Guishan First Riverside Park Introduction
Cities are beautiful because of water. Originating from Guishan, the Nankang River has been improved over time, resulting in clear water that attracts many water birds. The riverside green spaces flowing through the city are picturesque, featuring well-maintained bike lanes and pedestrian paths. Whether cycling to enjoy the riverside scenery or walking with pets, it offers a very comfortable and relaxed environment. Taichung Riverside Park, located near the Lugong Village, features the Meihua Plaza at its entrance, which is designed with a five-petal plum blossom as a canopy, reflecting the community's spirit of love for home, country, and community, and serves as part of the preservation of military village culture. Additionally, there are several decommissioned military weapons on display, including the F-5F fighter jet, the M41A3 light tank, and the US-made M1 40mm anti-aircraft guns, allowing military enthusiasts to view them up close and giving the public a better understanding of these weapons. No visit to Taichung Riverside Park would be complete without seeing the Xingyue Bridge, which features a water-blue curved structure resembling a roller coaster and stands out brilliantly against the blue sky. At night, it is illuminated with colorful lights, creating a romantic atmosphere, offering different experiences in the day and at night. Furthermore, the park features children's play equipment, as well as facilities for skating, basketball, tennis, and croquet, along with recreational areas for seniors, catering to the leisure needs of every age group.
