Daxi Puding Park Introduction
Located in the Pudding Redevelopment Zone and about 4 kilometers from Daxi Old Street, Daxi Pudding Park is a beautiful backyard for locals. Covering an area of 5.5 hectares, it is nearly the size of Beitou Park in Taipei, with vast expanses of tree canopy, neatly arranged trees, and refreshing green spaces, creating a stark contrast to the bustling atmosphere of the old street! The park is divided into two main sections by the Introduction of National Highway No. 2. Entering from the closer entrance on Park Five Street, visitors are greeted by a large arched vintage stone wall that radiates a timeless quality reminiscent of ancient European city walls. Beside it, the vibrant bougainvilleas bloom like colorful hydrangeas, often accompanied by fluttering butterflies, welcoming visitors to this leisurely garden. Both sides of the park feature recreational sports areas, equipped with slides and rocking horses for children, as well as fitness equipment like pull-up bars and slide walkers. The facilities are quite comprehensive. Enjoying aerobic breathing in the embrace of greenery is much more comfortable than in an indoor gym! The entire area is laid with soft mats, and wooden tables and chairs are provided nearby for parents to closely watch their children, thoughtfully enhancing outdoor safety. The aerial bridge connecting both sides of the park offers a bird's-eye view of the flowing traffic on National Highway No. 2, with car lights intertwining and shimmering at night, where the tranquility outside the bustle provides a rare little joy. After crossing the aerial bridge, the park expands further, with tree-lined avenues planted with blackboard trees, cypress, maple trees, Araucaria, small leaf olive trees, and coral trees, complemented by vast grassy areas, creating an endless sea of greenery that rivals scenes abroad! The park often sees people walking, cycling, or flying kites, and families setting up picnic mats on a small hill. If lucky, one might even encounter newlyweds having their wedding photos taken. The layered tree canopies filter the scorching sunlight, softly sprinkling refreshing breezes of midsummer. Daxi Pudding Park has hosted large-scale cultural activities such as the Daxi Indigenous Peoples' Harvest Festival and the Taoyuan Arts Tour, serving as a cultural base in Taoyuan that blends recreation and landscape.
