The worst part of traveling during the Lunar New Year? Traffic jams and crowds. Why not take a relaxing stroll or bike ride through the riverside parks and enjoy the flower seas? The Water Resources Bureau of Taipei City Government’s Public Works Department recommends six riverside parks that offer a stress-free experience full of activities — exercise, leisure, fun, and even enrichment. Make the most of your Lunar New Year holiday and explore the beauty of Taipei together.

For photos during the New Year holiday, Gu Ting Riverside Park comes highly recommended. It features a vast expanse of vibrant flowers as well as artistic installations — beautiful backdrops for beautiful moods, ensuring great photos no matter how you shoot. No need to fly to Paris for a “romantic” getaway; Taipei has its own charm too. Rainbow Bridge Riverside Park, with its love-themed design, offers a series of romantic installations such as love locks and 3D letter art featuring “LOVE” and “IOU,” creating a perfect ambiance for couples to take a sweet stroll hand-in-hand.

If you’re tired of hotel stays during the Lunar New Year, consider a family camping trip to Huazhong Riverside Park. Wake up to the chirping of birds — it’s surprisingly refreshing. The park has a campfire party area where you can chat and share precious, irreplaceable memories with friends and family under the firelight and starlight. Dajia Riverside Park is also recommended; it’s close to the “Yuanshan Station” on the Taipei Metro Tamsui-Xinyi Line, making it convenient to visit the Flower Expo Museum, Taipei Story House, and the Taipei Fine Arts Museum.
