The park covers a little over ten hectares and houses more than one hundred species of plants. The entire area is focused on natural ecology, with the guiding principle of preserving the natural landscape without causing damage. As a result, many native organisms thrive here, including the firefly season from March to April, the night flight of rhinoceros beetles in June and July, and a fish pond surrounded by teak forests. In the gentle evening breeze, teak leaves and century-old eucalyptus leaves fall, framing the sunset’s afterglow in a breathtaking display.
The park cultivates many exotic flowers and fruits. One of them is a plant commonly known as “tree grape,” the Brazilian Jambolão. Jambolão originates from Brazil, is also called tree grape, and is a evergreen shrub that bears fruit in spring and autumn. Its large, round fruits have an average sweetness of thirteen to seventeen degrees, are fragrant and delicious; they can be turned into wine with an alcohol content up to forty‑eight degrees, and they possess the unique aroma of grapes. Because tree grapes are extremely rare in Taiwan, most people might mistake them for ordinary grapes based on appearance alone if they haven’t seen them in an orchard. However, on tasting, they are fragrant, sweet, and distinctly different from grapes; they are not only crisp and refreshing but also highly nutritious. In addition to this special fruit, the park also offers other tropical native species such as red durian from the Malay Archipelago, Indian “spice tree,” Pacific olive, Mauritius saw‑tooth guava, and pink fluff flower. With many tropical natives, the park is developing eco‑tourism and leisure agriculture, aiming to transform the area into an ecosystem park of native tree species.
