Xincen Park Introduction
Budai is not only a wetland granary but also a treasure trove of environmental ecology, featuring many habitats for migratory birds and bird-watching points. Among them, the Nán Bùdài Wetland Xincen Park serves as the best observation point, where one can spot Black-faced Spoonbills and various bird species from over 200 meters away. Recreational facilities such as bird-watching walls, activity squares, trails, and parking spaces along the windbreak offer a comfortable bird-watching environment for scholars, experts, and birdwatchers from both domestic and international backgrounds. The Nán Bùdài Salt Field Wetland spans approximately 722.21 hectares. According to the survey results from 2020, species such as Black-faced Spoonbills, cormorants, Anatidae (such as Northern Shoveler, Mallard, and Spot-billed Duck), Little Grebe, Red-necked Phalarope, Black-headed Gull, Black-tailed Gull, Egyptian Goose, and various waders such as the Oriental Pratincole and Common Sandpiper were observed. Notably, the count of Black-faced Spoonbills reached 639 that day. Plant species include Taiwan mangrove, Indian lilac, bulrush, and dragon claw grass. Aquatic species such as fish, shrimp, shellfish, and aquatic plants like seaweed, filamentous algae, tassel algae, and stoneweed showcase the rich ecological diversity of the area.
