Taipei attractions: ancient buildings, elegant pavilions, huge ponds, and beautiful retreats

#Taipei Attractions

As soon as you enter the park, you will see the towering three-level pavilion-style entrance archway, which has an antique design and extraordinary style, adding the finishing touch to the entire park. As we go further inward, we see many exquisite and elegant traditional buildings, such as pavilions and covered bridges, which are dotted among the ponds and paths in the garden, complementing each other.

What attracted my attention most was the only ancient three-story pavilion left in the garden. Although it has gone through a hundred years of wind and rain, the regulations and layout of the building itself are still intact, retaining the style of the traditional courtyard. The pavilions and halls are magnificent, and the tops are decorated with exquisite painted wood carvings, exuding a strong ancient charm everywhere.

What attracted me most in the park was the huge pond covering more than 20 hectares. The surface of the pond is calm, reflecting the scattered pavilions and woods around it, like a slowly unfolding landscape painting. We simply rented a small boat to explore the pond and experience the poetic natural scenery of the park. Occasionally, you can see fish poking out of the water, which is very lively and interesting.

Through this park tour, I not only appreciated Taipei’s unique traditional architectural culture, but also experienced the beautiful environment of the entire park, which made me linger. This is definitely a delightful escape in the city.
