Chiayi Park, East District, Chiayi City, Taiwán
The park was established in the 43rd year of Meiji Reign Period during the Japanese colonial period in the name of “Chiayi Park.” The name was once changed to “Zhongshan Park” after the KMT government arrived at Taiwan, but was reinstated in 1997.
Chiayi Park is located in the suburban area of the east Chiayi City. It was first developed along the hilltop landscape. Later, vacant lands to its east and west were included into the park and bridges were constructed and roads built. The park’s current measure of area is over 268,000 square meters with tall old trees, waterside pavilions and houses on the terrace, fish ponds rockery decorations, and winding pathways that lead to secluded corners in the park. The design of the park makes good use of the original natural landscape of the area to create tasteful scenery and a free and unfettered ambiance.
