Hsinchu Park

Hsinchu Park is a large green space with walking paths, gardens, and a central lake framed by Japanese-style structures and seasonal plantings. The layout includes water features, planted areas, and trees that have stood for over a century.

The park was founded in the early 1900s during Japanese rule and shaped during that era. A comprehensive renovation in 2017 modernized the infrastructure while keeping historic structures and older trees intact.

The park follows Japanese garden traditions with a teahouse situated beside the lake, where visitors experience the layout through walking and gathering in planted areas. Local people use the space for quiet moments and informal meetings among the water features.

The area has paved paths for comfortable walking, restrooms, and play areas for different ages. Nearby attractions like the Glass Museum make it easy to visit multiple sites in one trip.

Water in the park cascades downward and reaches a lily pond with a natural structure that often goes unnoticed by visitors. This water system was carefully integrated with older structures that have defined the site for over a century.
