Taichung Park 台中公園

A perfect integration of nature in the urban area of Taiwan's 3rd biggest city

The famous Hu Xin Pavilion (also Zhong Zheng Pavilion or Sun-Moon Pavilion).

Taichung Park, also known as Zhongshan (or Chungshan) Park 中山公园 is over 100 years old. It was established in the 19th century during the rule of the Qing dynasty and further developed by the Japanese at the beginning of the 20th century, by adding beautiful pavilions, which became a symbol of Taichung (source).

I really like this park and I had the chance to see it twice. The second time was recently and I had enough time to walk around and take many lovely photos. I really like all the pavilions, but most delightful is the area around the lake with the red wooden bridge. That's my favorite spot. Let me share some photos with you.

You can also compare this park with the famous 228 Peace Memorial Park in Taipei.
