After its renovation, it has become the first scenic riverside developed with sustainable ecological engineering methods in the urban area. The scenery is pleasant during the day and the lights are dazzling at night, making it a popular new attraction in Taichung. It is not only a great place for Instagram photos but also a living river that combines aesthetics with water storage and irrigation functions.

Liuchuan Riverside Walkway Introduction

During the day, Liuchuan presents a leisurely atmosphere with its clear water, allowing visitors to appreciate the koi up close, making it perfect for family outings and nature walks. At night, Liuchuan exudes a romantic ambiance. Walking under the sparkling lights, one can admire the shimmering willows and the art installations of swans, making it not only a great spot for night photography but also an ideal place for couples to take evening strolls. Liuchuan is a river that breathes; its enlarged banks are transformed into gentle slopes, aiding in drainage and permeability. Through infiltration and evaporation, it alleviates the load of stormwater runoff on the drainage system. Below the riverbank, water catchment basins are installed to absorb moisture, storing water for irrigation purposes. Additionally, permeable drainage pipes (HDPE pipes) are laid beneath the riverbed to adjust water sources between dry and wet seasons, creating a sponge-like elastic space for water absorption. In terms of water quality and ecology, the water source of Liuchuan has been significantly improved after being treated at the Chung Hua Water Purification Plant, reducing its pollution from severe to mild. Along the riverbank, 37 tree saplings have been relocated and 38 new water willows planted to preserve the essence of Liuchuan, alongside 159 native tree species such as willows, Formosan sweetgum, and wax apples, providing diverse scenery throughout the year at Liuchuan.
