Liuchuan is one of the four important rivers in downtown Taichung. After restoration, it has become the city's first scenic riverside developed using sustainable ecological engineering, offering pleasant views during the day and sparkling lights at night. It has become a new popular attraction in Taichung, not only a great place for IG photo ops but also a "breathing" river that combines aesthetics with water storage and irrigation functions.

Liuchuan Riverside Scenic Walkway Introduction

During the day, Liuchuan presents a leisurely atmosphere, with clear water that allows for close-up views of koi fish, making it very suitable for family outings and outdoor activities. In the evening, Liuchuan is filled with a romantic ambiance, where walking under the dazzling lights and admiring the shimmering willows and artistic swans not only makes it a great place for night photography, but also perfect for couples to take a stroll. Liuchuan is a river that "breathes," with its banks widened and sloped to facilitate drainage and permeability, helping to reduce the burden on the drainage system during heavy rainfall through infiltration and evaporation. Below the riverbanks, water collection devices are installed to absorb moisture, storing water for irrigation. Permeable drainage pipes (HDPE pipes) are set up below the riverbed to adjust water sources between dry and wet seasons, creating a sponge-like elastic space that absorbs water. To balance water quality and ecology, the water source of Liuchuan is diverted from upstream sewage and sent to the Chung Hua Water Quality Purification Plant for treatment, resulting in a significant improvement from severe pollution to mild pollution. Along the riverbanks, 37 trees have been transplanted, and 38 willows have been newly planted to retain the character of Liuchuan, along with a total of 159 native trees in Taiwan, including tassel trees, Taiwanese wax trees, and others, ensuring that Liuchuan presents different scenery throughout the year.
