can be made to enter the outdoor ecological trail under the guidance of a docent, experiencing the mangrove ecosystem firsthand and approaching water birds, intertidal organisms, and a variety of lively estuarine creatures within the Tamsui Mangrove Nature Reserve. Visitors can closely observe the world's largest pure Avicennia marina forest here.
