The painting’s perspective goes from Taoyuan Daxi Park (Zhongzheng Park) towards Kanjin Bridge. On the left are the park entrance trail and visitors guiding the viewer’s eyeline into the park. Both sides of the trail are dotted and dyed with all kinds of green shades, using rich brushwork to create a sight of vibrant layered greenness and a mixed selection of complex vegetation. Obscure red-brick buildings can be seen deep inside the park. Seen at the highest point are distant mountain peaks. The sky and the area below the river are treated with a unique ink-colliding technique to depict a sight of swirling twirling metamorphosis. On the right we can see a river running below Kanjin Bridge, a representative landmark in Daxi, Taoyuan.

This painting features a famous tourist attraction, expressing Wu’s love for his hometown. Wu’s artistic creation covered traditional ink painting and modern ink painting.
