Daxi Pudong Park Introduction
Located in the Pudong Redevelopment Area and about 4 kilometers from Daxi Old Street, Daxi Pudong Park is a stunning backyard for locals. The park covers an area of 5.5 hectares, which is nearly equivalent to Beitou Park in Taipei City, featuring a vast forest with neatly arranged trees and refreshing green spaces, offering a stark contrast to the lively atmosphere of the old street! The park is divided into two main sections by National Highway No. 2, with the entrance near Park No. 5. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a large arched retro stone wall that exudes a timeless quality reminiscent of ancient European city walls, alongside vibrant Lagerstroemia flowers that resemble colorful hydrangeas, often accompanied by fluttering butterflies welcoming guests to this leisurely garden. On both sides of the park, there are recreational sports areas equipped with facilities for children such as slides and rocking horses, as well as fitness equipment like pull-up bars and balance trainers. The amenities are quite comprehensive. Enjoying aerobic exercise under the lush greenery is far more comfortable than being in an indoor gym! The entire area is paved with soft mats, and wooden tables and chairs are set up nearby for parents to watch their children closely, enhancing the safety of outdoor play. The pedestrian bridge that connects both sides of the park offers a bird's eye view of the flowing traffic on National Highway No. 2, with the shimmering lights of cars intertwining at night, creating a rare and tranquil little happiness amidst the hustle and bustle. After crossing the bridge, the park's interior expands even further, with tree-lined avenues planted with blackboard trees, bald cypress, maple trees, Araucaria, small-leaved olive trees, and tamarind trees, along with vast grassy areas forming an endless sea of lush greenery—its beauty rivals that of foreign landscapes! In the park, one can often see people walking, cycling, or flying kites, and families spreading picnic mats on the hillside for a delightful outing. If you're lucky, you might even encounter newlyweds having their wedding photos taken. The layered shade from the trees filters the intense sunlight, gently casting coolness in the midsummer heat. Daxi Pudong Park has hosted large cultural events such as the Indigenous Peoples' Harvest Festival in Daxi District and the Taoyuan Arts Tour, serving as a cultural base that combines recreation and landscape within Taoyuan.
