Overview

Jiaoban Mountain Park is a historical site and sculpture garden situated on a plateau overlooking the Dahan River in Taoyuan’s Fuxing District. The park serves as the site of the former Jiaobanshan Residence, once a retreat for Chiang Kai-shek. It is internationally recognized for its permanent outdoor sculpture collection, featuring works by artists from diverse countries including the Netherlands, France, and Japan. The landscape is characterized by extensive maple tree groves that produce vibrant red foliage during the late autumn and early winter months. Visitors can traverse an underground tunnel originally built for wartime evacuation, which now serves as a historical exhibit featuring interactive wall art. The park maintains a network of walking trails that link the sculpture displays with views of the surrounding mountainous topography.

Insider tips

Bring comfortable walking shoes to navigate the steep, uneven paths between the sculpture areas and the river valley viewpoint.

Visit the underground tunnel exhibit early in your walk to avoid potential crowding during peak mid-day hours.

Check local weather reports specifically for Fuxing District, as the mountain climate can change rapidly compared to downtown Taoyuan.

What to avoid

Attempting to walk to the riverside base from the main park area unless you are prepared for a strenuous, steep return ascent.

Etiquette

Maintain a quiet volume near the historical residence buildings and do not touch the outdoor art installations.
