Lotus Pool Research Center Introduction
Established on April 23, 1918, originally named "Medicinal Plant Cultivation Experiment Site," located in Wucheng Village, Yuchi Township, Nantou County. It was renamed to the "Lianhuachi Research Center" of the Forestry Research Institute under the Council of Agriculture in 2002. Due to the rich biodiversity of the surrounding environment, the current survey of flora and fauna in the park includes 177 families, 561 genera, and 879 species of higher plants, of which 589 species are native and 290 species are introduced. There are 78 species of wild birds, as well as 131 species of butterflies, 24 species of frogs, 10 species of lizards, 11 species of reptiles, and 20 species of mammals. Additionally, this area is a great place to view fireflies every year from April to May.
