Li-Chi Nine-Bend Bridge Introduction
Formerly known as Hsinchu Park, it is located on Pillow Mountain midway between the city and Shibajian Mountain, covering an area of 190,000 square meters. It was established in 1916 and suffered damage from artillery during World War II. After the restoration, the park was greatly improved. Within the park, there are tall pines and cypress trees, with blooming flowers and lush greenery, creating a stunning scene with the beautiful Li Pond and its gentle waves, arched bridges, and green pavilions. Exiting the park and continuing along Park Road to the East Avenue, you can turn left at the junction in front of the Military Police base to reach the Zoo, or turn right to arrive at the Confucius Temple. Li Pond, true to its name, is a beautiful and enchanting retreat. Surrounded by blooming flowers and lush woods, the pond is home to koi swimming gracefully, while swans glide on the water, presenting an elegant ambiance that brings peace and joy to the heart. Li Pond is located on Park Road, adjacent to the Zoo, and it is stocked with koi, mallards, black swans, and rare Mandarin ducks, adding vibrancy to the pond's colors. With ancient towering trees and shaded greenery around the pond, the air is filled with the fragrance of maple leaves, making it a delight to enjoy a leisurely half-day amidst this idyllic setting.
