Fuzhou Mountain Park Introduction
The park was taken over by the Fuzhou Mountain Park in the 90s, and in the budget for 93, funds were allocated for the demolition of structures above ground. After successive demolitions, the area was greened to maintain its original appearance, and based on suggestions from mountain friends, pavilions were added, seamlessly connecting to the existing park, providing Taipei citizens with a new leisure destination. The park is located on the hillside next to Xinhai Road and Wulong Street, covering an area of approximately 172,488 square meters at an altitude of about 105 meters. Originally a cemetery, since its establishment as a park, the planning has focused on natural ecological conservation, with extensive reforestation, a complete forest profile, rich ecology, and pleasant scenery. Aside from necessary soil and water conservation and disaster prevention facilities, other artificial structures are minimized and easy to manage and maintain. Hiking trails have been established, where the sound of insects and birds can be heard along the way, the air is fresh, and pavilions are provided for rest. Visitors can enjoy distant views of Guanyin Mountain and Datun Mountain, as well as a panoramic view of Daan District, making it the best spot to observe Taipei 101. It is truly a tranquil paradise amid the hustle and bustle. The planting planning is based on the principle of preserving the natural landscape of the park area, with focused planting of shade-providing trees, flowering trees, and shrubs only at the entrance of hiking trails, resting platforms, and pavilions. The former cemetery has now become a frequently visited area for hikers and an excellent place for ecological education.
