A Large Eco-park in Nangang
Formerly the site of a landfill, the land has been transformed into a scenic 21 hectare tree-filled park that offers a nice place to relax outside of busy Taipei city. The park contains a log cabin with outdoor seating for drinking coffee, a pavilion, observatory, walkways, playground, and slides that lead to a sand pit with a shade covering. The park can be reached by private transport, or public bus 679 from Nangang Exhibition Center MRT.
