Tonghua Park Introduction
The Tucheng District Office in New Taipei City established Tung Hua Park in 2004, covering an area of seven hectares to promote healthy ecological tourism. Located on the slope of Tian Shang Mountain, the highest peak in Tucheng, Tung Hua Park is situated in a valley formed by Nan Tian Mu Mountain and Huo Yan Mountain, with a winding wooden walkway along the Shih Bi Lao Creek. This multifunctional recreational park features various facilities including an outdoor performance area with seating, a charcoal kiln exhibition area, a tea resting platform, a viewing platform overlooking Tucheng urban area, a triangular suspension bridge for children to play, a three-dimensional climbing net, and a firefly rehabilitation area, making it a versatile leisure park. The romantic Tung Hua Park is home to nearly one hundred tung trees and mountain cherry blossoms. Every spring and early summer, when the tung flowers bloom, visitors can stroll along the scenic pathways to enjoy the stunning view of the white flowers resembling snow. It’s common to see tourists arranging the collected tung flower petals into heart shapes, creating a very romantic atmosphere. In recent years, ecological restoration efforts have been successful, and at night, fireflies can be seen dancing, allowing people to momentarily forget the hustle and bustle and immerse themselves in the embrace of nature.
