Zhuzihu Riverside Park Introduction

One of the famous landscape parks in Chiayi County is the first waterfront park along the banks of the Puzi River. The water park is located next to the Zhuqi Bridge along Provincial Highway 3, adjacent to the Puzi River, covering nearly 4 hectares. The park features a diverse range of ecosystems, landscapes, and recreational facilities. The bamboo garden area houses over 80 precious bamboo species from both domestic and international sources, making it unique in the country. Zhuqi Waterfront Park is designed with various areas including an art plaza, water activity facilities area, multifunctional lawn area, riverside walkway area, pebble play area, step plaza, and shaded walking area. Vehicle entry is prohibited within the park, allowing visitors to enjoy their leisure time without disturbance from traffic noise. This multifunctional waterfront park not only allows people to get close to the Puzi River but also provides activities such as water observation, fishing, birdwatching, enjoying the scenery, playing frisbee, flying kites, and playing croquet. Additionally, a static display features the old train engine No. 32 of the forest railway for people to appreciate, making it suitable for families of all ages to visit. At the entrance of the park, more than ten Chinese trumpet creepers are planted, a tropical plant native to Central and South America, also known as the yellow-flowered bell tree or the golden trumpet tree. When the flowers bloom, it appears as if the brilliant sun is shining down, hence it is also called the sun tree. Every March, as spring arrives, all the leaves fall off the tree, and it bursts into beautiful yellow flowers, attracting the attention of passersby and serving as a floral indicator of spring's arrival. After the Chinese trumpet creepers bloom, it coincides with the cherry blossom season on Alishan. From mid-March to early April each year, Yoshino cherries, Yaezakura cherries, peony cherries, fortune cherries, and Guanzhong cherries bloom on Alishan, creating a dreamlike scenery. In addition, flowers such as Formosan azaleas, camellias, foxgloves, and one-leaf orchids accompany, allowing visitors to arrange day trips or longer stays to fully experience the beauty of spring in Chiayi and Alishan.
