Dongshan River Water Park Introduction
The Dongshan River Water Park, which combines water and greenery, is located along the Dongshan River. The stunning view of the bright red, arc-shaped Lizejian Bridge against the backdrop of blue skies and green fields is the impression many have of the Dongshan River Water Park, drawing numerous families to relax and have fun. Here, the philosophy of "getting close to water and nature" is visible everywhere. The areas where land meets water are mostly designed as stepped platforms that gradually immerse in the water, or land extends into the water with gentle slopes. From the central stage in the theater, visitors can gaze towards the sea, where a water stage and five conical pebble hills are directly facing the neck of Guishan Island, inadvertently introducing the natural landmarks of Lanyang into the park. According to ancient legend, the Dongshan River is protected by the Azure Dragon and the Yellow Dragon, thus the riverbank features a dragon slope made of pebbles that undulates and curves, adorned with blue, green, yellow, and orange ceramic tiles. The steps of the dragon slope are decorated with interesting mosaic artworks created by children from Yilan. The well-planned park is divided into three major areas, allowing visitors of all ages to enjoy "water play". The boating area can be used for practicing dragon boat racing and Western-style rowing, and visitors can also take a small boat to relish the romantic scenery of water reflecting the sky. The wading area has varying depths that only reach the ankles, and you can see many adults holding children's hands as they wade through the water to cool off. The large white stones and crescent-shaped small stone walls in the pool carry symbolic meanings: the small stone walls represent the bamboo fences used in duck farming, while the large white stones illustrate ducks swimming in the water, depicting the traditional duck-raising families of Yilan. There’s also a water play area beloved by children, which includes a swimming pool, a physical fitness pool, and a river journey. In summer, it's perfect to come in your swimsuit and have a splashing good time! Moreover, the design of the pool is inspired by the winding shape of the Lanyang River, ensuring surprises at every turn in Dongshan River Water Park. When visiting Dongshan River Water Park, consider cycling along the river to take in the beautiful landscapes of Dongshan River, or have a crazy day playing in the water under the sky, or enjoy a leisurely stroll along the riverside to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle. You can also visit during the annual Dragon Boat Festival races or the International Children's Play Festival. No matter how you choose to enjoy your time, Dongshan River Water Park will definitely leave you satisfied!
