Bianzhou Park is a large grassy park in Taoyuan District of Taoyuan City. Here you can enjoy three circular "pump track" bike paths, slides, walking paths, and more. You can also check out the nearby Hexian Temple. 

Historical Background:
Bianzhou Park was completed in 2014, with mostly just grassy spaces. The park was renovated in 2021 to include three pump tracks. Pump tracks are hilly obstacles made especially for bicycles. They have wavy, hilly, and quarter-pipe-like structures. 
The park is popular on weekends and you will often see small children practice riding balance bikes here. 

Hexian Temple was constructed in 1987, and the main deity there is the Lotus Leaf Immortal Master, who is said to be the God of Construction, his God statue was thought to have been brought over from China over 100 years ago. Before the temple was built, the God was carried from place to place and worshipped by construction workers in Taiwan. 
There is also a funeral and cremation area near the temple.

Our Journey:

We have been to Bianzhou Park once. I was surprised to see so many people here enjoying the pump tracks. It is only the second pump track I have seen in Taiwan, the other one is near the Rainbow Bridge in Taipei. Even without the bike path, the park is nice because there is still such a large flat grassy area which can be hard to find in parks in Taiwan.

You can check out our drone video of the area above.

You can also check out a 360 degree view of the area above. 

Hexian Temple sits at the top of the hill overlooking the park. There is some paid parking inside the temple. 

Hexian Temple was constructed in 1987, and the main deity there is the Lotus Leaf Immortal Master, who is said to be the God of Construction, and his God statue was thought to have been brought over from China over 100 years ago. Before the temple was built, the God was carried from place to place and worshipped by construction workers in Taiwan. 
There is also a funeral and cremation area near the temple. ​

View over the park from the top of the hill. 

There are two stone statues at the top of the park, one is the God of Riches of the right and the other is the God of Longevity on the left.

When I visited there were already two kids on balance bikes and one adult on a mountain bike doing loops around the course. 

There are some rules that you should follow, all written in Chinese. I saw there were two other foreigners in the park too.
