Residents in the Taipei area actually have a more convenient and great option: head to the riverside parks for fun and sightseeing. It’s close by and you don’t have to worry about traffic jams, all while easily enjoying thousands of square meters of green space. The Water Resources Department says that during the Spring Festival, the flower seas planted in the riverside parks, including Rainbow, Chengmei Left and Right Banks (Rainbow Bridge), Yanping, and Daonan, have all reached full bloom, making it the best time for viewing and photography. A trip to the riverside parks lets you enjoy flowers, exercise, leisure, and fun all in one go.

In addition to flower seas, the riverside parks also feature many scenic spots perfect for viewing and photography. For example, the wedding dress installation art at Guting Riverside Park, paired with blue skies and green lawns, gives you a taste of “romance” without having to go abroad to Paris; Taipei is just as romantic. Additionally, around the Rainbow Bridge near Raohe Street, there is a series of romantic love-themed installations such as love locks and 3D letter art featuring “LOVE” and “IOU,” making it a sweet spot for couples to take a stroll and warm up their relationship during the Spring Festival holiday.

For families looking to spend a day connecting with nature, Huazhong Camping Site is the top urban choice. Those worried about sleeping in tents can opt for campervans. Spend the evening chatting under the campfire and starlight with friends and family, then wake up to the chirping of birds in the morning for a relaxing and stress-relieving experience.

The Taipei City Water Resources Department also recommends that those interested in humanities, history, flora, and fauna plan a bike ride along the Yanping Riverside Park bike path. You can enter from the Dadaocheng Evacuation Gate to explore the historic buildings around “Old Taipei” Dihua Street.
