Daxi Puding Park Introduction
Located in the Puding redevelopment area and about 4 kilometers away from Daxi Old Street, Daxi Puding Park is a beautiful backyard for locals. Covering an area of 5.5 hectares, it is nearly the size of Beitou Park in Taipei, featuring a vast forest and neatly arranged trees, along with a refreshing green area that contrasts sharply with the bustling atmosphere of the old street! The park is divided into two main sections by the Taipei-Chungli Expressway, and visitors can enter through the entrance on Park 5th Street, where they are welcomed by a large arched retro stone wall that exudes a timeless quality reminiscent of ancient European city walls. The brightly colored bougainvillea nearby resembles clusters of colorful hydrangeas, and butterflies flutter about, inviting visitors into this leisurely garden. Both sides of the park have designated recreational areas, equipped with slides and rocking horses for children, as well as fitness equipment like pull-up bars and balance bikes, providing ample facilities. Enjoying aerobic exercise surrounded by greenery is much more comfortable than working out in an indoor gym! The entire area is laid with soft mats, and wooden tables and chairs are provided for parents to closely watch their kids, enhancing outdoor play safety. An aerial bridge connecting both sides of the park allows for a view of the bustling traffic on the expressway, and at night, the twinkling car lights create a rare sense of tranquility amidst the noise. After crossing the aerial bridge, the park expands further, with tree-lined boulevards featuring blackboard trees, pond cypress, maple, casuarina trees, and more, along with vast grassy areas, creating an endless expanse of greenery that rivals beautiful landscapes abroad! Visitors can often be seen walking, cycling, or flying kites, and families having picnics on the hillsides. If lucky, one might even encounter couples taking wedding photos. The layered shade of trees filters out the harsh sunlight, softly casting a refreshing ambiance during the midsummer. Daxi Puding Park has also hosted large cultural events such as the indigenous Harvest Festival of Daxi District and the Taoyuan Arts Tour, making it a cultural base that combines recreation and landscape within Taoyuan.
