Wu Garden, Traditional garden in West Central District, Taiwan
Wu Garden is a traditional garden in West Central District featuring stone pathways that encircle a central pond alongside native plantings and classical architectural elements. The layout combines open water areas with shaded zones that offer different views and experiences throughout the space.
The garden emerged in 1828 as a private residential space, marking the start of structured landscape development in the area. The original water features and stone arrangements have persisted through the centuries.
The garden reflects classical Taiwanese design principles where water and rocks create miniature representations of natural landscapes. These elements shape how visitors experience and move through the space today.
The garden is open daily and situated near major transportation routes, making it easy to reach. Wear comfortable shoes since the stone pathways can be uneven and most exploration happens while walking along the paths.
Some stone blocks throughout the garden date back to the 1800s and display hand-carved details that reveal original construction methods. These details are easy to miss but tell much about the craftsmanship of early builders.
