Nankan River flows through three major areas: Guishan, Taoyuan, and Luzhu. Along the riverside, six waterfront parks offer residents the delightful experience of enjoying water and greenery without traveling far, embodying the lifestyle of enjoying a vibrant life to the fullest. ■ Guishan First Riverside Park – Beside Tongxin 2nd Road, Guishan District Surrounded by lush green grass and gentle streams, the park features multiple sports courts, a children's play area, and an elderly recreation zone, ideal for families to enjoy together. Exhibited within are decommissioned military weapons—tanks, fighters, anti-aircraft cannons, and ship anchors—reminiscent of a small military history museum. The creatively designed Star and Crescent Bridge with its blue arches adds a distinctive charm to the park. The dazzling light sculptures further enhance the romantic, ever-changing ambiance at night. ■ Taoyuan First Riverside Park – Along the right bank of Nankan River from Chenggong Bridge down to Tianzhuo Bridge Highlights include a large heart-shaped ball, Happy Plaza, a giant red LOVE installation, four-leaf clover pavilions, heart lock pathways, and the steel-structured Qingxi Rainbow Bridge. At dusk, vibrant light projections transform the waterfront into a popular romantic date haven. ■ Huichi Riverside Park – Near Sanyuan Street and Tianzhuo Bridge, Taoyuan District Designed with grassy fields, green belts, jogging paths, and bike lanes, the riverside allows visitors to enjoy outdoor activities while reconnecting with nature. The observation deck provides panoramic views of the waterfront's rich biodiversity. ■ Pet Demonstration Park – Beside Minguang East Road, Taoyuan District Tailored for pets, the park features climbing frames, tire obstacles, and balancing beams. Cleaning stations, dog waste disposal bins (with plastic bags), and a safe environment ensure a hygienic and convenient space for both pets and their owners. Although compact at 0.3 hectares, it is neatly designed and complete—a prime destination for pet walks. ■ Jingguo Environmental Conservation Park – Beside Jingguo Road, Taoyuan District Lush tree shades and walking paths make this park an oasis for urban relaxation. The pet-specific play area includes toy tires and ramps, accompanied by drinking facilities and cleaning zones, catering to all needs of visitors. ■ Guangming Riverside Park – Along Guangming 2nd Road, Luzhu District Covering approximately 21,000 square meters, the park boasts basketball courts and fitness equipment suitable for all ages as a local hub for sports and recreation. Expansive emerald lawns, paired with 30 Fuji cherry trees, create a captivating pink-green landscape each winter to early spring, enhancing the serene riverside charm.
