The park was developed as part of a local community revitalization project to highlight the unique geography of the Zhenzhu Village area.
Its elevation provides a rare unobstructed 360-degree view of the Lanyang Plain's traditional checkered agricultural layout.
The park design utilizes the natural slope of the terrain to create multiple levels of observation platforms without major structural alteration to the hillside.
希望之丘 (Hill of Hope) is a community-integrated hilltop park located within the rural landscape of Zhenzhu Village in Yilan County's Dongshan Township. The site is characterized by its elevated vantage point that offers expansive views of the Lanyang Plain and the surrounding rice paddies. It serves as a local recreational space featuring paved walkways and tiered landscaping designed for pedestrian access. The park is integrated into the local agricultural environment, providing a connection between Dongshan's rural lifestyle and the natural topography of the area. As a public park, it functions primarily as a quiet observation point rather than a facility-heavy leisure complex.
The highest wooden observation platform at the summit, which captures the symmetry of the surrounding paddy fields.
Bring insect repellent as the surrounding fields and hillside greenery attract mosquitoes and gnats.
Visit during clear weather, as visibility of the distant mountains and coastal plains is significantly reduced during Yilan's frequent rainy days.
Avoid visiting during heavy rainfall or typhoon warnings, as the rural access paths leading to the hilltop can become muddy and slippery.
Maintain silence as the park borders residential areas; carry out all trash as there are limited disposal facilities on-site.
