Guizikeng Soil and Water Conservation Education Park

Guizikeng is located at the foothills behind Fuxinggang, Beitou District, Taipei City. Since the Qing Dynasty, the region has been extensively mined for sandstone and white porcelain clay, thereby causing considerable damage to the region’s surface, which lead to poor conditions of the soil and water.
In 1977, the Vera typhoon in Taiwan caused major landslides in the downstream of the Guizikeng river. Therefore, the Taipei City Government set up regulations to prohibit the mining of porcelain clay as well as using various soil and water conservation approaches such as plant maintenance, gird type slope protection, etc., in order to gradually restored the original landscape of Guizikeng.
The Soil and Water Conservation Outdoor Classrooms launched in 1983 which has become an important location for viewing, promoting and educating the public on the concept of soil and water conservation.
