Jinxiuzhuang Cultural Park Introduction
Jinxiuzhuang Cultural Park is located in Tamsui's Wayaokeng, covering an area of over 2,000 ping (about 6,600 square meters). The park is lush with greenery, flowers in bloom, and majestic trees. The owner has devoted 32 years to constructing a perfect blend of rare stone carvings and the original landscape. With pavilions, ponds, earth caves, stone stairways, poetry and calligraphy, Buddha statues, and lion sculptures, the park exudes a tranquil and ancient charm, serving as an open-air museum that combines the aesthetics of craftsmanship, natural ecology, and recreational leisure. Wayaokeng was once a famous brick kiln area in Tamsui, which gradually faded away due to the passage of time. This mysterious estate in Wayaokeng was once a hilly area and still holds remnants of an ancient gunnery base and tunnels from the Japanese occupation. Through careful and detailed planning by the owner, diverse materials and the original constructions have perfectly merged to create the estate's current scenic beauty. The landscape design includes pavilions, ponds, observation platforms, streams, gardens, pathways, and farmlands. Additionally, various Buddha statues, stone lions, and stone crafts collected by the owner adorn the park. In 2021, after 20 to 30 years of continuous construction led by Mr. Zhuang Wunian, Jinxiuzhuang Cultural Park officially transformed into a cultural park, with a grand opening ceremony held on April 17. The park features a two-story exquisite exhibition venue suitable for displaying both flat and three-dimensional exhibits. The first exhibition was dedicated to the members of the artisan association led by the park's chairman, allowing these living treasures, local craftsmanship registrants, and extraordinary artisans to witness the fruits of their persistent efforts over the years. In the future, the park will also open for visits, sharing its pavilions, unique stones, stream pathways, and more with the public. The park will organize various themed cultural exhibitions along with seasonal festivities, allowing beauty to spread throughout every corner of the estate, enabling all visitors to experience tranquility and beauty as they savor the cultural feast.
