Shanzijiao Park Introduction
The Shanjia area was originally named "Shanzijiao" and can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty when it belonged to the Haishan Fort Shanzijiao Township. "Shanzijiao" gets its name from its proximity to the foothills of Guilun Mountain. During the Japanese rule, "Shanzijiao" was changed to "Shanzikiao," and after the retrocession, it was renamed "Shanjia." Shanzijiao Park is located next to the District Land Office in the Shulin District, along the Lujiao River, covering approximately 2,600 square meters. Wooden plank walkways are built along the riverbank for people to enjoy the small fish in the stream. In the evening, visitors can sit by the bank to watch the sunset, making it a great place for leisure activities in the Shanjia area. In recent years, the population in Shulin and Shanjia has increased, leading the government to plan for the public idle land along the Lujiao River to be developed into a linear Shanzijiao Park. Nearly 200 meters of wooden boardwalks connect the century-old Shanjia Train Station and the culturally rich Hakka Arts and Cultural Center, making it a suitable place to visit on weekends.
