Lichi Garden preserves the water-bank scenery and the park’s swimming pool that has been
rarely used has been torn down. Along with the Japanese-styled architecture clusters in the
Air Force No. 11 Village, Hsinchu Park has the artificial waterfall and stream, and even makes
the 100-year-old Autumn Maple Trees re-appear. As far as the concrete revetment in the past
is concerned, it has been replaced by the stone cages and multi-level plants to give the various
water-bank scenes. On the other hand, the water cycling system is also designed—the air
venting of the fountains enhances the oxygen dissolution and water flowing. In this respect,
the purification function is raised, and the water quality, smell, and proliferation of green algae
are improved as well. Last of all, the 5.5-meter high walls are torn down, so the 48-stair One
Hundred Boulevard’s Big Stair Square has become the new image of entrance to Hsinchu Park
(Architect’s Magazine, No. 9, September, 2018).

To Make Imagination of the City Woods Come True—Floristic
Survey to Make the Tree’s ID

In 2017, the Hsinchu Government entrusted the Consultant Company to make a survey of
more than 3000 arbors in the park. Firstly, according to the route and the slope characteristics
of the park’s environment, the existing traits of the trees’ distribution were observed to conduct
block division. Then, the range of each block’s original management unit in the Hsinchu
Government was adjusted to function as the basis of the arbors’ the arbors’ block number.
Thirdly, the arbors were taken picture for record one by one (this is the most fundamental way
to record), including the appearance characteristics like the height, the width of the tree crown,
the tree diameter, the breed identification, and etc. Each tree’s basic information was composed
by the tree’s photo record, and then each arbor’s planting health checklist and the soil’s basic
inspection were made.

It is found that the plant blocks are concentrated distributed, which depicts the expansion of
the tree distribution and the Hsinchu Park’s age of development. Even in the natural plateau
area, there were mountain and ocean tree species, which indicates the change of the geographic
coast-line in Taiwan. Those findings can not only help historic research, but also set up the
scientific and future-oriented foundation of the Floristic distribution theory (Architect’s
Magazine, No. 9, September, 2018).
