Fuyang Eco Park | Taipei Attraction

Fuyang Eco Park was formerly a military ammunition depot. Covering about 13 hectares, it has been converted while preserving a large amount of original vegetation and wildlife habitat. The trail passes through a cluster of abandoned bunkers; after rain, frog calls echo through the forest, and opportunities for observing birds and amphibians far exceed what a typical city park offers. It is within walking distance of MRT Linguang Station and is one of the few genuinely natural urban spaces in Taipei's Da'an District.

Highlights of Fuyang Eco Park

Though the park's area is not large, its vegetation density is far higher than that of a typical park. Tall trees shade most of the trails, keeping conditions relatively cool even in summer. The site retains several decommissioned bunkers and ammunition storage structures, some of which are accessible on foot — one of the few places in central Taipei where visitors can get close to military historical remains. Trail surfaces are well maintained and the overall difficulty is low, suitable for all ages.

The park's ecological highlight is its amphibians. Frogs are highly active in pooled water after rain, and multiple frog species have been recorded here. For birdwatching, the understory environment attracts common urban resident species such as the Japanese white-eye and the Taiwan barbet. Night-time nature observation is not recommended for solo visitors due to limited park lighting; morning walks are the most common way locals use the park.
