The sea of flowers at the Dagouxi Waterfront Park in Neihu District is back! Over 40,000 blooming flowers, including begonia, French marigold, and sweet viola welcome the arrival of spring. The best time to enjoy the scene of blooms is mid-February, so don’t miss out on the opportunity!
Access to the waterfront park is convenient and only takes a short 10-minute walk from MRT Dahu Park Station. The entrance is easily noticeable, with 5 bamboo-knit chickens welcoming visitors next to the steps.
According to the Hydraulic Engineering Office (HEO), the Dagouxi Waterfront Park is the first eco park in Taipei to merge leisure with the functions of a riparian buffer to enhance riverbank stabilization. The facility plays a key role, since the water of Dagouxi River passes through the various bodies of waters and forests located in the vicinity of Wuzhishan Mountain.
Equally important is the park’s role as a natural habitat. HEO pointed out that in a recent survey, the Dagouxi ecosystem showed records of visits by over 40 different kind of birds. For lucky visitors, he or she might be able to catch a glimpse of rare avian such as Taiwan barbet, Taiwan blue magpie, crested serpent eagle, oriental honey buzzard, and crested goshawk!
