河滨公园

河滨公园距离新竹火车站很近，风景怡人，非常适合全家人散步的地方，附近有很多商店及餐厅不用担心吃的问题。来新竹的话河滨公园真的是非常值得一游的好景点。

Though we didn't make it all the way up the Riverside walk (we hope to yet!), the walk is quite nice - especially at night when it is lit up by a variety of different lanterns and lights.Because we were here during the Lantern Festival, there were also a number of larger installments that lit up at night either directly along the walk, or just a jaunt out of the way. Though you could do this walk during the day, it is better to do so in the evening when it is dark enough to appreciate it's true beauty. Make sure you bundle up because it can get chilly in the evenings and don't forget your umbrella. The walk is easy and mostly paved, so it is suitable for just about anyone (in fact, it's one of the few places in Hsinchu that actually had "sidewalk" like areas).

The Riverside Park starts between the cobblestone streets that come off of Dongmen Circle. There, the city often has cultural affairs like Lantern Festival (which happens in February, usually) and other attractions. The walk continues under Dongmen Circle and leads to East Gate. From there it goes under again to the other side where it rejoins the river and continues on toward the government buildings.At night, see the park partially light up. Christmas has some special decorations, as does Chinese New Year. But even regular nights have something special.A romantic walk? Sure! Go feed the fish? Ok! Sit on a park bench and people watch? Sure thing.Take note that in the underpass toward the Dongmen circle is where many of the break dancers practice because there is a reflective plexiglass. Do not worry! These dancers are super friendly, talented, and outgoing.

新竹駅の左側、林森路から東門の方向に一直線に伸びるお堀とその両脇の並木道が公園となっています。ちょっとオシャレなオブジェがあったりで、何も考えずにぼんやり歩き東門までは両サイドにちらちら見える日本食レストランのどれが美味しそうかなとか新鋭のブランド服を扱う店だとかを眺めて散歩するのが良いです。新竹市民のリラックスゾーンです。
