Taipei Travel

Rongxing Garden Park is favoured by dog-walkers, Their pooches must be on leash and their masters pick up their droppings. Ronxing is an unusually large park for downtown Taipei and it has many features, including an indoor swimming pool and basketball court. There is a children's playground and enough room to kick a ball. In the morning, elderly people can be seen performing tai-chi. One unusual feature is the eco-pond, which is intended to improve biological diversity.

There are too many cockroaches at this park. It gets worse every year. Not sure if it bothers other runners or not but I have been jogging at different parks and have not seen a park that has so many cockroaches and especially they all can fly. Hope the park administration can improve this.

I was staying near this wonderful park, which is beautifully landscaped and has different areas for activities. There are many shady areas of seating under majestic and very old trees. There is a childrens' play area, flat sections for groups of people to line dance to music for exercise, exercise equipment for adults, lots of seating for rest, toilet facilities. A few blocks north is a morning market called Binjiang, for housewives and chefs, who shop for foods early, as it closes by noon. The park also sits next to Minquan Road, a major street that leads to the second airport called Songshan. This park is also great for people walking their dogs as there are many walkways.

Dogs are welcome on leash, just as long as their masters pick up after them. This is a big park, with lots of features. The gardens are very pleasant, and their is walkway over the water feature. There are several restrooms, although the swimming pool did not appear to be in use. Rongxing Garden Park was one of Taipei's first large parks. By the way, there were several elderly couples dancing today, not something you see often these days.

Medium sized park in Taipei . Good to take a break with kids as there is a large playground here. A lot of life with people running and doing Qi gong
