Shanzijiao Park Introduction
The Shanjia area, originally named "Shanzijiao," dates back to the Qing Dynasty when it was part of the Haishan Fort Shanzijiao Village. The name "Shanzijiao" comes from its proximity to the foothills of Guilun Mountain. During the Japanese occupation, "Shanzijiao" was changed to "Shanzikiao," and after the retrocession, it was renamed "Shanjia." Shanzijiao Park is located next to the Administrative Affairs Office of Shulin District, along the Dujiao River, covering an area of approximately 2,600 square meters. A wooden boardwalk has been built along the riverbank for visitors to admire the small fish in the stream. In the evening, people can sit by the river to enjoy the sunset, making it a great place for recreational activities in the Shanjia area. In recent years, the population in the Shulin Shanjia area has increased, prompting the government to plan the development of public idle land along the Dujiao River to create a linear Shanzijiao Park. The park includes nearly 200 meters of wooden boardwalks, connecting the century-old Shanjia Railway Station and the culturally vibrant Hakka Arts and Culture Center, making it an ideal spot to visit on weekends.
