Erbazi Botanical Garden is a specialized plant conservation area in the Xindian District focused on native Taiwanese species. It serves as a living laboratory for ecological education and biodiversity preservation rather than a traditional ornamental park. The garden features extensive collections of local ferns, wild ginger, and rare regional flora. Visitors walk through designated paths that highlight various micro-habitats found within the humid subtropical mountain environment. It functions as an environmental education site with an emphasis on low-impact, sustainable tourism. The terrain is hilly, requiring moderate physical exertion to explore the diverse plant zones.
