Zhiben Water Park Introduction
Zhiben Aqueduct Riverside Park is developed by the Taitung Irrigation Association utilizing its affiliated aqueduct in Taitung County. The aqueduct intake was originally built during the Japanese colonial period. Before the left bank embankment was improved, this area was chaotic and remote, sharply contrasting with the beautiful scenery of the nearby luxury hotels. After implementing ecological landscaping, visitors can enjoy a nostalgic experience. This landscaping project spans approximately 1.4 hectares, with lush greenery and abundant flowers throughout the park. It features amenities such as healthy walking trails, leisure pavilions, and viewing pavilions. The park also includes small bridges, flowing water, peculiar rocks of various sizes, and waterwheels, creating a beautifully scenic environment. Visitors can climb up to the viewing pavilion to admire the lovely views of the Zhiben hot spring hotel area and the Zhiben River estuary, or take leisurely strolls along the healthy walking trails to enjoy a forest bath. From April to July each year, one can witness the spectacular sight of swallows soaring and chirping in the sky, creating a picturesque scene. The water of the Zhiben aqueduct flows continually throughout the year, crystal clear and cold, accompanied by gentle breezes that provide a refreshing experience. To enhance the visitors' experience in Zhiben Aqueduct Riverside Park, the Taitung Irrigation Association has not only set up signs at the Zhiben Bridge with stone pillars inscribed with "Zhiben Aqueduct Riverside Park," but has also added numerous public facilities, hoping that tourists will come to explore and immerse themselves in the beautiful and romantic scenery.
