Jiaobanshan Park

Jiaobanshan park is located in Fuxing District of Taoyuan County, about 636 meters above sea level, close to the upper reaches of Dahan River, and 18 kilometers away from Taoyuan County, the starting point of beiheng highway. The climate here is mild, and the mountains are listed, the valleys are lingering, the bell is graceful, and the momentum is extraordinary. It is known as "Taiwan Lushan". The first thing you can see in the park is the emerald arch connected with branches. These are the two banyan trees planted by Chiang Kai Shek and his wife. There are ancient trees everywhere for three days, flowers and trees are sparse, green shade covers the sky, and the air is fresh and pleasant.

essential information

Jiaoban mountain is located in the North Cross Highway Renaissance area, with an altitude of 636 meters. It has a pleasant climate all the year round and is known as "Taiwan Lushan". The river terrace is formed at the bend of the river, which is called Xikou terrace. There are two Chiang Kai Shek's pavilions here, which are now open to tourists.

The scenic spot of Jiaobanshan hotel covers an area of 6 hectares. There are sparse trees, plum blossoms and sidewalk pavilions in the park. There are 12 sculptures of art masters from all over the world in the park, which add a lot of artistic flavor to the park. The best scenery is "Siqin Pavilion", which is located in the south corner of the scenic spot. When Chiang Kai Shek died in 1975, he often stopped here from Cihu during Chiang Ching Kuo's funeral The pavilion was named "Siqin Pavilion" because of the publication of "Meitai Siqin". In the basement of the hotel, there is a "mysterious refuge tunnel", 80 meters long, 4 meters wide and 3 meters high. It was used as an emergency refuge for Chiang Kai Shek. The tunnel wall is painted with the totem of Taiya flavor, which has become one of the attractions attracting tourists.

Original name

Its place name has a long history and was handed down by Liu Ming, governor of Taiwan in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, Liu Mingchuan came here for inspection, and found that the terrain was as flat as a plank, but there were prominent peaks around it, such as horns, so he called it "Jiaoban mountain", which was also the source of the old place name of Fuxing township.

Fuxing township of Taoyuan County is famous for Jiaobanshan park. Fuxing is the main station of beiheng highway, and also the location of Xiangzhi. Fuxing, formerly known as "Jiaoban mountain", is said to be the 12th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1886) when Liu Mingchuan, governor of Taiwan, opened the mountain to Fufan. At this point, we can see that the mountain peaks are protruding like horns and the river terraces are flat like plates, so it is named "Jiaoban mountain". Jiaobanshan, known as pyasan by the Taiya people, refers to "the place where goods are traded". I checked the Taiwan literature of Qing Dynasty, but I didn't find the place name of "Jiaoban mountain", which was called "Jiaban mountain" in the literature at that time. The meaning of "splint" is different from that of "angle board". "Splint" has the meaning of "wrapping and pressing". At that time, the Qing army stationed troops at the top of Jiaban mountain.

Another theory holds that the name "Jiaoban" originated from the Japanese occupation. After the Japanese conquered the local Taiya people, they changed the place name to "foot board mountain", which means "foot pedal", which is quite contemptuous. The facts are not known. At the time of Taiwan's recovery, Fuxing township was named Jiaoban Township, Taoyuan County. It was renamed Fuxing Township in 1954. "Corner board" becomes "revival", and is endowed with a new significance of the times.

geographical environment

Jiaoban mountain is located in the upper reaches of the Dahan River in the southeast of Daxi Town, with an altitude of 636 meters. It belongs to Fuxing Township, Taoyuan County. It has a mild climate all the year round and enjoys the reputation of "Taiwan Lushan". It is surrounded by mountains from north to south, Li Dongshan and zhentoushan. The air is fresh and elegant, and the momentum is extraordinary.

Customs and culture

It used to be the settlement place of the Taiya people, an ancient tribe, once distributed in 50 villages of Fuxing township. Traditionally, they mainly hunt, weave and cultivate. Therefore, their daily utensils, tattoos, traditional costumes, weaving and patterns, rattan weaving, carving, music and dance can be seen everywhere in the image shops of Fuxing township.

Landscape features

Jiaobanshan park is also known as "Fuxing Park". It covers a large area in the south of Jiaobanshan. When you enter the park, the first thing you see is the emerald arch connected with branches. These are the two banyan trees planted by Chiang Kai Shek and his wife. Everywhere, ancient trees are towering, flowers and trees are sparse, the sky is covered with green shade, and the air is fresh and pleasant. Looking for plum with corner board is one of the eight sceneries in Taoyuan. The most striking feature is that plum trees are all over the place. In the flowering season, it is a quiet and elegant sea of flowers, which is fascinating. In late autumn, maple red sets off the green forest and embellishes the park with unique style.

A corner of the park

There are stone steps in one corner of the park to reach the Bank of the Dahan River, and there is a suspension bridge to connect the Xikou terrace on the other side. The appearance of the platform is a four step terrain, surrounded by a forest of peaks in the valley, and the Dahan river winding on the side. From the stone steps, you can have a panoramic view of the mountains and waters. On the right side of the park is the former President Jiang Gongxing hall. Its furnishings maintain the original appearance. On the left side, Panasonic overlooks the canyon scenery and Xikou valley. There is a mysterious tunnel in the hotel, which was the battle command post in the cave. It is open for the public to visit. People who like to take risks may as well go there.

Looking for plum

"Looking for plum at the corner" is one of the eight sceneries in the peach garden. The plum forest is the most striking feature. In the flowering season, there is a quiet and elegant sea of flowers, which is fascinating. In late autumn, maple red sets off the green forest and embellishes the park with unique style.

Jiang Gongxing Mansion

On the right side of the park is the former "President" - Jiang Gongxing hall. Its furnishings maintain the original appearance for the public to visit. On the left side, Panasonic overlooks the canyon scenery, Xikou Valley, and also visits the mysterious tunnel. It was the battle command post in the cave at that time.

Now, Jiaobanshan has made use of the original landscape, combined with the cultural characteristics of the Taiya people, and agricultural products such as mushrooms, and unified planning into a "Jiaobanshan image business district". Entering the community from the North Cross bend, all the way is the Taiya totem, and there are neat shop signs. At the end of the main road is the Jiaobanshan park. In front of the park is the national salvation League activity center, and on the right side of the activity center is Jiang Gongxing hall.

Homesick Pavilion

The best scenic spot in the park is "Siqin Pavilion", which is located in the south corner of the hotel scenic area, overlooking the Xikou terrace. When Chiang Kai Shek died in 1975, during Chiang Ching Kuo's funeral, he often stopped here from Cihu. He once published the article "Mei Tai thinks of his relatives", so he named this pavilion "think of his relatives".

carving

There are 12 more sculptures from all over the world in the garden, which adds a lot of artistic atmosphere to the garden. My taste in art is limited, and the nature of watching is more than the purpose of appreciation, but I also enjoy it. On the whole, "Jiaobanshan Hotel scenic spot" covers a large area, larger than Jiaobanshan Park, with diversified and rich connotations. There are Chiang Kai Shek's guild hall, mysterious underground passage, art sculptures, plum, cypress, pine and other trees in the park. It is a scenic spot worth visiting.

Bronze statue of leader

Jiaobanshan park is not very big. From the current perspective and standards, it is not enough to become a scenic spot. Because it is an old park, the old trees and trees in the park make it elegant and pleasant. Today, there are not many tourists, and the atmosphere in the park is quiet. In a corner of the park stands a bronze statue of Chiang Kai Shek, facing the Xikou terrace alone. The front of the bronze statue is inlaid with a piece of marble and engraved with the four words "forever cherishing the leader". The white grain of Dali color reveals most of the red brown rust color. The marble on both sides of the base of the bronze statue is engraved with the four great wishes Chiang Kai Shek left to his people.

Hotel scenic spot

Jiaobanshan platform is located in the upper reaches of the Dahan river. The bend of the river forms the terrace. The tableland is surrounded by mountains, with beautiful scenery. Former President Chiang Kai Shek named the terrace at the foot of Jiaoban mountain "Xikou terrace" because it was similar to his hometown Xikou town in Fenghua County, Zhejiang Province. Because he loved this scene, he established two guildhalls in Jiaoban mountain.

One of the two pavilions is located in the "Jiaobanshan Park", which was later destroyed by fire in the 1990s. The original site was rebuilt as the Renaissance villa of the national salvation Corps. I have lost the old appearance of Xingguan this time, but the two old trees in front of Fuxing villa are connected like arches, and the scenery is as before.

Another of Chiang Kai Shek's pavilions, which was later handed over to Taoyuan County Government for management, was planned as "Jiaobanshan Hotel scenic spot" and opened to the public in 2003. Twelve sculptures designed by 12 famous artists at home and abroad are placed in the park for tourists to visit. "Jiaobanshan Hotel scenic spot" is a new scenic spot in Jiaobanshan, with sparse trees, plum blossoms, sidewalks, pavilions and ponds.

Xikou suspension bridge

Zhentou mountain, also known as "Jiaoban mountain", is 631 meters high. It is a strategic place nearby. It can monitor the movement of the platform of Jiaoban mountain. It was a place that military strategists fought for in the past, but today it is an unknown mountain.

Under the Xikou platform, the Dahan river is as still as a lake. More than half of the lake is occupied by driftwood. It should be a masterpiece of typhoon Haitang recently. Above the floating wood, there is a suspension bridge connecting the two sides of the Dahan River, which is called Xikou suspension bridge. The gap between Jiaobanshan Park and Xikou suspension bridge is quite large, at least one to two hundred meters.

Beside the park, there is a stone footpath leading to the Xikou suspension bridge. All the way down, almost all stone steps, about 15 minutes, to Xikou suspension bridge. The suspension bridge crosses the valley. The width of the slab is less than one meter. It only allows two people to pass by. The length of the bridge is considerable. It is the longest suspension bridge I have ever walked. It is estimated that the length of the bridge is about 160 meters. From the suspension bridge to the other bank, there is a wharf,
