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 Lunar New Year, 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 and are 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.

Besides the flower seas, the riverside parks also feature many scenic installations perfect for sightseeing and photography. For example, the wedding dress installation art at Guting Riverside Park, set against blue skies and green lawns, gives you a taste of “romance” without having to go abroad to Paris—Taipei can be 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 with words like LOVE and IOU. Couples can take a stroll here during the Lunar New Year holiday to add sweetness to their relationship.

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

The Taipei City Water Resources Department also recommends that those interested in humanities, history, flora, and fauna plan a cycling trip 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.
