Banqiao Agricultural Park Introduction
Banshankou Rural Park is located at the intersection of Wenhua Road and Shuangshi Road, established by the Banshankou Farmers' Association in 1989. It covers an area of approximately 8,400 square meters and is the first park in Taiwan themed around the rural landscape and scenery of the early post-war period. The park features five areas, including a reconstructed traditional three-section compound, Changchun Garden, a folk opera stage, eight rural landscapes, and a health trail. There is also a Fude Temple, and the indoor exhibition hall displays items from the early agricultural society, such as a large kitchen stove, a grandmother's hall, wooden bedroom furniture, and plowing tools. Outdoor, there are statues of ducks and chicks placed by the pond and under trees, creating a strong rural atmosphere. With the rapid development of the city, the rural landscape and traditional three-section compounds have gradually disappeared. Fast-developing Banshankou is also a nostalgic place, particularly for creating leisure parks focused on rural scenery amid the bustling metropolitan area, allowing today's "urban bumpkins" to learn about past lifestyles. Near the main entrance of the park, there is a long corridor and a stage where many elderly people enjoy gathering to play chess and chat, while the stage periodically screens old films or performs Taiwanese opera, immersing visitors in beautiful memories of the past.
