The trail's name 'Sansheng' refers to the harmony between three elements: the production of crops, the preservation of ecology, and the quality of daily life.
The cherry blossoms along the trail are primarily the Yoshino variety, known for their light pink petals.
The irrigation canal running alongside the trail was renovated to enhance water conservation and landscape aesthetics.
The trail serves as a habitat for various endemic bird species and amphibians native to the Dakeng Creek watershed.
Hydrangeas bloom here in a wide spectrum of colors, influenced by the soil's acidity level along the canal banks.
Sansheng Trail is a 2-kilometer riverside walking path located along the Dakeng Creek in the Sanzhi District of New Taipei City. The trail is distinctive for its dual-layered floral display, featuring Yoshino cherry blossoms in the spring and vibrant hydrangeas that bloom during the summer months. The path is constructed along an irrigation channel originally built for agricultural purposes, connecting rural farmland to the riverbank. It offers a flat, paved surface suitable for pedestrians and strollers, flanked by manicured green spaces. The route is part of a larger agricultural promotion effort to integrate natural ecology with local tourism in Northern Taiwan. Visitors can observe local wetland ecosystems and traditional farming landscapes throughout the walk.
