Taipei Botanical Garden - Angel House Introduction
Taipei Botanical Garden, a rare example in Taiwan that integrates diamond-level green building design with the wisdom of the country's top horticulturists, centers around the relationship between humans, plants, and the environment. It depicts Taiwan's ecological environment through a variety of plants from different climates and regions. The garden features the only exhibition greenhouse in Taiwan that displays the largest variety of plant species in a single unit area. The exhibition areas of Taipei Botanical Garden include the Taiwan Native Plants Zone, showcasing local characteristics; the Tropical/Subtropical Plants Zone, exuding the charm of tropical islands; the Orchid and Fern Display Area, bursting with floral variety; the Succulent Plants Zone, featuring uniquely shaped varieties; the Temperate Plants Zone, offering a feast for both sight and smell; and the Alpine Plants Zone, representing resilience. Additionally, the Temperate Plants Zone includes a display of Begonia varieties, provided by Professor Peng Ching-yi from Academia Sinica, featuring over a hundred varieties he has curated from around the globe over the past 20 years, particularly highlighting this oddly shaped and beautifully patterned plant. The garden showcases over a thousand plant species, each competing to display their unique and beautiful forms. (Source: Taipei Botanical Garden)
