Zhaoyang Forest Park, Urban forest park in Daan District, Taipei, Taiwan.
Zhaoyang Forest Park is an urban woodland spanning about 26 hectares situated between two major roads in the city. It contains native tree species including camphor, cajuput, ficus, and maple, with walking paths and public facilities for visitors to explore.
The land was previously occupied by unauthorized structures before transforming into an ecological space in the late 20th century. Its official opening in the early 1990s represented a shift toward integrating nature into urban development.
The forest space shows how the city values green areas within urban neighborhoods. Residents visit regularly to walk, rest, and spend time among trees rather than buildings.
The park is accessible through multiple entrances and lies near two metro stations, making it easy to reach by public transportation. Walking paths are well-maintained and rest areas are scattered throughout for visitor comfort.
The forest functions as an observation site for bird populations, offering visitors unexpected opportunities to spot various bird species in the middle of the city. This makes it a valuable location for nature lovers who rarely expect to find wildlife diversity in urban areas.
