Chen Qimai moved out of 497 hectares of green space before leaving office to make life easier: Lai Ruilong will expand it to 609 hectares

The pedestrian bridge from Chingcheng Lake across Songyi Road to Guoling Park was opened. Before Mayor Chen Qimai left office, the green space connecting the green, Chingcheng Lake and other green spaces reached 497 hectares. Niaosong's "Mengli Forest Park" was also officially opened today. The Facebook community Kaohsiung Haoqiu quoted the Democratic Progressive Party's Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Lai Ruilong's plan to expand it to 609 hectares.

Chen Qimai mentioned that this should be the largest urban urban park in the six cities. He also expressed special thanks to Lai Ruilong for his help in obtaining funds for the flyover and will continue to complete the ecological construction concept of the Great Qingcheng Lake District.

Chen Qimai took stock of the surrounding green space, including the Kaohsiung Golf Course, which was reclaimed after painstaking efforts with the owners and members, and transformed into a 70-hectare green park, which connected the 26-hectare Shuanghu Park that was relocated and transformed during the tenure of former mayor Chen Ju. Chen Qimai also demolished many illegal buildings and renovated the 24-hectare Mengli Forest Park.

According to statistics, there are 375 hectares of Chengcheng Lake Scenic Area, 70 hectares of Guoling Natural Park, 26 hectares of Shuanghu Park, and 24 hectares of Mengli Forest Park, totaling 497 hectares.

However, in Lai Ruilong's plan, the overall recreation and disaster prevention plan for the "Great Ching Ching Lake Area" also includes the 25-hectare Golden Lion Lake, the 18-hectare sports and leisure park and detention pond, the 14-hectare Aboriginal Museum reservation site, and the 55-hectare Fengshan Tropical Horticulture Experimental Branch, totaling 609 hectares.

It is speculated that Lai Ruilong will continue the policy of expanding green spaces and forests by Mayors Chen Ju and Chen Qimai, and will continue to promote the connection of pedestrian spaces, the expansion of green spaces, and the establishment of a multi-level flood control system. He will also continue to promote the retail and hotel functions on the lakeside, such as the Aboriginal Museum, the sports and leisure park, and the transfer function after the completion of the Yellow Line in the future, forming a recreational area around the lake that citizens are happy to get close to.

The Dacheng Lake District, which has a good life and is optimistic about the future, will not only be the largest urban park in Taiwan, but also the most beautiful urban Senhu Ecological Park in Taiwan.
