Rongxing Garden Park Introduction
Rongxing Garden Park is located in the Zhongshan District, situated in the city center, bordered by Longjiang Street to the east, Jianguo North Road to the west, Minquan East Road to the south, and Wuchang Street to the north. The park has a rectangular shape, covering a total area of 6.5 hectares. It was built by private citizens in 1968 and completed in August 1989 as a public park for public use. The park underwent three phases of renovation from 2001 to 2006, preserving features such as the bougainvillea flower corridor favored for wedding photography, the Liugong Stream natural wetland ecological pool, a water performance stage, and a shaded square for morning and evening use. It provides spaces for dancing and practicing tai chi at different times, a sunny grass lawn in the northeast, a maple wood path, leisure garden paths, a scenic lotus pond, a wooden boardwalk, a children's play area, a basketball court, a red-brick running track, a uniquely designed management service center, three comfortable restrooms, and pavilions for activities such as chess and conversation, creating excellent recreational and activity spaces. In recent years, with a focus on ecology, cooperation among local leaders, residents, and experts has led to the restoration of fireflies in the ecological pool, and the ongoing ecological surveys and environmental improvement plans have been implemented. Currently, there is a stable population of fireflies, making it one of the rare places in Taipei City where one can observe fireflies.
