Previously, Riverside Park was the old Jhuoshuei River and the major ferry pier between Beidou and Lukang. As the times have changed, the old Jhoushuei River was buried by grass and shrubs, and contaminated by factory discharge and heaps of garbage. Not long ago, it was filled with stagnant water. In 1994, Beidou Township Office decided to take control over the old Jhoushuei River and turn it into a beautiful Riverside Park. Long and narrow, the park covers the areas from the old Jhoushuei River and the banks between Cixing Bridge and Beidou Bridge.
