#Zhikaxuanlu Forest Water Park-Ji'an Township, Hualien County

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 I once brought my children to Zhikaxuan Water Park during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. At that time, the water facilities were still under construction so that parents from Hualien and other counties and cities in Taiwan could bring their babies to Zhikaxuan to spend a happy summer vacation in early July. Zhikaxuan may also be the only free water park in Taiwan. It includes a children's pool, wave pool, paddling pool, ground fountain, water column SPA, water slide, swimming pool and many other facilities. Although the water park's water play facilities are only open during the two months of summer vacation, they often attract many tourists to come and play in the water, filling the entire pool with people. Afterwards, I promised the kids that I would bring them to Hualien to play in the water again in August. During this three-day trip to Hualien, I took the kids to Zhikaxuan to play in the water for two days. Although "Bear Crane" is free, they can charge a cleaning fee of 50 to 100 yuan. I think many parents will still agree to this because the Hualien County Government does not have a lot of funding. Although there is no entrance fee, they still employ many lifeguards on site to maintain the safety of tourists and do not slack off at all. The Hualien County Government is really kind-hearted♥. This also shows their determination and dedication to tourism. In addition to Hualien locals, there are actually many people from all over Taiwan, as can be seen from the parking permits on the windshields of cars on the roadside. In addition to water facilities, the Zhikaxuan Water Park also has lush flowers, trees and beautiful landscapes. There are eight major areas in the park, including the "native plant area", "aquatic plant area" and "green square area". The gate of Zhikaxuan Water Park is shaped like a fairy tale castle. There is also a castle-shaped toilet on the left side of the gate, which is very beautiful. There are also slides, physical fitness facilities, mazes and other children's amusement facilities. If mom and dad have time, they can bring their children to the parent-child park to play. I guarantee that your children will not want to go home after having fun. (20190608)
