The 'TAICHUNG' art installation serves as a landmark for passengers traveling on the adjacent Taiwan High Speed Rail tracks.
The riverway was developed as part of a major ecological corridor project to improve the Fazi River's flood detention capacity.
The site uses motion-sensor LED lighting to highlight the landmark signage during evening hours.
It is situated on a reclaimed riverside green space that connects various pedestrian and bicycle trails in the Nantun District.
Fazi Riverway is primarily defined by a prominent, oversized 'TAICHUNG' English-lettering sculpture installation positioned along the riverbank. The site functions as a public riverside park integrated into the city’s flood control infrastructure along the Fazi River. The viewing deck provides unobstructed sightlines of the river and the urban landscape, including passing high-speed trains. Landscaping features local vegetation, walking paths, and architectural lighting that illuminates the giant letters after dark. It serves as a symbolic gateway for visitors entering Taichung from the western transport corridor.

Bring a telephoto lens if you wish to photograph the high-speed trains passing behind the main sculpture.
The area is highly exposed; bring sun protection as there is minimal natural canopy cover on the viewing deck.
Visit during the evening to see the art installation illuminated.
Do not expect a forest or dense park area; this is an open urban riverside installation with limited shade.
Avoid climbing or sitting on the oversized 'TAICHUNG' letter sculptures to prevent damage and maintain the site for others.
