Fuzhou Mountain Park Introduction
The park took over Fuzhou Mountain Park in 2001 and allocated a budget in 2004 for the demolition of structures on the site. After gradually removing the above-ground structures to maintain its original appearance, the park was greened, and based on the opinions of mountain friends, pavilions were built to seamlessly connect with the original park, providing Taipei citizens with a new leisure destination. The park is located on the hillside next to Xinhai Road and Wolong Street, covering an area of approximately 172,488 square meters at an elevation of about 105 meters. Originally a cemetery, the park was established with a focus on natural ecological conservation, featuring extensive tree planting, a rich ecosystem, and pleasant scenery. In addition to essential soil and water conservation and disaster prevention facilities, other man-made structures are minimized and designed for easy management and maintenance. The park includes hiking trails where the sounds of insects and birds can be heard and the air is fresh. There are also pavilions for resting, with distant views of Guanyin Mountain and Datun Mountain, offering a panoramic view of the Daan District cityscape. It is also one of the best spots for viewing the Taipei 101. The park serves as a tranquil oasis amid the hustle and bustle, with planting planning aimed at preserving the natural landscape, focusing on planting shade-providing, bird-attracting, and flowering trees and shrubs only at key points such as the trail entrance, resting platforms, and pavilions. Formerly a cemetery, it has now become a popular destination for hikers and an excellent venue for ecological education. (Source: Taipei City Government Public Works Department Park Website)
