Since ancient time, it is an isolated land of purity. Due to the topography and monsoon, Yilan is one of few counties with rain in all seasons. This made it more than 50 lakes in the county and paradise for water plant. Take well-know Suanglianpi as instance, in the lake, there are plants of 202 species of 80 families, and in categories of water plant it is top of Taiwan wetlands. However, due to change in natural environment and human error, some precious and rare species are either disappeared or are disappearing. Fortunately, we have Mister Chiu Jin-Ho and his voluntary follower sacrificing off-hours in protection and restoration. In the way of interpretation, experiencing and building ecology pond to gradually bring water plants into campus and into the public life. In addition to extend the new life of water plants, they demonstrated the genuine meaning of Yilan, the County of Environmental Protection.
