Weiwuying Metropolitan Park Introduction
Weiwuying Metropolitan Park was built after decades of efforts, originally referred to as the "Green Dream." Its motto is "Let children grow together with grass, flowers, and trees; let loving couples roam under the shade of trees and among flowers; let the elderly have a place to rest, walk, and exercise; let urban residents have a warm green dream." As you move forward through the undulating green hills, there are shaded areas, grassy slopes, and old trees preserved to provide shelter and nesting places for birds. It feels like a forest in the city, generating fresh air and allowing people to breathe freely. The forest harbors rich life; while walking through it, remember to listen, observe, and silently greet the forest. Weiwuying was originally the site of the Eighth Army Corps of the National Army, covering an area of 67 hectares. After the corps relocated, the city government transformed 47 hectares into a metropolitan park. The southern side of the park includes Nanhu, Summer Avenue, a children's playground, and the remaining three linked buildings from the original Weiwuying area. The former assembly ground for new recruits and the water tower have been converted into a lookout point, offering views of the entire park and featuring an observation deck, bike paths, and expansive grassy areas. The central open lawn allows for running, picnicking, flying kites, and various performances.
