Raft River Gateway Riverside Walkway Introduction
The Fazi River, located between the Taichung High-Speed Rail line and the No. 74 Expressway, serves as Taichung's international facade. As you approach Taichung by high-speed rail, you will recognize the landmark from the window, signaling your arrival. The section of the Fazi River from Yongchun East Road to the Wuri High-Speed Rail Station features a left bank high terrace that boasts a 1.8-kilometer promenade with riverside views and water-friendly spaces, known as the "Fazi River Welcome Corridor." A prominent three-dimensional text landmark reading "TAICHUNG" has been installed here to greet visitors. The approximately 6-hectare high terrace on the left bank of the Fazi River, from Yongchun East Road to the Taichung High-Speed Rail Station, is equipped with gabion landscape art made from existing river gravel, a waterfront walking path, and three-dimensional text landmarks, among other facilities. The three-dimensional text landmark "TAICHUNG" has become a popular photo spot. While considering flood control, ecology, culture, and scenery, an international-level welcoming river has been created, significantly enhancing the local waterfront environment's comfort and providing an easily accessible ecological education space for the public. This has developed a healthy and leisurely corridor in the greater Taichung area, making it a must-visit for anyone coming to Taichung. The Fazi River not only serves as the gateway river of Taichung but also showcases the rich ecological resources of the river, displaying different appearances at sunrise, sunset, and night. Citizens are welcome to enjoy the diverse riverside scenery at the Fazi River.
