The park's design concept is centered on the 'ink-stone and ink-pool' philosophy of traditional calligraphy.
The museum structure at the park was designed by architect Pan Wencheng to resemble an ink-stone box floating on water.
The park features a system of interconnected water basins that function as part of a local flood-detention system.
The paths are strategically curved to prevent long, straight lines, echoing the dynamic motion of a calligraphy brush.
The surrounding landscape uses local stone materials to maintain visual consistency with the museum's exterior.
Hengshan Calligraphy Art Park is a 2.8-hectare landscape project surrounding the Taoyuan Calligraphy Art Center. The park features an expansive artificial pond designed to reflect the geometric, metallic architecture of the adjacent museum. Wooden walkways and landscaped hills create a spatial design intended to mimic the flow of ink strokes on paper. The water feature serves as a central hub, integrating modern environmental design with traditional calligraphic aesthetics. It serves as a public leisure space for the Dayuan District while acting as the architectural landscape for the specialized art institution. The terrain incorporates varying elevations to provide multiple viewing angles of the pond and the museum's complex roof structure.
The wooden boardwalk directly across from the main entrance of the calligraphy museum.
Walk the full perimeter of the pond to see how the building's reflection changes from different vantage points.
Bring sun protection, as the park is largely exposed with minimal natural canopy cover.
Visit the wooden decks near the water's edge for the best views of the museum's roof geometry.
Do not attempt to enter the water or feed the wildlife residing in the pond.
The outdoor park area is open daily, though the attached museum is closed on Mondays.
Stay on the designated wooden walkways to protect the shoreline vegetation.
