The vast space is well planned, a natural park where you can mainly watch seasonal water birds, and a rich ecology








Great park for birdwatchers and naturalists in general! The entrance fee is 60 TWD for the day. The focus here is water birds. There are some nice paths and ponds to walk around but the star of the show is the bird hides strategically located around the park. Unfortunately some of them aren't well maintained with lots of branches in front of the windows but overall a great place. There is also a bigger viewing area at the visitor center in the middle of the park with binoculars and very helpful staff.

Beautiful park and comfortable space for birdwatching. There's a large center with telescopes and some ventilation, so you don't get bitten up by mosquitoes and midges (there are many anywhere there is some greenery). You can pay for entry with Easycard. The visitors at the center are great and can tell you about the birds. For English speakers, the signage has English and you can rent a headset/audio player for 2hrs for $150 NTD with English, Japanese, and Mandarin.


It is recommended for people who are interested in the wetland and the bird watching. The entrance fee is fair. What you see and the area you walk around is only 10% of the park. On the weekend, there is an orientation of the wetland, which is not open to the public on weekdays. Better inquire at the visitor center about the time slot in case you would like to explore the protected wetland and the fantastic landscape. It is definitely worth going for a little bit extra charge. It takes about one hour. Even though you are not so keen on the orientation, you may simply breathe the fresh air and indulge yourself in the comfortable environment.








Silent nature place near by the guandu temple and not far away from the MRT station. Nice views, a lot of possibilities to watch bird and insects.




The Park is still okay but I think it needs better maintenance and renovation to attract more visitors like the young audience












Excellent wetlands park with very friendly staff. You can cycle here along the city’s cycling path to avoid traffic, or you can take the red line and get off at 關渡 Guandu station. The entrance tickets are inexpensive at 30 NT but totally worth it. With over 229 species of birds being recorded here, in addition to many plants, amphibians and other lovely creatures, Guandu is a wonderful place to learn about how Taipei is dealing with the delicate balance between Mother Nature and urban development. There is a cafe on the 2nd floor where you can have drinks or even lunch while listening to chirping birds. The volunteers are knowledgeable and will use the binoculars on the second floor of the center to point and direct you towards the seasonal birds. On the first floor there’s an auditorium where they show short, informative videos related to the park. Managed by the Wild Bird Society of Taipei, Guandu shows how comprehensive management by a responsible NGO helps make the environment a better place.
