Dapingding Tropical Botanical Garden Introduction
Dapingding Tropical Botanic Garden is the first metropolitan tropical botanic garden in Taiwan, constructed for conservation, research, education, and recreation, often regarded as the lungs of the area, providing a rich and diverse plant and ecological environment. With its excellent geographical location and climatic conditions, it nurtures a wide variety of species. The terraced land, steep slopes, and cliffs within the base environment provide diverse habitats for organisms. It serves as a site for environmental education and ecotourism, addressing global concerns, and is a resource for academic research and natural conservation. It was also awarded the "2010 National Excellent Construction Award" for Outstanding Environmental Culture - Gold Medal, earning the nickname "Green Pearl." The garden is mainly divided into tropical style area, fruit tree area, grassland area, rainforest area, coastal plant area, aquatic plant area, greenhouse plant area, and an educational interpretation center. Additionally, there are four walking routes planned according to distance, suitable for different physical conditions, allowing visitors to gradually challenge themselves from the Leisure Path to the Hero's Path.
