Taipei Botanical Garden

The Taipei Botanical Garden is located in the Nanhai Academy on Nanhai Road in Zhongzheng District, Taipei, Taiwan. The Botanical Garden covers an area of about 15 hectares and includes over 1500 plant species.

History

The Taipei Botanical Garden was originally established during Japanese rule in 1921, although the garden itself has been in existence since 1896. It is maintained by the Taiwan Forestry Research Institute. In 1930, there were 1129 species in the garden, serving largely academic research and natural sciences. However, the garden was deserted during World War II. After the war, the garden was rearranged and new plants were introduced.

Overview

Currently, the garden is maintained and has over 1500 species of plants. There are 17 districts in the garden, exhibiting various plants. The 9 ponds are also designed to grow different plants. There are two buildings in the botanical garden currently listed as historical structures. One is a Qing Dynasty era administrative office build in 1888 and relocated to the garden in modern times. The other is a herbarium.

This is a very nice garden to visit year round for a quiet stroll. It is behind the National Museum of History and ten minutes from Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall station.

Nice garden with a large pond. Admission is free. Mornings are frequented by photographers and nights by cats.

Beautiful lotus pond and overall beautiful park to walk around. Just remember to bring mosquito repellent cause there are LOADS.
