A green treasure in the city, where historical relics and art coexist #DaNan Forest Park Landscape Art Festival - Bade District, Taoyuan City

#AugustGoodPlaces2025 Located in Taoyuan's Bade District, Danan Forest Park is an indispensable urban oasis for Taoyuan residents. Formerly the site of the First Guard Brigade, this sprawling park has undergone years of planning and renovation, transforming into a comprehensive park integrating ecology, history, art, and recreation. Spanning approximately 24 hectares, Danan Forest Park boasts towering native trees, including camphor, acacia, and banyan trees. Long untouched by human activity, it nurtures a rich flora and fauna, including squirrels, white-crowned buntings, and jays, making it a prime spot for nature observation and ecological education. Strolling through the forest trails offers lush greenery and fresh air, creating a tranquil retreat for urbanites. Beyond its natural beauty, the park also cleverly incorporates historical elements, with some of the original buildings preserved and converted into exhibition spaces and pavilions. The park features numerous trails and plazas suitable for hiking, jogging, and family strolls. Some open spaces have been converted into lawns and performance spaces, hosting markets, music events, and environmental education programs. Danan Forest Park, conveniently located near downtown Taoyuan, offers a rare natural environment. It's not only a great place for residents to exercise and relax, but also serves as Taoyuan's vital "urban green lung," adding a sense of tranquility and freshness to busy lives.
