Zhiben Aquatic Park Introduction
Zhiben Canal Riverside Park is developed by the Taitung Agricultural Irrigation Association utilizing the affiliated irrigation canal in Taitung County. The entrance to the canal was originally constructed during the Japanese colonial period. Before the improvement of the left bank embankment, this area was chaotic and desolate, in stark contrast to the beautiful scenery of the nearby tourist hotels. After the implementation of ecological landscaping techniques, visitors can enjoy a nostalgic experience when they come here. This landscaping project covers an area of approximately 1.4 hectares, featuring lush greenery with trees and flowers, a healthy pathway, leisure pavilions, and viewing pavilions. It also includes decorative elements such as small bridges, flowing water, various stones, and waterwheels, creating a remarkably beautiful scenery. You can climb up the viewing pavilion to appreciate the stunning views of the Zhiben Hot Spring Resort Area and the mouth of the Zhiben River, or take a leisurely stroll along the healthy pathway to enjoy a forest bath. From April to July each year, you can witness the spectacular sight of swallows flying and chirping in the sky, making it feel like you are in a beautiful painting. The water in Zhiben Canal flows continuously throughout the year, clear and cool, accompanied by a gentle breeze that provides a refreshing sensation. To allow visitors to fully enjoy the scenery at Zhiben Canal Riverside Park, the Taitung Agricultural Irrigation Association has set up signs at the entrance of Zhiben Bridge, along with stone pillars engraved with the name "Zhiben Canal Riverside Park," and has gradually added many public facilities, hoping that tourists will come to explore and immerse themselves in the beautiful and romantic scenery.
