Yangmingshan Has a New Attraction Spotting cherry blossoms in Yangmingshan just got even better thanks to Zhenzaitou Stream, nestled within a small alley off Pingjing Street in Pingzheng Village. While many visitors flock to the area to admire the blooms, few notice this unassuming lane hides a beautiful and crystal-clear stream. Originally renovated in 1997 for flood control purposes, the aging infrastructure has now been revitalized by Taipei City Government’s Department of Civil Engineering. The upgrade incorporates elements of local ecology, rural culture, and the iconic cherry blossoms along Pingjing Street Lane 42. Visitors are encouraged to take a family trip during the holidays to this new Yangmingshan hidden gem—the Zhenzaitou Natural Park—to enjoy the classic scenery of countryside streams and immerse themselves in the rich ecological and cultural environment nurtured by the waterway.

Located in Lane 67 of Pingjing Street in Pingzheng Village, Zhenzaitou Stream integrates local characteristics by utilizing space under the bridge to showcase the art of the Qiaowanran Puppet Theater Troupe, as well as the musical creations of local composers and performances from community drama groups, enriching the area with diverse cultural expressions.

Cherry blossoms and ancient canals are the first impressions people have of Shilin’s Pingzheng Village, but most are unaware that the small alleys here preserve the natural countryside scenery by the stream.Stepping into Zhenzaitou Stream feels like traveling back in time to an old rural life. The traditional dragon bone waterwheel by the stream lets visitors experience firsthand the hard work of drawing water in the countryside. Benches along the reflective Zen walking path offer spots to sit and rest, gaze up at the blue sky and greenery, and watch the bridges and flowing water—all helping you feel refreshed, temporarily forget daily worries, and fully embrace nature's tranquility.
