Taiwan Insect Center + Fuyang Eco Park, Taipei (台灣昆蟲館+富陽生態公園)

 
What an interesting and educational insect center! 

      It is a free and educational insect center, though it is small! We stayed here for only 2 hours, but already knew the insects, reptiles, and some animals roughly .

      The photo above is the display walls for stick insects, hercules beetles, etc. The photo below is the display box of fossils and specimens.

      An ostrich fossil, a living quail, and 2 parrots are placed in a row.

    This is a cute house for 2 cute bunnies. 

      This tortoise shell is huge. I saw the inside of a tortoise shell for the 1st time.


      This room is full of reptiles, tortoises, and some animals.

      If you want to experience "learning by TOUCHING," some paid courses are provided for you. In class, we got the chance to touch the beetle, the cockroach, and the tortoise. The instructor is very informative, energetic, and talkative, so I'll definately come back for her class again.

      A hissing cockroach:

      A European tortoise:

      The clerks are very helpful to customers. They teach you how to take care of larvas.

      After that, we went for a walk at Fuyang Eco Park. You rarely see an eco park reachable by MRT, but it is.

     It is a historic military tunnel.


       It won't take you too much time to stay there since it is small.

      There are trails going to different directions.

     If walking for 1 hour is what you want, you will be satisfied with this park.
