Located at the intersection of Zhi-cheng Road Section 1 and Yu-sheng Street in Shilin District, nestled beside the Shuangxi River, it is a large natural park full of green ecology and cultural relics. Its name originates from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, when immigrants from Zhangzhou, Fujian, settled in the areas of Danbei and Shilin. The park was named after its terrain, which is similar to that of Mount Zhi in Zhangzhou, Fujian. The park encompasses prehistoric cultures such as the Dabenkeng, Zhishiyan, Yuanshan, and Botanical Garden cultures, as well as historical and cultural periods including the Qing Dynasty, Japanese colonial era, and the Republic of China government period, making it rich in human history and relics. Within the park stands the century-old temple "Huiji Temple," originally built in the 17th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, making it 260 years old. In 1979, it was designated as a Class III historic site by the Ministry of the Interior, with Kai Zhang Sheng Wang as the main deity enshrined. Due to long-term protection as a historic site, the park still retains many old trees, such as the 300-year-old camphor tree next to the Yunong Reading Room, which is the treasure of the park. Furthermore, due to long-term weathering, the park's terrain and landforms have created many natural landscapes, such as Elephant Stone, Borehole, Onion Stone, Stone Lord, and Snake and Frog Stone, all of which serve as rich geological teaching materials.
