Visitors appreciate its blend of historical buildings, including structures dating back to the Japanese occupation, and lush greenery, notably a large Chinese Banyan tree said to have been planted by a Japanese emperor.

This is a must visit place in the city and it is beautiful. The place is centrally located and you can easily reach it. The stories and the facts of this place are very interesting and make way for an entertaining tour.. This park is amazing and has beautiful scenery. It is a perfect spot to take a good walk or even go for a run. There is a dedicated trail, well managed in the park. The trees by the trail are just beautiful and provide a lot of good air. There are also benches in the park where you can sit and relax.
