Thousands-pond Township

Thousands-pond Township
Taoyuan County is located in Northern Taiwan .There are many ponds at Taoyuan Plateau for irrigation, so the county has a nickname called " Thousands-pond Township".
Due to increasing population rapidly and heavy traffic ,Taoyuan County needs more parks to be the lungs to breathe the fresh air and to relax for the local residents and visitors. But it isn't easy to get a large field in the city.
Recently, Taiwanese folk is changing, most of people consider when the relative had passed away to be burnt to ashes and put into Buddhist temple tower. So that the past tombs fields inside or at the edge of town are becoming the beautiful parks. And the military camps inside the city are released to be the parks.
Most parks keep the special symbol of ponds to save water and form a Eco-friendly environment. A variety of water plants and creatures grow in the ponds and the ducks ,geese, chicken play in harmony with each other by the sides.
We understand that the living space belongs not only to human being but also to all plants and creatures .
千塘之鄉
桃園縣位於北台灣。為了灌溉之利，桃園台地密佈許多水塘，所以" 有千塘之鄉 "的別名。
由於人口的急速增加和交通流量很大，桃園縣需要更多的公園作為都市的肺，來呼吸新鮮空氣，給當地居民和遊客舒暢輕鬆的地方。但是要在都會區取得大片土地相當不易。
近年來，台灣的民俗在改變中，許多人考慮當親人逝去，火化成灰置放於佛寺骨灰塔。如此許多城市內或市區邊緣的舊墳場就可改變為美麗的公園。並取得城區內的軍營釋出的土地，作為公園。
許多公園保留了池塘這種特色，用來儲水也形成了對環境友善的生態公園。池塘中有許多不同的水生植物和生物，鴨子，鵝，雞彼此和諧相處，在池邊玩耍。
我們了解這個生活空間不僅屬於人類，也屬於所有的植物和動物。
