Daan Park

Unclaimed

Daan Forest Park (大安森林公園) offers a serene escape in the heart of Taipei, and its ecological pond is truly the gem of the park. Surrounded by lush greenery, this area is a haven for wildlife and a perfect spot for nature lovers and families alike. The pond is teeming with life—colorful fish dart through the water, turtles bask lazily on rocks, and various bird species can be seen gliding gracefully or perched on nearby branches. During my visit, I was thrilled to spot a few kingfishers and egrets, which added a magical touch to the experience. What makes the ecological pond special is its emphasis on preserving a natural environment. The landscape feels intentionally wild yet thoughtfully maintained, creating a peaceful space that encourages quiet observation and reflection. Informational signs around the area help you learn more about the flora and fauna, making it both educational and enjoyable.

Really nice park in a cool part of town. I really enjoyed walking through here. You can tell that it is a core part of the neighborhood, there were a ton of people exercising and meeting with friends/family. I enjoyed seeing this piece of life in Taipei.

Some people say this is the most beautiful park in Taipei. No doubt this park is so fresh with lots of trees, seasonal flowers. There are birds flying everywhere, some big squirrels running around, they are not afraid of human, showing that the relationship btw nature and human here is highly appreciated.

This forested park in the middle of Taipei city is tastefully designed to be a peaceful n serene place to stroll n relax. It’s home to many different species herons n other birds. Love it!

I went when it was a little rainy. Every time I go to Da’an I see a new side of it, it’s very nice and big. Great for leisurely walking - interesting activities taking place under the shelters so it was nice ti stop and watch. Also great for spotting birds! There are some nice ponds, big and small - honestly highly recommend a walk to and through this park!
