Weiwuying Metropolitan Park Introduction
Weiwuying Metropolitan Park was established after decades of efforts and was once referred to as the "Green Dream." Its motto is "Let children grow together with grass, flowers, and trees; let loving couples stroll in the shade, among flowers and grass; let the elderly have a place to rest, walk, and exercise; let urban residents have a warm green dream." As you walk along the undulating green hills, you will find shade from trees, grassy slopes, and preserved old trees that continue to provide shelter and nesting spots for birds. It feels like a forest in the city, generating fresh air for the urban environment and allowing people to breathe freely. The forest nurtures rich life; as you walk through it, remember to listen, observe, and quietly greet the forest. Originally the site of the Eighth Corps of the National Army, Weiwuying covers an area of 67 hectares. After the military unit relocated, the city government transformed 47 hectares into a metropolitan park. On the south side of the park, there are Nanhu (South Lake), Summer Avenue, a children's playground, and the original three interconnected buildings left from the Weiwuying area. The former assembly area used for new recruits and the water tower have been converted into an observation tower that overlooks the entire park, featuring a viewing platform, bike paths, and expansive grassy areas. The central open lawn is suitable for running, picnicking, flying kites, and hosting performances and activities.
