Tamsui Mangrove Parent-Child Trail, parents who roam the natural ecology, come here. The mangrove ecological trail is super short and easy to walk. The trail is flat and can be pushed by a stroller. You can also see the three new treasures of Tamsui River Estuary. It is recommended to take the MRT to Mangrove Station. First,

After visiting the Mangrove Ecological Education Center and getting a preliminary understanding of the ecological environment, you will feel very friendly when you see the mudskippers and fiddler crabs. If your physical strength permits, you can go directly to Tamsui to eat delicious food and visit the scenic spots, and have a fun day trip in Tamsui.

There are really many and interesting trails in Taipei, whether they are beautiful ocean views, majestic mountain views, secret waterfalls, sky trails, etc., there are even parent-child trails that are super short, flat, and very convenient for strolling.

On this day, I discovered an ecological trail hidden in the mangrove station. You can easily visit it by taking the MRT and walking. So what are you waiting for? Let’s go quickly.

After arriving at the MRT Mangrove Station, please go out of the gate through Exit 2. Do not leave the station, but take the escalator to the second floor. On the right is the light rail platform. Turn left to reach the Mangrove Ecological Education Center.

There is a parking lot next to the education center. If you have children at home who tend to run wild when taking the MRT, you may consider driving here directly.

The mangrove ecological education center and indoor picture book reading space are free to visit. The exhibitions in the museum introduce the ecosystems of the intertidal zone and freshwater estuaries with models, videos and drawing boards, such as the three treasures: fiddler crabs, water pens and mudskippers. First of all,

Here, after children have a preliminary understanding of the entire ecosystem through picture books or videos, their impressions will be deepened when they go to the actual environment.

The museum uses pictures, multimedia and models to introduce the viviparous process of water pen cubs, acacia trees, water birds and other animals and plants, allowing visitors to better understand this rich wetland ecology.

There is a small wetland simulation area in the museum, which uses origami and specimen models to introduce mudskippers and fiddler crabs. You can also carefully appreciate the text on the picture board, allowing children to learn knowledge outside the classroom in a relaxed environment.

It’s normal for male fiddler crabs to have big hard things, cough, I mean chelicerae, but in fact there are dozens of crab species in mangrove wetlands, and fiddler crabs are just one of them.

The library also has a book reading area. There are many nature-related picture books and reading materials for children to read freely in a quiet environment. There are also puzzles to play, which are not too difficult and are suitable for primary one children.

The funniest thing is that the museum thoughtfully designed the message board. The most popular message was: The ecological trail is difficult to find. Who would push the safety door under normal circumstances? It’s super funny.

Then I will take you to find the missing passage.

Please take the elevator in the museum to go downstairs instead of walking back to the MRT station.

When you get to the first floor, when you get out of the elevator, you will see the toilet and the safety door next to the toilet.

Yes, it is the door that most people would not open under normal circumstances.

It's strange that the museum didn't put a note on the security gate to save everyone the trouble? Push open the security gate and you'll come to the New World, which is actually outside the MRT station and walk forward in the direction of the Tamsui River Mangrove Nature Reserve.

Go down the towpath. Since this is also a bicycle path, there are many vehicles passing by. Please be careful about the safety of children.

When you walk down the towpath, you will see a box culvert with a red sign for trail guidance. Please go left.

This path is the starting point for the mangrove viewing trail, which is only accessible by foot, not bicycles.

We will arrive at the mangrove ecological trail. The entrance is small and inconspicuous.

It only takes less than 5 minutes to walk from the ecological museum to Zhilei, which is quite easy.
