Located in Yongjing Township, Changhua's Chengmei Cultural Park blends historical architecture with the aesthetics of a Japanese garden. It's known as "Taiwan's version of Kenrokuen Garden" and "Flatland Jiaming Lake." The park, spanning 10 hectares, centers around the century-old Chengmei Hall, showcasing the fusion of Fujian and Hakka architectural styles and the historical memories of the Wei family.
One of the park's most popular attractions is the Bald Cypress Avenue, which is best viewed from November to January. The bald cypress trees gradually transform from emerald green to golden and orange, creating a dreamy seasonal wonderland. The trail runs alongside the lake, where sunlight filters through the pine needles, creating picturesque reflections on the water's surface. It's a popular spot for photography enthusiasts.
The park's "Heyuan" features a Japanese dry landscape design, with ponds, a lover's bridge, and century-old red sandalwood and black pine trees, creating a tranquil and Zen atmosphere. The park also features a variety of spaces, including a Happiness Hall, a sea of floating umbrellas, and a Six Arts exhibition room. Holiday tours and DIY activities for families are also available.
