Taipei people like dogs but finding somewhere to walk Fido can be difficult. There lots of room for dog walkers along the Keelung River between Zhongshan Bridge and Dazhi Bridge. If you want, you can hire a bicycle, or even skateboard, though I prefer walking. There's a water spout that comes to life for half an hour, every hour, on the hour.

The nearly 20-hectare Xinsheng Park was completed in 1978 where the Taipei Xinsheng Elevated Road, Minzu E. Rd., Songjiang Rd. and Binjiang St. meet. The second largest of its kind in Taipei City, Xinsheng Park boasts an impressive array of facilities perfect for recreation and sports, which include an indoor pool, a baseball field, a basketball court and the environmentalist Garden Maze. Adding a touch of culture to the park are nine varying sized sculptures, namely the “Times of Ease,” “Peace on Earth,” “A Flock of Cranes,” “Hope,” “Prosperity,” “Love & Peace,” “Dad’s Message,” “Where the Spring Goes” and “Unity.”Xinsheng Park, which was one of four exhibit areas of the 2010Taipei International Flora Expo, covers the neighboring Lin An-tai Historical House & Museum, as well as the Flora Tunnel (Bamboo Veranda) made of floral blossoms, vegetations and shrubs of bamboo that links the Dajia Riverside Park Area. In addition to gardening highlights in the “Dream” and “Tea” sections that make references to the Xinsheng Park and Lin An-tai Historical House & Museum, respectively, other must-visits in the area are the Palace of Flora Teas, which is a traditional Chinese-style, four-walled courtyard; the Pavilion of Regimen housed in the park’s existing structure of “Little White House”; the Pavilion of Dreams that differentiates itself from the other Flora Expo pavilions with state-of-the-art, interactive digital technologies originated in Taiwan; the Pavilion of Angel Life emphasizes the importance of an arts-infused lifestyle; the Pavilion of Future illustrates the harmonious ties between mankind and the ecological environment they share with plant life. The Pavilions of Dreams, Angel Life and Future have received candidacy for the diamond degree of the Taiwanese EEWH Green Building. After the closing of the Flora Expo, the Palace of Flora Teas and the Pavilions of Regimen, Angel Life and Future were renovated and reopened along with a part of the lawn and outdoor space. A three-pavilion pass is now available at a charge for visitors to enjoy the Pavilion of Dream, the most popular facility during the Flora Expo period, as well as the Pavilion of Future and the Taipei Pavilion (from Expo 2010 Shanghai), for just NT$150.

Xinsheng Park was created in 1978, it is one of the biggest parks of its kind in Taipei City -- it's around 20 ha (around 50 acres). It was a major destination for the Taipei International Floral Expo in 2010. Some of the pavilions are still in use. The roses can be relied on to flower in spring; the floral maze is interesting. The historic Li An-tai residence is close by. There are several recreational facilities in the garden, including a basketball court. The Park has a number of interesting statues. Xinsheng Park is a bit out of the way, best means of getting there is to get off at the Yuan Shan MRT Station, it's around a 20-minute walk.

The idea of a farmers' market, where producers sell direct to the public, is relatively new in Taipei, but it is catching on. There's lots of things to do and buy at the Expo weekend market. The honey is a bit pricey, but it's a natural product of Taiwan. The fruit comes in many varieties, some of which will seem a tad strange to newcomers to the island. What would a Taiwan market be without food? There's lots to eat. Youngsters will like the bouncy castle. The Expo weekend market has something for every family. It's at the Yuanshan MRT Station on the Red (Tamshui-Xinyi) Line.

Rongxing Garden Park is favoured by dog-walkers, Their pooches must be on leash and their masters pick up their droppings. Ronxing is an unusually large park for downtown Taipei and it has many features, including an indoor swimming pool and basketball court. There is a children's playground and enough room to kick a ball. In the morning, elderly people can be seen performing tai-chi. One unusual feature is the eco-pond, which is intended to improve biological diversity.
