Daan Forest Park is a 26-hectare green oasis in the heart of Taipei, offering a peaceful escape from the urban bustle. Visitors can stroll along shaded walking paths, relax by the large central pond teeming with turtles and ducks, or explore the ecological pool and bamboo grove. The park also features a fitness area, children's playground, and an outdoor amphitheater hosting occasional performances. It's a popular spot for jogging, picnicking, and birdwatching, with over 60 bird species recorded.
