公園綠地

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.

The giant yellow ribbon that twists and loops like a roller coaster through the air will grab your attention even before you reach Yingxi Lake. The “Yellow Ribbon” is a ultra-large steel sculpture commissioned by the Southern Taiwan Science Park for welcoming visitors. It measures 400 meters in length, has a width of 33 meters and is 12 meters high.

Waterview Bridge in Historic Waterview Park enjoys excellent views. The open expanse of the park means visitors can admire the lagoon and harbor views from the bridge. The highest point of the bridge offers sweeping views over the whole of Aping and Anping’s famed sunsets. There are wonderful views to be seen at dawn or dusk. Remnants of old sewer works indicate that the area was once connected to the ancient salt trading route and Anping Harbor, clear evidence that the history of Anping is inextricably bound up with the sailing culture.

Fucheng (府城), Lugang (鹿港), Manka (艋舺) and Yuejin (月津) are the best highlights of Yanshui town, which used to be the fourth biggest city in Taiwan. Each year, the lantern festival attracts large numbers of tourists, all eager to receive the beehive baptism of fireworks.
The Yuejin Lantern Festival, held from 2012, raised the profile of Yuejin Harbor Water Park (月津港親水公園), and the crowds during the festival have turned it into a major Spring Festival event in Taiwan.

The Road was created by Taiwan literature enthusiast Mr. Lin Ming-kun(林明堃). He dreamed of a home for Taiwanese poetry where people could learn about its beauty. He made more than 90 well-known Taiwanese poems into pottery pieces and inlaid them in a red brick wall.

As Tainan has a warm climate and every season is like spring, it’s hard to see a mountainside covered in red maple leaves in winter. However, such scenes can be enjoyed at Hongye Park(紅葉公園) in Guanziling. At this higher elevation where the temperatures are lower, the leaves of deciduous trees turn from green to red. The romantic scene of Hongye Park filled with yellow and red can be seen usually in late December and the park is a must-visit place for many winter tourists. Walking through the maple trees after enjoying a hot spring bath is very romantic.

Baihe(白河)’s lotus fields can be seen all over the district. However, to see a host of lotuses in one place, Lotus Park(蓮花公園) is the place to for. The park has trails and other facilities, including a car park and toilets, making a visit very convenient. Visitors are presented with a magnificent sea of lotuses. When a breeze comes, the entire lotus field rises and falls gently like waves on the sea. The best place to view the lotuses is from the pavilion at the center of Lotus Pond.
