To make the water-friendly staircases along the Erchong Floodway in New Taipei City more vibrant and engaging, the Water Resources Bureau incorporated creative inspirations from renowned artists such as Van Gogh and Monet during the initial design phase of the staircase murals, fully integrating local elements. With highly dynamic and playful compositions, the murals were beautifully painted onto the water-friendly staircases, transforming the originally cold concrete steps into the most eye-catching feature of the surrounding environment. As people walk up and down the stairs, their faces light up with satisfied and amazed smiles, radiating a sense of local happiness.

To provide more water-friendly activity spaces for the public, the Water Resources Bureau, in conjunction with the management of high-level riverbanks along the waterways, has planned over 1,300 hectares of water-friendly green spaces for public use. Currently, to enhance the overall ambiance and approachability of various high-level bank areas, the mural themes have been expanded even further, incorporating diverse artistic styles such as pop art, sketches, realism, abstract art, and kuso (parody) designs, offering the public a fresh visual feast. Since the completion of the mural-covered staircases, they have been widely loved by residents, with many gathering to take photos and the sound of check-ins echoing throughout the area.
