The city government has used ecological engineering to revitalize Neigou Creek and restore the local ecosystem. The area has been transformed into a lush, vibrant space filled with greenery, insect sounds, and birdsong. A scenic walking trail now runs along the creek, allowing visitors to enjoy the natural beauty. Alongside the natural charm, the creekside also features a cultural gem that is worth visiting: the Wufen Upper Creek Mosaic.

Stretching for 200 meters, this mosaic captures the essence of the past. As you admire this grand artwork, you can imagine the daily lives of farmers from a century ago—spring plowing, summer weeding, autumn harvesting, and winter storage. The mosaic also depicts coal being transported along Wufen Suspension Bridge to Nangang. 

Artist Sung-tao Yen, who made his debut as a comic artist, disappeared from the scene for ten years. On making a comeback, he turned to oil painting to depict Taiwan’s rural landscapes. This mosaic, created by Yen on a voluntary basis, took extensive research and several revisions. He spent six months developing the base design, which was then passed on to students from Neihu Community College, Donghu Junior High School, and the University of Kang Ning. Working together, these students added color to the mosaic, thus completing this collective effort.
