Fu’s Garden

Was this garden once a secret sanctuary for rare plants? We are now standing before Fu’s Garden, a place steeped in history and natural beauty. It started as the arboretum of Taihoku Imperial University. They planted various tropical flora for research. Unfortunately, not all species could adapt to Taipei’s climate. Only a few survived to this day. In 1950, University President Fu Ssu-nien passed away. A monument, reminiscent of the Parthenon, was erected here in his honor. It houses his mausoleum. The arboretum was renamed Fu’s Garden, a tribute to his legacy. As you stroll through the garden, look for those resilient trees. Imagine them whispering tales of a time when this garden was a scientific haven. Fu’s Garden is more than just a park. It’s a living testament to history, knowledge, and the enduring power of nature’s beauty.
