臺灣府城長期為臺灣政經中心，並係官吏紳商的主要聚集及往來之地。 隨大清治權展開後，府城內外除修築與新建各式行政與軍事設施外，另值得 注意的，是作為官紳休憩與交誼的空間亦隨之而起。 在本籍迴避政策下前來的各級官員，除致力公務，公暇之際並有著生活 經營及休閒活動；休閒看似是個人的調劑與選擇，但有時更涉及到社會領導 群體間互動關聯、個人創造能力的投入與展現，及未來仕途之複雜考量。故 散落於府城內外的官署園林及遊憩場所等讓官員暫時卸下俗職差異，並藉由 文會及賞遊包裝建構而成的休憩「異質空間」（heterotopias）之營造，是在 何種背景脈絡及意識下開展，便成為了解清代臺灣官紳活動時值得觀察的面 向。這些從領臺初期至 1740 年代官員所建立起供宴飲雅集的休閒空間，其 類型包括：（一）獨立園林：北園，（二）附屬公衙的官署園林，（三）廟 宇佛寺，（四）自然地景，（五）民間設施等。除了新造，更多有改建或增 補自前朝所遺留的官民建築。而休憩空間領造與詮釋者，係以道臺、知府為 首的文官為主，這些深受中國文人交誼往來傳統影響的官僚群們，將庭園建 築、佛寺賞遊、園林文會、伶人奏演等移植到府城，奠定府城地區官署園林 與休憩空間的走向。

During the Qing rule, spaces for leisure and social interaction among government officials and members of the gentry emerged in Taiwan Prefecture. For Qing officials posted from China to Taiwan, “heterotopias” such as official gardens and recreational spaces scattered throughout the city and its outskirts were places where officials of all levels could mingle for literary gatherings and scenic tours. These recreational spaces were gradually developed from the beginning of the Qing rule of Taiwan to the early Qianlong reign and can be divided into five categories: stand-alone gardens; gardens affiliated with government offices; temples and monasteries; natural scenic sites; and privately owned facilities. While some were newly built spaces, more were renovations or expansions of existing structures built in the Ming dynasty. The creation of these recreational spaces was mainly undertaken by civilian officials such as circuit intendants (daotai) and prefects (zhifu), who brought to Taiwan both facilities and cultural events, such as visits to gardens and temples, literary gatherings, and performances, thus setting the direction for the development of gardens and recreational spaces for government offices in Taiwan Prefecture.
