  • The project involves planting nearly 50,000 plants in a layered design to create a green corridor and enhance the artistic atmosphere around the New Taipei City Museum of Art.
  • The initiative aims to improve the quality of life for residents and connect cultural activities, encouraging visitors to use the new MRT line to experience the landscaped area and museum events.

New Taipei City is preparing for the imminent opening of the San-Ying Line MRT by undertaking a significant landscape renovation along Guanqian Road in Yingge District. The Department of Landscape is transforming the central median into a vibrant green corridor, planting nearly 50,000 colorful plants. This project, part of the "Art into New Taipei City, Urban Prosperity - San-Ying Line Opening Series Activities," aims to create a visually layered and ecologically functional space.

The design features a multi-layered planting scheme with a variety of plants chosen for their rich color and adaptability. Species like Ixora, Ruellia, and particularly Croton and Cordyline, are used to create a dynamic visual effect, turning the road into a "flowing natural scroll" that complements the artistic ambiance of the nearby New Taipei City Museum of Art.

Officials emphasize that urban greening goes beyond aesthetics; it enhances residents' quality of life and serves as a foundation for cultural events. They invite the public to utilize the new San-Ying Line to visit Yingge, enjoy the artistic plant landscapes along the green corridor, and participate in activities at the museum.

The greening of the city is not just about changing the visual, but also about improving the quality of life for citizens and connecting cultural activities.
