RIVERS – 河 流

• Rivers in Taipei – 臺北的河流
• Taipei is shaped and nourished by a network of rivers that have played a central role in its development, ecology, and recreation. The rivers are bordered by levees and floodways, as Taipei is prone to typhoons and heavy rainfall. Riverside parks offer biking, walking, and sports facilities—like the Tamsui River Bikeway and Dajia Riverside Park. Wetland areas such as the Guandu Nature Park support birds, fish, and native plants. Rivers divide Taipei into natural zones and are integrated into green infrastructure planning.
