Guandu Nature Park

Guandu Nature Park

Guandu Nature Park is located on the east bank of the confluence of the Tamsui River and the Keelung River, within the Guandu levee. It is a nature park that integrates conservation, education, and research functions, and is also one of the few remaining wetland environments in the Taipei City area. The park boasts an abundant bird population and has been an important habitat for migratory birds since ancient times. It is also one of the best spots for birdwatchers to enjoy.

Bordered by Guandu Temple and the residential area of Guandu Li to the west, Dadu Road to the north, Xiabaxian Community to the east, and the Guandu Levee and Guandu Nature Reserve to the south, the park covers a total area of 57 hectares. The park can be divided into four zones: the main facilities area, the conservation core area, the outdoor observation area, and the sustainable management area. The conservation core area is not open to visitors, but its conditions can be observed through telescopes on the second floor of the center or from the birdwatching huts.

Known as the “Birdwatcher’s Paradise” and “the last piece of pristine land in northern Taiwan,” Guandu Nature Park offers the best birdwatching experience from October to March each year. In addition, the park is home to diverse ecological resources such as plant species, fiddler crabs, and mudskippers, all of which are well worth exploring and observing.
