Weiwuying Metropolitan Park Introduction
Weiwuying Metropolitan Park was built after decades of effort and was once referred to as the "Green Dream." Its motto is "Let children grow with the grass, flowers, and trees; let loving couples wander in the shade of trees and amidst flowers; let the elderly have a place to rest, walk, and exercise; let urban residents have a warm green dream." Moving forward along the undulating green hills, the park features shaded areas, grassy slopes, and preserved old trees that continue to provide shelter and serve as nesting spots for birds. It feels like a forest in the city, generating fresh air and allowing people to breathe freely. The forest nurtures rich life; while walking through it, remember to listen, observe, and greet the forest in silence. Weiwuying was originally the site of the Eighth Corps of the National Military, covering an area of 67 hectares. After the corps relocated, the city government transformed 47 hectares of it into a metropolitan park. The southern side of the park includes South Lake, Summer Avenue, a children's play area, and the original three-block buildings left from the Weiwuying area. The former assembly grounds for new recruits and the water tower have been converted into a lookout point that offers views of the entire park. It also features observation decks, bike trails, and expansive grassy areas where people can run freely, have picnics, fly kites, and engage in performance activities.
