Mangrove Ecological Education Center Introduction
The Mangrove Ecological Education Center is currently under construction and is temporarily closed to the public. The Mangrove Ecological Education Center is a small yet beautiful educational facility that features a variety of exhibition spaces, including static displays and multimedia audiovisual areas. It utilizes graphics, posters, illuminated boxes, and multimedia audio-visual methods to introduce the growth process of the star species of mangroves—Kandelia obovata—and the ecology of fiddler crabs, mudskippers, and water birds found in the mangrove ecosystem. There is also a viewing platform for close observation of the protected area, and through excellent viewing windows, visitors can enjoy the spectacular landscapes of vast mangrove forests, the coastal sea view of Tamsui River's estuary, the scenery of Guanyin Mountain, and the magnificent red color of the Guandu Bridge. It is located adjacent to the Tamsui Mangrove Natural Reserve and on the second floor of the Tamsui Mangrove MRT Station, where visitors can closely observe the mangrove ecological environment. If needed, prior reservation requests can be made to experience the outdoor ecological trails under the guidance of a tour guide, allowing for a personal encounter with the mangrove ecosystem and closer interaction with the water birds, intertidal organisms, and the diverse array of estuarine life within the Tamsui Mangrove Ecological Reserve. Here, visitors can closely appreciate the world's largest pure Kandelia obovata forest.
