The cool autumn breeze is refreshing. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, and this year, the three consecutive days off may lead to heavy traffic congestion between northern and southern Taiwan. To help citizens avoid traffic and enjoy the moon nearby, the Taipei City Government’s Department of Public Works, Bureau of Parks and Street Lights has carefully selected 31 recommended moon-gazing spots. These locations make it convenient for families to go out together and admire the bright moon, saving time and promoting energy conservation.

The bureau stated that the 31 moon-friendly parks include hillside-type parks such as Fuzhou Mountain Park and Yangmingshan Park, which are rich in forest and mountain charm. From their observation decks, visitors can enjoy the coolness of autumn, stargaze, and admire the moon. Other spots include Nangang Park and Dahu Park, which offer expansive views of green mountains, sparkling lakes, egrets flying overhead, reflections on arched bridges, and picturesque lake-and-mountain scenery. There’s also Bi Lake Park with its winding mountain paths and mirror-like lakeside trails surrounded by lush flowers and trees. Tianmu Park, nestled beside Huangsi Creek, is great for moon viewing, while Zhishan Park features a circular wooden boardwalk where you can gaze at the moon high above and take in the Taipei night scenery. Youth Park, Meiti Park, and Da’an Forest Park, with their vast lawns, let you listen to the wind, watch the rustling leaves dance, hear frogs and insects chirping… and enjoy the cool scent of fresh grass. All are great choices.

To ensure public safety and preserve the beauty of the parks, the bureau also calls on citizens to cooperate by not setting off firecrackers, having barbecues, or littering in the parks. During the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday period, the bureau will maintain management without interruption and deploy additional staff for enhanced patrols to keep the parks clean. They aim to ensure the premises remain tidy at all times, providing a high-quality environment for moon appreciation.
