The Heping Island Park (Chinese: 和平島海濱公園; pinyin: Hépíng Dǎo Hǎibīn Gōngyuán) or Ho Ping Island Hi Park (Chinese: 和平島海角樂園; pinyin: Hépíng Dǎo Hǎijiǎo Lèyuán) is a park in Heping Island, Zhongzheng District, Keelung, Taiwan.[1]

History

Strong wind over the years had eroded the coastal area of Heping Island, forming rocks with special shapes. The park used to be under the military control for a long period of time. However, the ban was gradually lifted in the 1960s and 1970s. Since then, more tourists have come to the area. Parts of the parks were close starting the end of 2010 and was fully reopened to the public in June 2012.[2]

Features

The park island is connected to Keelung mainland with the Heping Bridge.[3] The park consists of its vast mushroom-shaped rocks.

Transportation

The park is accessible by bus from bus stop nearby Keelung Station of Taiwan Railways Administration.
