The centre is officially recognized as the first forest-based environmental education venue in Taipei.
The Labyrinth Garden is specifically designed to provide a natural playground that teaches visitors about plant structure and navigation.
The site features a specialized 'Pond Garden' that supports aquatic life native to the mountain streams of the Shilin area.
It is strategically located within the catchment area of the Shuangxi River, making it a critical point for local water resource observation.
Neishuangxi Nature Centre is Taipei’s premier mountain forest education facility, situated in the Shilin District at the confluence of the Neishuangxi and Neiliao streams. The site is divided into a sun-loving forest, an aquatic plant garden, and a coniferous forest area designed for ecological research. It features a specific 'Labyrinth Garden' constructed with hedge walls that mimic local forest flora. The centre serves as a hub for environmental education, offering programs focused on forest conservation, geology, and local hydrology. Its geographical location provides a unique transition zone between urban foothills and higher mountain ecosystems. The park is characterized by its intentional landscaping which prioritizes native Taiwanese plant species.
The elevated viewing deck overlooking the Labyrinth Garden provides the most comprehensive perspective of the park's layout.
Wear insect repellent as the lush, humid mountain environment attracts significant mosquito activity.
Bring a refillable water bottle, as the centre emphasizes environmental conservation and hydration stations are available.
Check the official Facebook page for seasonal guided tours, which are often the only way to access specific restricted ecological zones.
Do not attempt to swim in the streams, as the water levels can rise rapidly and the terrain is protected for scientific study.
Closed on Wednesdays throughout the year for site maintenance.
No collecting of plants or insects; remain on designated paths to protect the sensitive ecological research zones.
