Jinshi Cultural Park Introduction
Jinxiu Villa Cultural Park is located in Wayao (Kan) Pit, Tamsui, covering an area of over 2,000 ping. The park features lush green grass, blooming flowers, and majestic trees. The owner has dedicated 32 years to carefully building a perfect combination of rare stone carvings and the original landscape. Pavilions, ponds, earth caves, stone steps, poetry and calligraphy, Buddhist and lion statues, all blend ancient and modern aesthetics, creating a serene and elegant atmosphere. It serves as an open-air museum that combines craftsmanship, natural ecology, and recreational leisure. Wayo (Kan) Pit was once a famous brick kiln site in Tamsui, which gradually faded away with the passage of time. The mysterious Jinxiu Villa Cultural Park, located in Wayo Pit, was originally a hillside, and still retains the ancient artillery base and tunnels from the Japanese occupation period. Through careful planning and construction by the owner, different materials and existing structures have been perfectly integrated to form the current landscape of the villa. The garden features designs including pavilions, ponds, viewing platforms, streams, gardening, paths, and fields. It also adorns the park with personal collections of Buddhist statues, stone lions, and stone crafts. In 2021, after Mr. Zhuang Wunan's two to three decades of development, Jinxiu Villa Cultural Park officially transformed into a cultural park, with a grand opening ceremony held on April 17. The park features a sophisticated two-story exhibition space suitable for displaying both flat and three-dimensional exhibits. The chairman of the villa dedicated the first exhibition of the opening to the members of the Craftsmen Association he leads, allowing these national treasures, local artisans, and members with remarkable craft achievements to witness the results of their enduring efforts over the years. In the future, the park will also open to the public, sharing the beauty of pavilions, unique garden stones, stream paths, and various themed cultural exhibitions during festive events, allowing beauty to permeate every corner of the villa and providing visitors with tranquility and a cultural feast to appreciate.
