Shanzijiao Park Introduction
The Shanjia area, originally named "Shanzijiao," traces back to the Qing Dynasty when it belonged to the Haishan Fortress Shanzijiao Village. "Shanzijiao" got its name due to its proximity to the foothills of the Gui Lun Mountain. During the Japanese occupation, it was changed from "Shanzijiao" to "Shanzikiao," and after the retrocession, it was renamed "Shanjia." Shanzijiao Park is located next to the Shulin District Land Office, following the path of the Lujiao River, covering an area of approximately 2,600 square meters. A wooden boardwalk has been built along the riverbank for visitors to appreciate the small fish in the stream, and in the evening, it offers a great spot to sit by the river and watch the sunset, making it an excellent place for leisure activities in the Shanjia area. In recent years, the population in the Shulin Shanjia area has increased, leading the government to plan the vacant public land along the Lujiao River to construct a linear Shanzijiao Park, featuring nearly 200 meters of boardwalk that connects the century-old Shanjia Railway Station and the culturally rich Hakka Arts and Cultural Center, making it a suitable place to visit on weekends.
