History and beauty interwoven with mountains and rivers #Wen Tianxiang Park - Xiulin Township, Hualien County

#AugustDestinations2025
Taroko's Tianxiang area is a key resting spot on the Central Cross-Island Highway. It boasts not only magnificent canyon scenery but also a rich tapestry of history and culture. Among its many attractions, Wen Tianxiang Park, with its unique historical background and tranquil atmosphere, offers a perfect place for travelers to pause and recharge their batteries. After the Central Cross-Island Highway opened to traffic, a statue of Wen Tianxiang was erected at the site to commemorate the Southern Song Dynasty national hero and celebrate his indomitable spirit. The area was named "Tianxiang." Wen Tianxiang Park is built along the mountainside, with stone steps connecting three platforms: upper, middle, and lower. The Wen Tianxiang statue, located on the second platform, stands majestically as a reminder of this historical figure's loyalty and integrity. The "Song of Righteousness" wall, engraved on the marble wall behind the statue, features Wen Tianxiang's timeless masterpiece, "Song of Righteousness." A careful reading of this poem allows one to truly appreciate Wen Tianxiang's righteous spirit, as he recounted the poem, "Reading under the eaves, reading a book, reflecting the colors of the ancient road." The park's tranquil, tree-lined environment contrasts sharply with the majestic Taroko Gorge. After exploring the busy Taroko area, find a bench to relax, enjoy the gentle breeze, listen to the birdsong, and unwind. Wen Tianxiang Park is not only a place to commemorate historical figures, but also a place that combines natural beauty with cultural significance.
