About Taichung Park
What to See & Do
Huxin Pavilion
The park's iconic red pavilion sitting on the lake - it's surprisingly photogenic, especially when the light hits it just right in the late afternoon
Artificial Lake
A peaceful spot where you can rent paddle boats or just sit by the water watching the surprisingly large population of fish and turtles
Taiwan Pavilion
A traditional Chinese-style structure that often hosts small cultural exhibitions and gives decent views over the park
Historic Trees
Some genuinely impressive old specimens, including massive banyan trees that provide welcome shade and have clearly been here for decades
Walking Paths
Well-maintained trails that wind around the lake and through different sections - perfect for an easy morning or evening stroll
