Xianzhilin Wetland Park Introduction
The elongated Xiazhanglinpi Wetland Park is located in Sanmin District, Kaohsiung City, between Dingjinhou Road and the Dingjin Interchange. It is one of the successful wetland parks in Kaohsiung City in recent years, featuring flood retention, flood prevention, recreational education, and ecological functions. On the northern side of the park is the "Ecological Dense Forest Area," where the dense native Barringtonia trees act like the lungs of the city, buffering and blocking the interference caused by the northern highway to the ecology and environment. The "Ecological Maintenance Area" deepens and reshapes the original terrain, creating ecological islands and aquatic cultivation zones, with a variety of aquatic plants like Zingiber zerumbet, water caltrop, and cattail planted throughout, utilizing the self-purification mechanism of the ecological water body to improve water quality. The fresh environment and natural greenery attract waterbirds and wildlife, while the bicycle paths and shaded green areas provide visitors with peaceful corners for relaxation, making it a beautiful backyard of Kaohsiung City.
