The wetland extends to Mount Banping and Zuoying Station of High Speed Rail in the northeast and to Lotus Pond (Lianchih Pond) and Huantan Road in the west. It is also adjacent to Cuihua Road in the west and Jhouzai East Street in the north.

The water of the wetland mainly comes from the Lotus Pond and natural precipitation. Tsao Gong Canal is the water source of the Lotus Pond. The wetland, the Lotus Pond, the Native Botanical Garden, Mount Banping and Gueishan have formed an ecological corridor. The mission of this wetland is to conserve Pheasant-tailed Jacanas, which has become the symbol of the ecological conservation and restoration effort. The aim is to help the return to and breeding of the endangered species in its original habitat through human intervention.

The dominant bird species in the wetland include Chinese bulbul, nightingale and common moorhen. There are also endemic subspecies, including house swift, black-naped monarch and tawny-flanked prinia and two endemic species, Muller’s barbet and streak-breasted scimitar babbler.
Surveys on insects are focused on Lepidoptera (butterfly) and odonata. The number of the protected species Troides aeacus has increased in recent years.
Through artificial cultivation or introduction of horticultural and landscaping plants, arbors and shrubs, which need minimum management, are the two major plants in the vegetation.
