Monga Park Renovation to Open in October with Mirror Pond & Fountain Near Longshan Temple

Monga Park, next to Longshan Temple and Longshan Temple MRT Station in Taipei's Wanhua District, is undergoing a landscape renovation that will add a mirror pond and dancing water fountain. The Parks and Street Lights Office says the works are expected to finish by late September, with the park reopening in mid-October after inspection.

A Water Plaza as the New Highlight

The park in front of the national monument Longshan Temple is being reorganized to improve landscaping, drainage, lighting and public toilets. Besides the water plaza, the design includes a shallow mirror pond, a corridor, a family pavilion and a fitness area, while reducing visual barriers and adding greenery to open up the sightline from Longshan Temple to the park.

The water plaza will feature a shallow mirror pond and ground-level fountain, usable for splashing and relaxation on normal days, and drainable to become an event space during weekend markets or festivals.
