Introduction

Taipei Botanical Garden, with an area of about eight hectares, was an important site for studying plants during the Japanese rule. Many different plant species were introduced into the site from Taiwan, Japan, China and Southeast Asia for the purposes of experimentation and research. So far, the buildings and plant species at the site have far exceeded past glory, with a collection of more than 2,000 plant species. According to plant classification system and characteristics, each area of the Botanical Garden is presented under a different theme, and explanatory signs are set up for each exotic flower and rare herb for visitors. These areas include: Lotus Pond, Chinese Zodiac Garden, Succulent Plants Garden, Fern Garden, Poetry and Literature Garden, Ethno-Plants Garden, Arecaceae Garden, etc. With the changing seasons, the plants within the Botanical Garden also change, and each season brings with it a whole new treescape. If visiting in the afternoon, the tourists will be treated to the comfort of dimming light and cooling temperature.

Peace and harmony in the middle of Taipei

2020-02

Many residents of Taipei simply want some peace and quiet, in a city full of hustle and bustle. The trees are mature and the flowers are emerging with the advent of spring. Some visitors stroll, some jog. The Guest House of Imperial Envoys is worth a look. The docents in the Visitors Centre are helpful. By the way, the best access is by the Bo Ai Road entrance. Take Exit 3 from the Xiao Nan Men station on the Green Line and follow the signs. The Nanhai Road side is completely blocked off by a construction project,

OK

OK for a quiet stroll, if you just want to fill in time. Well laid out though not much of interest in early February. Glasshouses a disappointment, no entry, definately need some care & attention

Not very interesting

2019-10

There was not much to see. The place is frequented by locals, mostly for relaxation because it was a very quiet place with lots of trees shading people from the afternoon sun. The place looked like it needed some renovation or better maintenance. Perhaps it's also because there was on-going construction beside it the visit to The Botanical Garden was not that interesting.

Large collection of Plants and Trees

2019-11

+ Only a few minutes walk from the MTR + Nice place to spend couples of hours to walk around and know little more about plants and trees

Very peaceful

The gardens are easily accessed by walking or MRT, and are very peaceful. There is a large variety of plants and trees, and plenty of places to site and relax. The lily pond is especially nice.
