Fumin Ecological Park Introduction
Fumin Ecological Park is one of the few parks in Taipei City focused on aquatic ecology. It was completed at the end of 2002 after about five years of construction and renovation. Fumin Ecological Park is located beside Lane 177, Section 5, Minsheng East Road, in the Songshan District, nestled between Sanmin Road and Xindong Street. The area covers approximately 8,413 square meters. The park's most distinctive feature is its nearly 100-meter-long ecological waterway, which resembles a miniature version of northern Taiwan's streams. Downstream from the riverine ecological area is a pond ecological area, featuring aquatic plants such as Lotus, Water Lily, Cattail, and Taiwan Lemna. The floodplain area at the end of the ecological zone also hosts a rich variety of aquatic plants, including Water Clover and Eggleaf Water Lily. Walking within Fumin Ecological Park, one can observe birds, amphibians, and insects; hear the sounds of frogs croaking and birds singing, as well as the flowing water; and smell the natural floral fragrances of wild ginger and Osmanthus. Fumin Park provides a serene opportunity for the citizens of Taipei, who are usually surrounded by bustling traffic, to experience the beauty of nature.
