Fumin Ecological Park Introduction
Fumin Ecological Park is one of the few parks in Taipei City that focuses on aquatic ecosystems. After about five years of renovation 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, situated between Sanmin Road and Xindong Street, covering an area of approximately 8,413 square meters. The park's most distinctive feature is its nearly 100-meter-long ecological waterway, which serves as a miniature representation of the streams in northern Taiwan. Downstream from the river ecosystem area is the pond ecosystem area, which is home to aquatic plants such as Lobelia, water lilies, cattails, and Taiwan's duckweed. At the end of the ecological area, the floodplain zone is rich with aquatic plants such as Changsha, three-white grass, and egg-leaf water daphne. Walking through Fumin Ecological Park, one can see birds, amphibians, and insects; hear frogs croaking, birds singing, and the sound of flowing water; and smell the natural fragrance of ginger flowers and osmanthus. Fumin Park provides an opportunity for Taipei citizens, who live amidst busy traffic, to pause and experience the beauty of nature.
