Riverbanks aren’t just for cycling – they’ve transformed into a water park now too. The “2017 Crescent Slide Festival” will take place from August 12 (Saturday) to August 20 (Sunday), every day from 3 PM to 8 PM, for nine consecutive days at the bicycle towing path at the Xinzhuang end of the Crescent Bridge and the Crescent Plaza beneath the bridge. In addition to featuring Taiwan’s first-ever large-scale water slide set up along the Crescent Bridge’s bicycle towing path, the Crescent Plaza also offers six major water attractions including a mist maze, a family splash pool, and water sports.
