Still some open parts of the channel existing

Before Leo Kong channel system covered almost whole Taipei, but nowadays it´s more or less filled, so as the part we are focusing on. However, there are few spots, where channel is still open. Those parts are mainly just tributaries, but from pictures below you can get some picture how it was before. During our field study in Taipei we are also going to explore these sites in addition to the part we are planning to open. This gives us some picture and idea of the main channel which is underground below roads and that´s why quite difficult to explore. Pictures are taken from google maps street view.

 Open parts of channel are illustrated with blue colour and main channel with red.
