#### Distant View from Yuan Mountain

Yuan Mountain refers to today’s Jisui Yuan Mountainzi, a hill located in the northwest part of the Zhonghe area, named for its rounded shape. In earlier times, one could enjoy a panoramic view of rice fields from Yuan Mountainzi, but today the landscape is dominated by shops and buildings, vastly different from the past. The summit of Yuan Mountainzi has been developed into Yuan Mountain Park. By following the sloped path on Yuan Mountain Road, Lane 455 in Zhonghe District, you can reach the park's steps. The park features a circular mountain trail, children’s playground, and a Chinese-style pavilion. Wandering through the forest, with a gentle breeze, the sounds of birds, and fragrant flowers, one can feel a great sense of tranquility.
