Daan Forest Park

#taipeitrip Daan Forest Park (大安森林公園) offers a serene escape in the heart of Taipei, and its ecological pond is truly the gem of the park. Surrounded by lush greenery, this area is a haven for wildlife and a perfect spot for nature lovers and families alike. The pond is teeming with life—colorful fish dart through the water, turtles bask lazily on rocks, and various bird species can be seen gliding gracefully or perched on nearby branches. During my visit, I was thrilled to spot a few kingfishers and egrets, which added a magical touch to the experience. What makes the ecological pond special is its emphasis on preserving a natural environment. The landscape feels intentionally wild yet thoughtfully maintained, creating a peaceful space that encourages quiet observation and reflection. Informational signs around the area help you learn more about the flora and fauna, making it both educational and enjoyable.
