A Great Place for Bookworms and Visitors Alike

Hele Plaza was the former site of Tainan’s Chinatown and was once one of Tainan’s most important commercial districts. It was later demolished and converted into a water park and opened on March 7, 2020. It is the largest water plaza in downtown Tainan and was praised by Forbes Magazine as one of the "seven most anticipated parks in the world".

Xinying Railway Scenic Park takes the story of Taisugar Railway as the main centerpiece of its revitalization and development. By reinterpreting the characteristic sceneries of Sinying Railway Station, with the many rail tracks converging on the station through a series of connections, continuations and stitching of railway tracks, the spatial sequence of the park is thus formed. There are also all kinds of switches, carriers, and signal stations between the tracks, which imply the time and space flow of the industrial development and changes of the place.

Dalongtian Cultural and Ecological Park is a forest park planned and constructed by the Guantian District Office. The park occupies an area of more than 9 hectares, with about 1,300 banyan trees, mahogany trees, mango trees, etc. growing in abundance. In addition to the dense foliage, the park also preserves the remains of the original military barracks. The Park is less than 300 meters from the Longtian Station, making it suitable for walking and relaxing.

As the gateway to Yujing District, the Jiaobanian Memorial Park is located at the intersection of the Provincial Highway No. 20 and the Expressway No. 84. The tablet-erecting place was the battlefield where the Japanese colonial government slaughtered anti-Japanese activists. Integrating the local specialty mango, the Yujing District Office has made the landmark of the park in the form of a huge Irwin mango, making it the best logo of the district.

The Liuchong Riverbank Park is located at the confluence of the Sanchong River, the Liuchong River, and Jiuchong River. Through the concerted remediation effort of the Baihe District Office, it is the most complete natural riverbank park. When visiting to the Liuchong Riverbank Park, visitors should not miss the Liuchongxi community. With well preservation of considerable plain indigenous culture, there are lots of artefacts, both Han and plain indigenous artefacts. The Liuchong River has abundant water, thus attracting plain indigenous people to settle in site.

Furongpi (Furong Pond) in Changan Community, Huobi District, was a pond of the Lins’ family residence. It was originally a fengsui (geomancy) pond that was abandoned and filled with industrial sludge. After the remediation of community residents with ecological methods, the pond has become a beautiful facility. Currently, there is a floating structure in the pond for growing aquatic plants, turning the pond into a water purification weland for ecological education.

When the Army moved out of the Changsheng Barracks it left behind many stories about military training and historic barrack room buildings. The green tree tunnel in particular was actually a military installation for providing cover to tanks in the early years.  The original plans for re-development would have damaged the tunnel ecology so the city government modified the urban development plan to preserve this patch of beautiful forest in northern Tainan. Today, Changsheng Barracks Green Tree Tunnel is a shaded boulevard lined by fig trees forming a rare U-shaped green tunnel.
