Established in May, 1979, Dahu Park occupies an area about 134,135 square meters with Mt. Bailushi (Mt. Egret) at the back and Egret Lake in the center. The name of the lake derives from the great amounts of egrets that could be found back in the past. Today, a number of waterfowls can still be seen by the lake.
Dahu Park is designated to be a multifunctional park with diverse manmade and natural features, including Mt. Bailushi (Mt. Egret), Bailushihu (Egret Lake), fishing zone, trails, Chinese style bridges and pavilion, as well as indoor and outdoor swimming pools making it a nice leisure stop in Taipei City. The top of Mt. Bailushi (Mt. Egret) is a great place for panoramic views over Dahu Park and the surroundings, where it can simply be reached by a 20 minute hike. The Chinese-style bridges and pavilion on Egret Lake are popular spots for wedding photos. Dahu Park is one of the few places in Taipei City, where one may enjoy fishing in the city center.
