Rafizi River Gateway Waterfront Corridor Introduction
The Zhaizi River is located between the Taichung High-Speed Rail line and National Highway No. 74, serving as an international façade for Taichung. When approaching Taichung via the high-speed train and looking out the window, the landmark indicates that you have arrived in Taichung. The Zhaizi River's left bank stretches from Yongchun East Road to the Wuri High-Speed Rail Station, featuring the "Zhaizi River Welcoming Corridor," which is 1.8 kilometers long and combines riverside scenery with waterfront spaces, along with a prominent 3D sign reading "TAICHUNG," welcoming visitors to the city. The left bank of the Zhaizi River from Yongchun East Road to Taichung High-Speed Rail Station covers about 6 hectares of high land, incorporating existing river gravel for landscape art with stone cages, riverside walking paths, and the 3D sign, which has become a popular photo spot. This development considers flood control, ecology, culture, and aesthetics, creating a world-class welcoming river that significantly enhances the comfort of the local waterfront environment while providing an accessible ecological education space for the public. It establishes a healthy leisure corridor in the Greater Taichung area, making it a must-visit destination in Taichung. The Zhaizi River serves not only as the gateway river of Taichung but also showcases the rich ecological resources of the waterway, displaying different appearances at sunrise, sunset, and night. Citizens are welcome to enjoy the diverse riverside scenery at the Zhaizi River.
