Jioufanpi Wetland Park Introduction
Jiufan Pond was originally a public irrigation pond providing water sources for agriculture. Following the decline of agriculture and being obstructed by the highway, it fell into disrepair and became a dumping ground. After efforts from environmental groups and local enthusiasts, the original waterways were restored, and the concept of a wetland nature park was introduced. Facilities have been planned, including walking paths, water-friendly areas, educational zones, sedimentation areas, and natural forest areas. This not only provides a habitat for wildlife but also serves as a flood detention area and a place for citizens to connect with nature. Jiufan Pond currently features an A-shaped reinforced concrete structure, which was an important tool for early timber companies to transport logs to storage pools, holding historical significance and marking the area's distinctive landmark. Now, the chain of wetland parks linking north and south Kaohsiung has taken shape, with reflections of the sky and clouds in the green water, and the sounds of insects and birds create a vibrant scene that has become one of the most pleasant and serene corners in the city.
