The park was designed as part of a significant riverfront renovation project to transform a channelized ditch into an ecological corridor.
It utilizes a 'sponge city' concept, incorporating permeable paving and vegetation to improve local drainage during heavy rainfall.
The name 'Huludun' is the historical name for the Fengyuan District, derived from the indigenous word for 'gourd' due to the local topography.
The landscape architecture includes native species intended to restore biodiversity along the urban creek bed.
Huludun Waterfront is a revitalized urban park located along the Ruanpitou Creek in the Fengyuan District of Taichung. It serves as a green corridor integrating ecological flood control with recreational space. The park features winding walking trails, landscaped gardens, and stone-paved paths that follow the natural flow of the waterway. It functions as a central community hub that connects the local commercial areas with natural water features. The infrastructure emphasizes water permeable surfaces to aid in urban water management. Large open areas are designed for leisure activities and community events. It acts as a primary outdoor space for residents to traverse the district while remaining sheltered by native vegetation. The park successfully balances flood mitigation engineering with pedestrian-friendly pathways.

Wear comfortable walking shoes as the park's length is significant and requires steady movement across varying stone textures.
Do not attempt to enter the water of the creek, as it is designed for flood management rather than recreational swimming.
Respect local residents by keeping noise levels low during late evening hours and maintain cleanliness by using provided disposal bins.
