Fumin Ecological Park Introduction
Fumin Ecological Park is one of the few parks in Taipei City that focuses primarily on aquatic ecology. After about 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 the Songshan District, between Sanmin Road and Xindong Street, covering an area of approximately 8,413 square meters. The park's most notable feature is its ecological waterway, which is nearly 100 meters long and resembles a miniature version of northern Taiwan's river systems. Downstream of the river ecological area is the pond ecological area, which is home to aquatic plants such as Houttuynia cordata, water lilies, cattails, and Taiwan's duckweed. At the end of the ecological area, the floodplain zone boasts a rich variety of aquatic plants, including Juncus effusus, Cyperus albescens, and ovate water lonicera. Walking through Fumin Ecological Park, visitors can see birds, amphibians, and insects; hear the sounds of frogs, birds, and flowing water; and smell the natural fragrances of ginger flowers and osmanthus. Fumin Park offers urban dwellers in Taipei, who are usually surrounded by traffic, an opportunity to pause and experience the beauty of nature.
