Taoyuan Attractions
Hoping to promote the artistic atmosphere of Jiaobanshan and bringing international art into Taiwan. The Taoyuan County Government invited 12 well-known sculptors from Taiwan, the United States, and Europe to design a sculpture park and public art education area in Jiaobanshan Park. It is the first world-class sculpture park in Taiwan. The creative sculptures blended in with the local landscape and promoted the tourism in this area.
Mr. Chiang Kai-shek and Madame Chiang each respectively planted a banyan tree in October of 1950 in front of “Taizilou” (means the prince’s building in Chinese). After decades, the branches of trees tangles and hold each other after many years, like a couple affectionately holding each other; therefore it’s called “Embracing Couple” banyan trees. It is both historical and natural wonder, a must visit attraction in Jiaobanshan Park.
Jiaobanshan Park is known for beautiful maple trees, pine trees, and plum trees. The park changes its color throughout different season. The designed sculpture park corresponds with the natural scenery in harmony. And the local native culture awaits your exploration.
