Set the scope by the time you have, then add confirmed sessions. This is easier than trying to cover every venue.
01 · 2 hr
Two-hour highlights
Best for a first visit with a tight schedule or a quick look at the heritage street and one gallery.
- 1. Wenchang Street
- 2. Wenchang Temple
- 3. One exhibition venue
- 4. Linshui Street or the riverfront
On Mondays, check the later opening times before choosing the gallery.
02 · 4 hr
Four-hour half day
Combines heritage streets, historic buildings and the main exhibition spaces with time to rest or eat.
- 1. Heritage streets
- 2. Wenchang Temple or Guanghsiao Shrine
- 3. Exhibition Hall
- 4. Chiang Wei-shui Theater
- 5. Add a confirmed show or workshop
This is the most flexible starting point for most first-time visitors.
03 · Full day
Full-day culture plan
Worthwhile when you have confirmed a performance, workshop, tour or river cruise and want a slower visit.
- 1. Heritage streets and buildings in the morning
- 2. Exhibition and lunch
- 3. Booked workshop or river cruise
- 4. Confirmed performance
- 5. Evening riverfront walk
If no suitable session is running, shorten this naturally to the half-day plan.
How to read the park
Think in four experience areas instead of memorising every hall and street, then use the official park map for the day’s route.
Entrance and visitor services
Start at the ticket entrance for the day’s programme, venue and workshop information. Ask the service centre about lockers, wheelchairs or family facilities. The entrance photo is for recognising the building; signs and facilities may have changed.
Spend a few minutes checking session times before choosing streets or indoor venues.
Heritage streets and buildings
Wenchang Street, Wenchang Temple and the surrounding shop houses connect folk architecture, worship spaces and craft shops. Businesses change, but the architectural details reward a slower walk.
Use this flexible area just after opening or between scheduled activities.
Exhibitions and performances
The Exhibition Hall and Chiang Wei-shui Theater host exhibitions, permanent displays and performances. Monday opening times differ, and programmes rotate, so plan from the day’s notice.
Fix any must-see session first and place the walking route around it.
Linshui Street and riverfront
The park sits beside Dongshan River, adding an outdoor pause between shops and galleries. River cruises remain subject to weather, river conditions and operations.
Use late afternoon in fair weather; shorten the outdoor stretch when it rains.

What can you see or do today?
Exhibitions, performances, workshops and cruises follow different schedules. Check the public pages, then confirm at the entrance or service centre.

DIY sessions, booked workshops and Dongshan River cruises may have capacity, check-in or weather limits and are not guaranteed daily.
Published cruise hours are 09:00–17:00 with last ticket sales at 16:15; actual operation depends on the day’s notice.
Transport and parking
Use the park address for the main entrance and car park. From Luodong, check each bus operator’s current route page.
Driving and parking
Navigate to No. 201, Sec. 2, Wubin Road. Parking is NT$30 per hour, capped at NT$60 per day, with the first 30 minutes free; the entrance displays any same-day changes.
Transfer at Luodong
Reach Luodong Station or Luodong Bus Station, then take a bus or taxi. Allow time to find the correct stop and walk from your arrival point.
Current bus information
Green 21 and route 621 stops, timetables and operating days can change. Open the current route timetable before leaving.

Families, older visitors, accessibility and rain
The park has visitor facilities, but outdoor routes, heritage thresholds and individual activities differ. Contact the park beforehand for specific assistance.
- Ask the service centre about the nursing room, lockers and family facilities.
- Wheelchairs can be borrowed near the entrance, usually with photo identification.
- Accessible parking and toilets are provided, but this does not make every street fully step-free.
- Heritage thresholds and outdoor paving can affect pushchairs and wheelchairs.
- On Mondays, two major venues open later; plan rest stops for older visitors.
- In summer, alternate indoor and outdoor time and carry water and sun protection.
- Rain still means outdoor walking between buildings; bring rain gear and non-slip shoes.
- Workshops, shows and cruises may have age or mobility conditions; check before booking.
