The park occupies a site that was once a municipal landfill before undergoing an extensive ecological restoration project.
Geologically, the area is known for its sedimentary rock formations shaped by persistent wave action and salt spray.
The park is home to the 'Giant Brooms' art installation, which has become an iconic site for social media photography.
The coastal waters adjacent to the park are part of the Chaojing Marine Resource Conservation Area, designated to protect local biodiversity.
The park features an outdoor 'Hogwarts-style' broomstick display that frames the ocean horizon.
Chao Jing Park is a reclaimed coastal headland in Keelung, Taiwan, transformed from a former landfill site into a public recreation area. The park is characterized by its expansive grassy hills and rugged, rocky coastline featuring distinct geological formations. It provides unobstructed views of the East China Sea and Keelung Islet. The site is physically linked to the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology (NMMST) campus. Visitors frequently utilize the park's walking trails to observe tide pools and coastal erosion patterns. The park area includes public art installations, including giant 'broomsticks' that serve as popular visual landmarks. Due to its elevated position on a peninsula, the area is exposed to significant oceanic winds throughout the year.

Bring a windbreaker or layered clothing as the coastal position leads to strong, unpredictable winds.
Wear closed-toe footwear with good grip to safely navigate the slippery, uneven rocky tide pool areas.
Carry sun protection such as a hat or umbrella, as the grassy hillsides offer almost zero natural shade.
Visiting during typhoon warnings or heavy rain, as the coastal trails become hazardous due to high waves and slippery rocks.
Stay on marked paths to protect the coastal ecosystem; do not remove rocks or marine life from tide pools.
