Bridge & Water Feature
On the weekend, you can see some of the Taiwanese people relaxing or playing Mahjong (Chinese: má jiàng), families taking a walk, people having a picnic, pet owners walking their dog or people jogging. Kaohsiung’s Central Park is a great place to get some tranquility, peace and calm away from the shops and restaurants. The landscape is beautifully presented and well looked after. However, by Western standards this park is quite small. You could probably walk across the park in 10 minutes in any direction.
Central Park
Just outside the park there is a rental bike self-service stand. You are able to rent one out very cheaply to ride around the park. While your here, take a look inside Central Park Station. The design is impressive and worth a look.
