Fumin Ecological Park Introduction
Fumin Ecological Park is one of the few parks in Taipei City primarily focused on aquatic ecology. After about five years of organization and construction, it was completed at the end of 2002. Fumin Ecological Park is located beside Lane 177, Section 5, Minsheng East Road in Songshan District, nestled between Sanmin Road and Xindong Street, covering an area of approximately 8,413 square meters. The park's most notable feature is its nearly 100-meter-long ecological waterway, which resembles a miniature version of the streams in northern Taiwan. Downstream of the river ecological area is the pond ecological area, which is home to a variety of aquatic plants such as Hanguang, water lilies, bulrushes, and Taiwan duckweed. At the end of the ecological area, in the floodplain area, there are abundant aquatic plants such as Changsha, three-white grass, and egg-leaved water chinquapin. 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 flowers and osmanthus. Fumin Park offers Taipei residents, who usually live amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, a chance to pause and experience the beauty of nature.
