Fumin Ecological Park Introduction
Fumin Ecological Park is one of the few parks in Taipei City focused on aquatic ecology. After approximately five years of renovation and construction, it was completed at the end of 2002. Fumin Ecological Park is located next to Lane 177, Section 5, Minsheng East Road in Songshan District, situated between Sanmin Road and Xindong Street, covering an area of about 8,413 square meters. The park's most notable feature is its ecological waterway, which stretches nearly 100 meters, resembling a miniature of the streams in northern Taiwan. Downstream from the river ecological area is the pond ecological area, which is home to various aquatic plants such as the Full Scarlet, water lilies, bullrushes, and Taiwan duckweed. At the end of the ecological area, the floodplain area is also rich in aquatic plants like Changsha, three-white grass, and egg-leaved water spiraea. Walking in Fumin Ecological Park, one can see birds, amphibians, and insects; hear the sounds of frogs croaking, birds chirping, and flowing water; and smell the natural fragrance of wild ginger and osmanthus flowers. Fumin Park provides Taipei residents, who are usually surrounded by bustling traffic, the opportunity to pause and experience the beauty of nature.
