FengKeng Park

The vegetation of Xinfeng Mangrove Forest is lush and thriving. Follow the wooden boardwalk to its end. Here lies a Hackberry Forest Park (FengKeng Park), designated as the "Centennial Hackberry Tree Habitat Area". Hackberry trees are distributed across low-altitude and coastal areas throughout Taiwan. In early times, they were used as windbreak tree species, but their numbers later decreased significantly due to logging. The hackberry tree clusters in FengKeng Village currently boast the highest number on Taiwan's west coast. The scenery of FengKeng Village is quaint and ancient, with traditional Sanheyuan (three-sided courtyard) buildings nestled among the hackberry trees. "Tianshuitang" is inscribed on their lintels, and the owners of these old houses share a common ancestor with the Jiang family of Beipu. Almost all residents in the village are surnamed Jiang, hence the place is also known as "Jiangcuo" (Jiang Family House). The ancient twin-building complex carries the family's history and is also one of the starting points of Northern Hakka culture.
