Li-Chi Nine-Bend Bridge Introduction
Formerly known as Hsinchu Park, it is located on Pillow Mountain between the city area and Shih Tsan Mountain, covering an area of 190,000 square meters. It was established in 1916 and was affected by artillery fire during World War II, but was extensively renovated after the restoration of Taiwan. The park features towering pines and cypress trees, with a beautiful lake known as Li Lake, which is surrounded by a winding bridge and pavilions, creating an exquisite scene. After exiting the park and walking along Park Road to Dongda Road, a left turn at the intersection in front of the military police station leads to the zoo, while a right turn leads to the Confucius Temple. Li Lake, true to its name, is a beautiful and enchanting retreat. Surrounded by lush flowers and greenery, with ancient trees towering nearby, the lake is home to koi fish swimming about, and swans gracefully gliding on the surface, creating a serene atmosphere that refreshes the heart and mind. Li Lake is situated on Park Road, adjacent to the zoo, and is stocked with koi, mallards, black swans, and rare mandarin ducks, adding vibrancy to the water. The air is filled with the fragrance of maple, and spending a leisurely afternoon here amidst the tall ancient trees and surrounding greenery is a delightful experience.
