Chien Cheng Circle Introduction
In the development history of the old city area of Taipei, "Jiancheng Circle" plays an important role. Its establishment back then was like the heart of the Dadaocheng bustling area, located at the convergence point of four roads: Chongqing North Road, Nanjing West Road, Ningxia Road, and Tianshui Road. It not only spurred local business prosperity, expanding into the surrounding old Jiancheng area, but also served as a cradle for many successful entrepreneurs. Through various historical changes, from the discovery of the Dadaocheng Circle air-raid water reservoir relic during the foundation excavation of the reconstruction project in 2002, to the culinary memories many have of Jiancheng Circle. Today, Jiancheng Circle has transformed into an urban oasis. In addition to preserving the original ancient well, it will feature a fountain for relaxation and an urban shaded plaza, combined with four public art pieces donated by a foundation to commemorate the past and look to the future. This allows busy citizens to engage with art, enhance their physical and mental well-being, increase cultural dialogues with other citizens, and provide a space for relaxation, play, remembrance, and reflection, contributing to the prosperity and development of the western district.
