Weiwuying Metropolitan Park Introduction
Weiwuying Metropolitan Park, built after decades of efforts, was once referred to as the "Green Dream." Its motto is "Let children grow with grass, flowers, and trees; let loving couples wander in the shade of trees and among flowers; let the elderly have a place to rest, walk, and exercise; and let urban residents have a warm green dream." Moving forward with the undulating green hills, there are shaded areas, grassy slopes, and old trees retained to provide shelter, allowing birds to nest. It feels like a forest within the city, creating fresh air for the urban landscape and giving people a place to breathe freely. The forest nurtures rich life; as you walk through it, remember to listen, observe, and quietly greet the forest. Weiwuying was originally the site of the Eighth Corps of the National Army, covering an area of 67 hectares. After the corps relocated, the city government transformed 47 hectares into the metropolitan park. The southern area of the park includes Nanhu, Summer Avenue, a children's play area, and the three interconnected buildings left from the original Weiwuying district. The former gathering area for new recruits and the water tower have been converted into a lookout point, offering views of the entire park, complemented by a viewing platform, bike paths, and extensive grassy fields. The central open lawn provides a space for free running, picnicking, and other activities.
