Tainan Park

Tainan Park

Tainan park is located in the Northern District of Tainan City, Taiwan. It was opened in 1917, the sixth year of the Japanese occupation. It is the oldest and largest park in the city. Covering an area of more than 40000 Ping (15a), it was also a tropical experimental forest at that time. After the war, it was renamed Zhongshan Park, and now it has been restored to Tainan park.

evolution

In the Qing Dynasty, it is located to the west of the north gate of Taiwan's Fu City, to the east of the general town's standard office, and to the north of the north wall of Zhengcheng city. Yan Tan, the source of Wenyuan River, is here. It is said that the pool comes from the shape of Yan, and that there are many swallows nearby. In the past, villages along the inland sea of the Taijiang river could transport goods from wenyuanxi to the government for sale. As a result, a market was formed near dabeimen, known as "shizaitou". When the market broke up in the afternoon, it became a place for tourists to linger. In the Daoguang period, after the inland sea of the Taijiang river became land-based, wenyuanxi could no longer be navigable, so Yantan became a pure scenic spot. At that time, in the north of Yantan, there was a high platform for the execution of autumn sentence criminals, and there were many old trees beside the pool, which were equivalent to the road trees leading from the Great North gate to liaonei and liujiading. The place is full of tourists all year round, especially on the moon night of the Mid Autumn Festival.

After the Japanese occupation, the site was slightly repaired. In December of the first year of Taicheng (1912), the Tainan hall raised 90000 yuan from the local gentry, and with 80000 yuan allocated by the governor's office of Taiwan, the park was built on the trapezoidal land from the north of Beiyuan to Tainan middle school (now Tainan No.2 Middle School), to huangtiller Temple in the East, and to the standard office of the former general town in the West. As a tropical experimental forest, there are many tree species in the park. The park was completed in 1917 and officially opened on June 17. In 1934, chongwenfang was moved to the park from the original site in front of the present Tainan police station.

After World War II, the park changed its name to Zhongshan Park, and a curved bridge was built in Yantan. In 1974, the Tainan Municipal Library moved from the old one behind Wu Yuan to the one in today's Park. On June 15, 1997, Phoenix cultural and Historical Association held the 80th anniversary of the opening of Tainan park. Although the park was still called "Zhongshan Park" at that time, the activity used the original name of "Tainan Park". After this activity, in 2001, Tainan Municipal government also changed the original name of the park. In 2005, Tainan city passed the "Regulations on the protection of precious trees in Tainan City" and cooperated with Tainan Community University to investigate the old trees in Tainan City. In Tainan Park, there are more than 800 large and small trees, and about 160 species of trees and shrubs. Among these trees, 26 species and 78 were designated as "precious old trees" by Tainan Municipal Government on September 6, 2007.

Park expansion

The former Army Ordnance accessories factory is separated by park road. It has been a military important site since the Qing Dynasty and is located on the west side of Tainan park. After the military moved, the land was planned and reused. After the review of the urban plan, most of the land will be used as park land, and Tainan park will be expanded. In 2005, the 243rd meeting of Tainan Urban Planning Committee deliberated the fifth case "the overall review of the change of the urban planning (main plan) of the Northern District of Tainan City"

"Guanshe group of the former second Japanese infantry regiment in the ordnance accessories factory of the old army" (No. 3-3): 1.07 square meters in the medium density residential area was changed to gu66, and 1.07 square meters in the historic preservation area. The land number of the former guanshe group of the second Japanese infantry regiment was announced by the municipal government, and the urban plan was changed to "land" in accordance with Articles 34 and 35 of the Cultural Assets Preservation Law Military ordnance accessories factory "(no.4-4): 1.54 square meters in medium density residential area and 0.21 square meters in commercial area are changed to 1.75 square meters in sightseeing art and culture commercial area, which will cooperate with the future national library to set up sightseeing art and culture commercial area. Provide business needs such as tourism, arts and culture. "Army Ordnance accessories factory" (no.5-5, no.5-6): the medium density residential area is 4.39 square meters, and the commercial area is 0.17 square meters, which is changed to 66 square meters, with an area of 4.56 square meters. The Army Ordnance accessories factory has no military demand. The base is large and complete, and is located next to Tainan park. In order to improve the living standards of citizens, provide public recreation places and connect Tainan Park, it is changed to a park The ground. The medium density residential area is 1.60 square meters, the commercial area is 0.40 square meters, and the government land is changed to 2.00 square meters. The government land is changed for the use of the National Library.

The City Council formally decided that:

In line with the "urban planning public facilities multi-objective use method", the multi-objective use project of the park land level is amended and the library is added. Therefore, the part of the office land in this case is amended to change the park land, so as to maintain the integrity of the park and take into account the use needs of the library.

The commercial area along the street between the historic preservation area on the north side of the base and Zhongyi road will be cancelled to keep the park land facing three streets.

Considering the financial balance of the Ministry of Defense's land reform, the southwest side of the park area is revised to a commercial area along the street, with an area of one square meter.
