Neishuangxi Nature Center Introduction
Located in the southeastern corner of Shilin District, Neishuangxi Nature Center covers an area of 104 hectares, making it the largest forest nature park in Taipei City. With its rich ecology and diverse terrain, it rivals the scenery of Xitou, earning it the nickname "Little Xitou in Taipei." The Taipei City Government's Land Engineering Department has invested in its redevelopment, planning and constructing hiking trails, observation platforms, and access roads to connect the Neishuangxi mountainous area between Neihu and Shilin. It integrates resources from Neishuangxi Forest, nature park, Biyang Camping Ground, Baishi Lake Rural Community, and surrounding ecological landscapes. At the entrance, the "Bixi Bridge" features stone sculptures of the Taiwanese tree frog at both ends, highlighting the unique and rich ecology of the Xitou area. The bridge's guardrail also includes a semicircular observation platform for the public to enjoy the flowing waters of Neishuangxi and the bizarre rock formations of Lion's Head Mountain. Following the hiking trail, visitors will encounter a giant wooden observation deck constructed of black sandalwood, with its four supporting pillars retaining their original log shapes, creating a spectacular design. At the entrance, there's a plum blossom-shaped square for resting. Climbing the observation deck that stands 6 meters tall offers a distant view of Dalunwei Mountain and Yuanshanzi Mountain. The park is also equipped with a solar photovoltaic demonstration system, using solar energy to achieve energy conservation and carbon reduction, complemented by interactive experiences for educational demonstrations to the public. This area belongs to the Bixi watershed, with abundant water resources that nurture its ecology. The terrain lies at the intersection of the ancient Snow Mountain range and the emerging Datun Mountain range, making it rich in ecological resources and diverse in landscapes, providing a recreational environment that combines living, leisure, and ecology.
