Jiangtan Wetland Park

The park takes full advantage of the original waterways to create its scenic zones, including landscape bridges, waterscape pieces, and large-sized lawns.

The park is also a good place to have a picnic and barbecue with family or friends on a sunny weekend.

There's an aerial footpath running through the park. As you stand on its viewing platform, you'll feel that both ships on the other side of the river and clouds in the sky seem to be within your reach.

Zheng He Park

Zheng He Park is the only riverside park in China themed on Zheng He, a Chinese mariner, explorer, diplomat, fleet admiral, and court eunuch during China's early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The park thus shows us something of China's ancient sea culture.

More than 10 park installations, such as man-made mountains, simulated Zheng He ships, a Zheng He memorial hall and pavilions showing the local customs of the countries the mariner visited, will take you back in time.

The 1.5-kilometer man-made mountains in the park consist of 11 hills. Standing on the highest one, 46 meters in the air, you'll be able to see the distant Yangtze River.
