Guizikeng Camping Site—A Place for Family Fun

With the advent of the balmy autumn weather, Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) invites the public to take advantage of the city's Guizikeng Camping Site for a relaxing recreational experience during the approaching Double Tenth Day holiday.

Guizikeng, boasting a unique natural environment, is an ideal place for camping activities. The circular plaza at the site serves as a venue for field games while city dwellers enjoy a rare opportunity to relish the view of a starry night sky free of light pollution, as well as listening to live concerts featuring melodies from nature. The camping ground is home to a “Lovers’ Lake” populated by lotus and fish. The traces of blue magpies can also be found in the surrounding woods.

According to GEO, Guizikeng Camping Site comprises a grass area designed for ordinary visitors and a zone for those who arrive on motor vehicles—each space is equipped with electricity—making the camping experience even more convenient.

Individuals should visit the city’s recreation-themed website (http://gisweb.taipei.gov.tw/release/)(Chinese) to make reservations 30 days ahead of their planned arrival date. The service is totally free. However, barbeque at the camping ground is prohibited to prevent fires.

In the interest of improving the camping experience for visitors, GEO noted that Guizikeng will undergo renovation and expansion starting October 11, 2016. The service is slated to resume on January 1, 2017.
