Fuzhou Mountain Park Introduction
The park was taken over by the Fuzhou Mountain Park in the 90s, and in the 93rd year, a budget was allocated for the demolition of above-ground structures. After gradually removing these structures, the park was beautified while preserving its original appearance. With reference to the opinions of mountain enthusiasts, gazebos were added, creating a seamless connection with the existing park, offering Taipei citizens a fresh new place to relax. The park is located on the hillside beside Xinhai Road and Wolong Street, covering an area of approximately 172,488 square meters, at an elevation of about 105 meters. It was originally the Fuzhou Mountain Cemetery and has been developed into a park focused on natural ecological conservation. The area is densely planted with trees, maintaining a complete forest structure and rich ecology, along with pleasant scenery. In addition to necessary soil and water conservation and disaster prevention facilities, other artificial structures are minimized and designed for easy management and maintenance. There are hiking trails where the sounds of insects and birds can be heard, and the air is fresh. Gazebos are available for resting, with views of Guanyin Mountain and Datun Mountain, offering a panoramic vista of the Daan District and being one of the best spots to admire the Taipei 101 building. It is truly a tranquil paradise amidst the hustle and bustle. The planting plan aims to preserve the park's natural landscape, with significant planting of shade-giving, bird and butterfly-attracting, flowering trees and shrubs at the entrances of hiking trails, resting platforms, and gazebos. What was once a cemetery has now become a popular destination for hikers and a great place for ecological education. (Source: Taipei City Government Public Works Department Park Guide Website)
