Xinzhongshan Linear Park

Traveler highlights

Xinzhongshan Linear Park turns the former railway corridor between Zhongshan and Shuanglian stations into a green strip about 500 meters long. After the Tamsui railway line was moved underground, the remaining space was redesigned beginning in 2018 and opened in 2019. Today it connects the park, Zhongshan Underground Book Street and the surrounding neighborhood. Along the path are green spaces, landscaped platforms and raised planters; the ground has been leveled, and formerly closed edges opened to make walking through and pausing easier. The “Xinzhongshan Stage” is a visual focal point, with station structures in exposed concrete shaped in irregular curves. The underground street’s Jazz Plaza and book street extend the public space below ground. Markets and music events are also held here, with seasonal lights and a large Christmas tree during the holiday period. This linear park runs through everyday city life, linking the neighborhood, underground spaces and pedestrian routes.
