Xinsheng Green River Waterfront Corridor Introduction
The Xinsheng Bridge over the Luyuan River prioritizes water quality and flood prevention, breaking away from traditional riverside landscape improvement methods. It aims to create an ecological habitat that integrates low-impact development, shaping the image of the new riverside gateway of Taichung Railway Station. The Luyuan riverside focuses on themes of nature and arts, incorporating public art and water elements to create a diverse, creative artistic space while blending various Southeast Asian cultural influences. It connects historical buildings like Miyahara Ophthalmology and Zhongshan Green Bridge, and the remnants of the Sakura Bridge, to create a culturally rich riverside landscape, shaping a humanistic riverside atmosphere. Remembering the former green shade along the riverside, it features native Taiwanese tree species and hanging plants to present a unique waterway space, building a new shaded trail along the Luyuan River. Visitors can also explore the Luyuan Water Culture and Environmental Education Center, which displays the history related to the Luyuan River, documentary screenings, old photographs, and surrounding models, allowing the public to gain a deeper understanding of the Luyuan River.
