Tiangongtan Park is a specialized park in Hsinchu City centered around a traditional temple featuring a prominent dragon-carved totem pole.

It integrates traditional architectural elements with outdoor landscaped areas designed for local leisure. The dragon-carved totem pole serves as the focal point of the temple grounds, representing indigenous or folk-religious cultural aesthetics. The park layout incorporates paved walkways and greenery, facilitating short-term public use for relaxation and prayer.
