Taichung City Government's Construction Bureau has come up with a new idea, interactive signs. These have now been placed in Taichung Park, and should they prove effective, more of them would be established.

These interactive signs have been placed around various types of trees in Taichung Park. They are shaped like large dossiers, which can be opened from the top. A question is written in Chinese and English on the front, and the answer can be found on the other side, where the name of the tree, its species and characteristics are explained in detail.

The Construction Bureau expressed that most citizens only know about some more common trees such as the Bayan trees and Pine trees, but not much about other species of trees. These interactive signs will not only satisfy everyone's curiosity, it will also bring more knowledge about nature to the people of Taichung.
