Sheng Tian Park Introduction
The Tranquil and Elegant Floral Paradise is located between Magang and Jinsha Village, Sheng Tian Park is situated on the western slope of Yuntai Mountain, adjacent to the Chushui Harbor Reservoir, covering an area of over ten hectares. It is planned along a coastal military road and represents the seaside parks of the Matsu region. Next to the Chushui Harbor Reservoir stands the Tang-style pavilion - Sheng Tian Pavilion, built by the stationed troops in 1990, mainly referencing the architectural style of the Taipei Wulai Shuangxi's Zhishan Garden, adopting a Song Dynasty garden design style with a wooden frame and gray ceramic tiles on the roof, integrating the mountain and sea scenery, showcasing a rustic and elegant beauty. Later, due to insect damage to the wooden structure, it partially collapsed, but the Matsu Management Office restored it to its original appearance in 2004, giving it new life, nestled under the lush greenery, reminiscent of a Jiangnan garden, rich in artistic charm. From the dam bridge, one can enjoy the panoramic views of the mountains and sea, with pathways descending to the coastline. Within Sheng Tian Park, there is a section of Formosan sweet gum forest, and diverse native Matsu plant species thrive among the jungle. The winding old pavilion corridor and the uplifted pavilion ridge create a picturesque setting; every late winter to early spring, as new leaf buds emerge, the red leaves of the sweet gum add splashes of color to the entire forest. Surrounded by ancient pines and away from the hustle and bustle, climbing the stone steps is filled with the aesthetic of "finding peace in the mountains." When night falls, one can also count the stars in the sky and listen to the waves crashing, immersing in a poetic and picturesque atmosphere.
