Bihu Park Introduction
After getting off at Wende Station on the Dahu Line of the Taipei Metro, turn into Wenhe Road Lane 101 and walk about 200 meters to see the stunning Bishan Lake surrounded by emerald hills; this is Bihuxi Park. Bihuxi Park is located at No. 175, Section 2, Neihu Road, Neihu District, Taipei City, near the National Taiwan University of Arts, covering an area of over 13 hectares. The "Daping Lake" in the park spans approximately 8 hectares and was once a source of irrigation water for agriculture. Nestled in Neihu District, Bihuxi Park serves not only as a garden for local residents but also as one of the only two water landscape parks in Taipei that feature large lakes. The park, adjacent to mountains and water, showcases a beautiful natural environment, harmoniously integrating with the scenic views around the lake, often leaving a profound impression on visiting tourists. Since its establishment in 1987, the park has gradually completed beautification of the green land on the eastern side of the lake, as well as the addition of a Chinese-style pavilion, a zigzag bridge, and a lakeside walkway. Surrounding the lakeshore, various landscape plants like fringe tree, willow, bald cypress, white paperbark tree, African tulip tree, royal poinciana, hibiscus, azalea, and dwarf fountain grass thrive, with colorful butterflies fluttering during spring and summer. The park includes a management center (commonly known as the Little White House), a reading room on the first floor for public use, and facilities such as a children's playground, a tennis court, and a swimming pool. Fishing areas are planned along the lakeshore, allowing visitors to enjoy scenic sightseeing as well as recreational activities like fishing. There are also six hiking trails that lead up the mountain, providing shaded pathways and serene pavilions. Standing on the mountain peak offers a view of the beautiful Bihuxi, making it an ideal place for public recreation, hiking, and relaxation. Source: Neihu District Office website.
