Niaosong Wetland Park(鳥松濕地公園)and Chengcing Lake Scenic Area(澄清湖園區)offer picturesque retreats for those who enjoy natural surroundings and seek tranquility, away from the daily hustle and bustle of the city. This year, the city government completed extensive renovations and upgrades to both Niaosong Wetland Park's wooden trail and Chengcing Lake's main entrance, giving them a fresh updated look. These improvements enhance their natural beauty and create inviting destinations for visitors seeking relaxation amid natural surroundings. |

The newly renovated Niaosong Wetland Park now features an ecological corridor. The updated elevated wooden trail offers scenic panoramic views and a greater sense of space. The space under the newly installed trail also allows for a safe crossing and potential habitat for small animals, which also contributes to the natural surroundings and allows for humans and nature to coexist harmoniously. |

Similarly, in keeping with net-zero goals, Chengcing Lake's main entrance was designed to reduce carbon emissions. The project replaced outdated features such as old paths, the green installation art, and water features, creating a more streamlined open space. LED lighting has also been added to enhance the landmark's enchanting atmosphere and safety for visitors and local residents alike. |

Niaosong Wetland Park and Chengcing Lake, with their abilities to regulate temperature and purify the environment, contribute to Kaohsiung's efforts of becoming carbon neutral. Renovations have also focused on improving visitors' experiences by promoting a deeper connection between people and nature. The upgrades not only aim to make the wetland and lake more popular natural venues, but also provide educational spaces where visitors can learn about the area's ecology. |
