The park was built in 1958. It is bounded by Longjin West Road in the east, Xiguankou in the south, Huangsha Avenue in the west, and Zhongshan Eighth Road in the north. Litchi was once planted in large quantities in the area.
The park is equipped with restaurants, teahouses, dance halls and various recreational facilities, making it a comprehensive park integrating sightseeing, culture, sports, entertainment and rest.

Litchi Bay is the general name for the Xiguan River and Litchi River, and it is named after the litchi trees planted on both sides of the river. There was an ancient poem that said, "The water of the river is green, and the litchi trees on both sides are red," which describes Litchi Bay. Litchis have been planted here since the Tang Dynasty, and the litchi planting industry reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty. Guangzhou's Liwan District is named after Litchi Bay, and it was once known as "You haven't been to Guangzhou if you haven't been to Liwan."
In 1938, after the Japanese occupied Guangzhou, the Pearl River waterway that flows out of the Litchi Bay was blocked, and Litchi Bay gradually became depressed. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, chemical plants and printing and dyeing factories were built on the banks of Litchi Bay. Air, soil and water pollution made it difficult for lychees to grow, and the Litchi Bay water system became a stinking ditch. In 2010, in order to welcome the Guangzhou Asian Games and create the Asian Games landscape, the water of Liwan Lake was introduced into the river, antique buildings were added along the coast, and the houses around the scenic area were renovated and decorated. The former Litchi Bay has ushered in a new life, and the Litchi Bay project has become a masterpiece and precious legacy of the Guangzhou Asian Games.
There are many scenic spots along the Litchi Bay, such as Liang Family Ancestral Hall, Guangzhou Wenjin Antique City, Wen Tower, Longjin Bridge, Xiguan Mansion, Chen Lianbo's Former Residence, Jiang Guangnai's Former Residence, etc. Liwan Lake is rippling with green waves, and the banks are shaded by green trees. In the small square next to it, there are many middle-aged and elderly people enjoying Cantonese opera performances, which is very leisurely.
Liwan Lake Park is located in the scenic Litchi Bay area in the west of Guangzhou. It is a district-level cultural and leisure park. Historically, this place is home to many famous gardens and has rich cultural landscapes.
The opening and closing time of Liwan Lake Park is absolutely unique among the parks I have visited. It has no closing time, which means it is open all day. When you come at night, you can see the beautiful night view, walk along the lake, and feel the breeze. It is quite pleasant. It is now one of the new eight scenic spots in Guangzhou.
The park is actually quite large, and it takes a lot of time to walk around the entire park. In the minds of the Cantonese, this park is a street park, the kind of park that you can come and visit at any time. In this park, you can experience the slow life of the Cantonese.
Liwan Lake Park is located in the old site of Litchi Bay. It was dug by the masses in 1958 through voluntary labor. It was one of the three major municipal projects in Guangzhou at that time to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is now a comprehensive park integrating sightseeing, culture, sports, entertainment and rest, and is open to the public free of charge.
After passing through Feng Shui Ji's antique and food street, we arrived at the famous Litchi Bay Theater.
This open-air stage under the big banyan tree has become the core scene of life in the entire neighborhood. Every day from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m., there will be free performances by the local Cantonese opera troupe; rain or shine, 365 days a year. In addition to being a good window for tourists to spread traditional culture, more importantly, it has become a positive communication space between neighbors, and provides a stage for retired elderly people to study their hobbies and continue to shine for the society.
To me, this is the truly preserved traditional art that comes from life.
Nowadays, many so-called traditional cultural performance arts have become money-making tools in scenic spots, completely divorced from the daily lives of local people, let alone being lucky enough to peek into the city scenes on weekdays. When cities become monotonous and one-size-fits-all, these free but priceless traditional scenes are the core value that reflects the local self-spirit.
After dinner, we continued to head towards Litchi Bay and passed by the Liang Family Ancestral Hall of our Liang family. This ancestral hall is quite different from the Chen Family Ancestral Hall in terms of scale and form, so it is difficult to become a tourist attraction. It is now used as a tourist center of the Litchi Bay tourist area.
A place full of antique charm
This park is big and the scenery is beautiful
It takes two hours to go around the circle while taking photos and resting...
This is good if you have nowhere to go on holidays
Recommend to everyone❤️❤️
I was planning to go to Xiguan Mansion, so I went into Liwan Park when I passed by it. Many elderly people have a rich leisure life here, some are singing, some are dancing, and some are playing shuttlecock. It is a very down-to-earth park.
Liwan Lake Park is located on the site of Litchi Bay, a famous water town with a long history in Guangzhou. In the Ming Dynasty, "Fishermen's Songs in Liwan" was listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Guangzhou. Liwan Lake Park consists of Xiaocui Lake, Yucui Lake, Ruyi Lake and Wuxiu Lake. There are eight pavilions, eight bridges, four corridors, three halls, one pavilion and one pavilion scattered among the green trees, which are quite characteristic of garden architecture. Liwan Lake Park is not far from Shangxiajiu, which is a quiet place in the bustling city. It can be visited together with Shangxiajiu and Xiguan Mansion.
Beautiful environment, clean and sanitary, local characteristics, old Cantonese flavor, I personally think it is the most distinctive and fun park in Guangzhou
This park is a place for people to relax, exercise and have fun after dinner. There are dancers, singers and opera singers, of course, they sing the local Cantonese opera. Look, at the bridge head, the old men and women from the lakeside opera are singing enthusiastically, very devotedly, and playing live, and many people are gathered around to listen and watch. The elderly should have something to contribute and something to enjoy.
I went there with my parents during the National Day holiday. The atmosphere of the old city was very strong. The morning tea at Panxi Restaurant was a very good interpretation of the life of the old Cantonese.
I heard that the sunset in Liwan Lake Park is very beautiful, and it’s a great place to watch the afterglow of the setting sun.
It's really beautiful. Except for the renovation inside the park, I saw on the Internet that you can take a boat ride, but there was none when we went, what a pity~
It's not worth going. There's nothing there at night. There's only a park and a few shops open. Other shops are closed. It's so deserted.
A very Guangzhou place, the Xiguan mansion is also very classic. It is beautiful both day and night.
Liwan Bay is located in Liwan Lake Park, which is a lake-themed park that best reflects the elegant and gentle style of the south.
It is located in the Pantang area of Lizhiwan, Xiguan, Guangzhou City, bounded by Longjin West Road in the east, Xiguankou in the south, Huangsha Avenue in the west, and Zhongshan Eighth Road in the north.
The park was excavated by the public on a voluntary basis in 1958. It covers an area of about 400,000 square meters, with the lake accounting for about 2/3 of the total area.
Now Litchi Bay has become a tourist area integrating tourism, culture, food and entertainment.
Liwan is also called Xiguan, and Lizhiwan, as a major feature of Xiguan, fully presents the ancient history and culture of Xiguan, with a leisurely river, quiet streets, and tranquility in the bustling city. In the morning, even office workers who are in a hurry will slow down their pace to take a look at this quiet environment. When night falls in the evening, take a walk after dinner to wash away the fatigue of a hard day in the night. During the weekend break, the slow Cantonese voice drifts with the wind. Of course, you have to worship the gods. As the saying goes: the more gods you worship, the more gods you will be blessed by... During the Dragon Boat Festival, you can also watch the dragon boats, which are very lively! Taste Xiguan snacks and satisfy your cravings. Hahaha~ It is best to enter from Fengyuan Road and walk along the Yong (that is the small river, the locals call it "Yong", which is homophonic with "Cong"), which is the best itinerary. The subway is at Changshou Road Station, and there are 541, 66, 226, 74, 15, and 61 buses. Get off at Shisangong and walk 200 meters forward
This place is where locals go to exercise and relax. It's also nice to sit by the water and listen to some tunes!
Lizhiwan Park, my dad said he took me here when I was a kid, but I really have no impression of it. It is located in the bustling urban area, and feels the same as the People's Park in Chengdu. It is not very beautiful and distinctive, but it should have an irreplaceable position in the hearts of the older generation. Chengdu people drink tea in covered bowls and play the dragon gate array in the park, and Guangzhou people visit the park to enjoy the flowers and row boats. This is a tradition handed down and a long-established lifestyle, reflecting the cultural spirit of this city.
The night view is beautiful. My friend made authentic soup at home and fed the remaining meat to the cats. There are many stray cats in a corner of Litchi Bay Park.
If you plan to take a slow tour of Guangzhou, you can take a walk and take photos in Litchi Bay. It would be even better if you can catch the Lantern Festival.
We arrived at Litchi Lake Park, it was packed with people. The kids wanted to go boating, but it was impossible to go boating in Beijing at this time of year, but there were too many people and they couldn't queue up.
It's just a park, but it's surrounded by old streets, which are especially worth a visit.
There is no such park in my city, with beautiful water and green trees. I went there on the second day of the Chinese New Year. There were a lot of people, locals and tourists. You can go boating in the park, which is a good place for daily leisure. If there is such a park in your city, you don't have to go to Litchi Bay Park specifically. If you eat nearby, you can come here to take a walk to digest your food.
I like this place very much. Even during the Spring Festival, there are not crowds of tourists. Instead, it is very quiet. Walking slowly along it, it seems as if I have walked back to the old Xiguan, passing by an ancestral hall (with a very strong dragon boat culture), Bruce Lee's ancestral home, a Yue Opera Art Museum (it is well worth a visit, it is a different world inside and the content is rich. It is a very important place to understand the traditional culture of Yue Opera), passing by the former residence of Zhan Tianyou, and also passed by a film crew, as well as a roadside school, etc. It has a very strong Lingnan style and is worth a visit.
This place is also called Litchi Bay, and it is located in the old Xiguan Pantang area. I grew up here and have a deep affection for this place. Liwan Lake was my childhood paradise. Now, for the development of tourism, Litchi Bay has been built into a landscape full of Lingnan Xiguan cultural characteristics. It is worth a visit. There will be different scenery during the day and at night.
After having dinner at Banxi Restaurant with my friend, he led us to a nearby bar with a nice atmosphere to have a drink. It is really rare for a nostalgic bar to make classic cocktails so well. After chatting with the shopkeeper, it turned out that he often went to the hotel to drink cocktails. No wonder he can make such good cocktails, it turns out that he is a wine lover.
Located in Xiguan, Guangzhou, the park houses many historic Lingnan-style buildings.
This place is full of Guangzhou's Lingnan characteristics. You can go shopping and eat during the day because there are many authentic Guangzhou snacks. You can also try Cantonese-style morning tea at the Pan Tang Restaurant next to it. You can also enjoy the lanterns at night.
Litchi Bay, Litchi Creek, full name Litchi Bay Creek, is a famous scenic spot located in Liwan District, Guangzhou. There are 5 bridges in Litchi Bay Creek: Longjin Bridge, Dexing Bridge, Daguan Bridge, Zhishan Bridge, Yongning Bridge. Longjin Bridge echoes with Wen Tower and is the iconic landscape of Litchi Bay.
There are many grandpas and grandmas singing Cantonese opera in the park. As an open and free park, it is quite good. It has certain Guangzhou characteristics and many people take photos there.
Liwan Park is really a very down-to-earth scenic spot, without overly commercial settings, full of the cultural characteristics of the old Xiguan. There is a teahouse called Shuiyunfang in the scenic area, which is very distinctive and has a Lingnan retro style. It is really pleasant to sit inside and taste a pot of rose tea when you are tired of shopping.
Liwan Lake Park is a lake-themed park that best reflects the elegance and beauty of the southern country. It is located in the Pantang area of Liwan Bay, Xiguan, Guangzhou, east to Longjin West Road, south to Xiguankou, west to Huangsha Avenue, and north to Zhongshan Eighth Road.
I discovered Liwan Creek because of the big stone symbolizing Liwan. There are residential buildings on both sides of it. At first glance, I thought the stone was the name of the community. When I got closer, I found that there was a different world inside and many ancient houses. It turned out that Liwan Creek is also a famous attraction in Liwan. It feels like walking on the streets of Guangzhou. Although they are simple and unpretentious, they are all attractions with historical stories.
[History] The history of Litchi Bay can be traced back to more than 2,200 years ago when Guangzhou was first established. According to legend, in 206 BC, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, sent Lu Jia to Guangzhou to persuade Zhao Tuo to surrender. At that time, Lu Jia was stationed in today's Xicun, built a mud city, and planted flowers, lotus roots and lychees by the river, and began to manage this scenic spot, hence the name "Litchi Bay".
【Location】In the Xiguan Pantang area of Liwan District, Guangzhou, near the Xiguan Mansion
[Transportation] It is a long way to take the subway, so it is recommended that you take the bus. There are buses 8, 55, 61, 66, 74, 226, and 541. Get off at Sangong Station and walk 80 meters along Fengyuan Road to see the famous sign of the "Litchi Bay" stone.
After passing the big stone, you will see the Liang Family Ancestral Hall on the right. Unlike other ancestral halls, the Liang Family Ancestral Hall is the most lively one I have ever seen. A banner for the Dragon Boat Festival cruise has been hung at the door. Lion heads and drums are placed on both sides of the entrance. There is also a table of people eating inside. It feels like someone else's home, so I didn't dare to go in. There are many locals here on weekends, including the elderly with children and young people with babies. Here you can really experience what "Ten Miles of Litchi Bay, Thousand Years of Xiguan Love" means.
Actually, it's not bad, breathing fresh air, suitable for all seasons, but most of the elderly aunts and uncles, experience the Xiguan style, occasionally listen to Cantonese opera, sit on the stone bench and enjoy the scenery! Nearby is the antique city, a street of old brands, or you can walk towards Changshou Road to reach Shangxiajiu, where you can eat, go shopping and buy things!
I mainly wanted to eat ice cream from Chengyu Ice Cream Shop, so I visited Litchi Bay. The water is not very clean and has a smell. There is nothing to see during the day, but it should be nice at night when the lights are on. It happened to be a rainy day, so I didn't go into the Xiguan House Museum. I walked around the surrounding area and came back. There is also a four-faced Buddha inside, and many people come to worship. There is also a street of old brands on Longjin West Road, which basically sells specialties, but I didn't visit much because I was afraid of heavy rain.
There is nothing special about Litchi Bay itself, but there seems to be a floating flower market before the Chinese New Year, which seemed to have closed when I went there. The surrounding buildings are very distinctive. This is a relatively old urban area with many arcades. I thought arcades were only found in southeastern regions such as Fujian and Taiwan. It is worth a visit.
Litchi Bay is a famous scenic spot located in Liwan District, Guangzhou. It has a long history and still retains the flavor of the old Xiguan. It is definitely worth a visit.
Tour time: 2-3 hours. You can take a boat at your own expense to slowly tour Litchi Bay. The old buildings here are still preserved. The special delicacies are bowl cake, water chestnut cake, water chestnut cake, and boat porridge.
After a walk around, there are many time-honored food shops outside, with delicious food such as three-sauce rice rolls, traditional rice noodles, fried wontons and other Xiguan specialties.
Transportation: Take the subway to Zhongshan 8th Station Exit B, or take the bus: Pantang Station, Zhongshan 8th Road Station, Shilu Station, Pantang Station
I heard that old Guangzhou people would recommend coming here, so I came to see it. The architecture is very distinctive, and there are many locals relaxing here. I was lucky to listen to Cantonese opera, but it was late and I didn't go to the museum. I heard that it is the most worthwhile because you can understand the Xiguan culture. In general, it has characteristics, but it is not worth a special trip
It's a big park with free admission. There are a lot of people. Many elderly people do morning exercises. There are also performances by old artists. It's recommended to go there at night. You can take a boat.
A typical Lingnan garden. In this December, Guangzhou is still warm as spring. The water in Litchi Bay Park is the clearest I have ever seen. If you don't believe it, you will know it when you go there.
There is a small river in the middle, with a wide variety of snacks on one side of the river and some quaint buildings on the other. The bustling business scene reflected in the river really looks like the bustling scene of an ancient market imagined in one's mind.
Liwan Lake Park is my favorite among all parks, probably because it has a bit of history. I don't know why I can't remember what the park looks like, and the second time I went there it seemed different from the first time. There are small woods and stone benches, where you can dance and kick shuttlecocks, bridges and flowing water, and a street of traditional snacks.
Litchi Bay is also called Litchi Bay Creek. Strictly speaking, Litchi Bay Creek is not an isolated river, but a general term for the criss-crossing water systems in the riverside wetlands in the west of Guangzhou City, today's Liwan Road, Zhongshan Eighth Road, Huangsha Avenue (northern section), Duobao Road (west section), and Longjin West Road.
Speaking of the history of Liwan, it has been more than 2,000 years. It is said that in the era of Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, people had been planting lychees, opening lotus ponds, and planting lotus roots, water chestnuts, water caltrops, shiitake mushrooms, and bamboo shoots along the creek bay. Over time, a pleasant and wild, enviable rural landscape scroll of the western suburbs of Guangzhou was born. Litchi Bay is rich in lychees, which has been recorded in the Jin Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, a "lychee garden" was built. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Southern Han Dynasty, which ruled South Guangdong, built the "Changhua Garden" at Litchi Bay and planted "red lychees" everywhere, grandly opening the prosperous period of Litchi Bay. Liu Chang, the last emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty, who was blessed by the shade, held a "Red Cloud Banquet" here every hot summer, inviting guests from all directions, ministers and officials to drink and have fun for ten years! It can be said that "the red cloud feast after the red dust, more than 200 years of lychee abundance", extravagant and gorgeous, enjoying the glory. In the Ming Dynasty, due to the continuous expansion of the water system, the winding Xichuan stream has become a magnificent river network, so the water of Liwan River rushed to the surface of Baietan River, which made the bustling Lizhi Bay more beautiful and transformed into a vast water village - "Liwan Fisherman's Singing" was listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Guangzhou. In the Qing Dynasty, it became famous as "Haishan Xianguan". In modern times, especially after the 1920s, many pleasure boats and yachts appeared. On every summer night when lychees are red and lotus is fragrant, and when the moon is bright and the wind is clear, the water ripples slowly in the swaying and blinking of branches like charming shadows. Tourists sit in the Eight-Bridge Boat and on the river boats, shuttling back and forth in the beautiful Litchi Bay. On one hand, they sit by the water and enjoy the fragrance of lychees and lotus fields along the way, and on the other hand, they taste lychees, watermelons, as well as fish porridge, boat porridge, fried snails and other local snacks... As a result, Litchi Bay has become a paradise and a fairyland on earth in the hearts of the people.
Actually, it's really good. I live nearby, and I sometimes come here to run at night. There are many old Guangzhou uncles and aunts, of course, there are also young men and women. I once met 3 girls playing badminton. I got the WeChat of one girl, but unfortunately I didn't contact her much later. It's also quite comfortable to blow the wind at night. It's a Guangzhou feature, worth a try.
If there is a place that best represents the charm of Guangzhou, it must be Litchi Bay. Every flower, grass, water and boat here has a strong Lingnan flavor, which embellishes the old city of Guangzhou with a gorgeous coat. Transportation: Take the subway line 5, exit Zhongshan Baxia, find the sign at the entrance of KFC, and walk about 15 minutes along the sign.
There is not much fun in the park, it is just an ordinary park, the environment is OK, the entrance of Pantang Road is a food street, gathered with all kinds of Guangzhou food, you can eat as much as you want.
A place I passed by by chance, a park in the city
Litchi Bay is cool and comfortable at night. I had a lot of fun with my boyfriend because it felt like a paradise in Guangzhou. It is worth a visit.
The stinky river in the past has been renovated and is now well worth visiting on a boat trip. There are many delicious restaurants nearby.
The boat porridge in Litchi Bay is very famous, and there is a food street nearby. Foodies can go there.
After the renovation of the area around Litchi Bay Park, not only has the water quality improved, but the area around the park has also become a must-see attraction for tourists. For scenery, the park itself and the nearby Litchi Bay Bridge, there are also boat shows during the Cantonese Cultural Festival; for food, there is Panxi Restaurant (but the food is really average), and there are various snack shops nearby, the most famous of which are Pantang Wuxiu and Ma Ti Cake. The Lingnan characteristics inside the park are great, there are boats and spontaneous group performances of Cantonese opera.
Boat porridge is delicious~~~ It feels especially suitable for taking a walk, reading, very quiet and comfortable
The scenery is beautiful, there are old people playing the piano, it is beautiful
Litchi Bay is a park, but this park is bigger and has nice scenery. There is a porridge shop there that is pretty good, and the name is quite literary, haha.
Very rubbish like the square, free of charge, in the city
It feels so-so, Yuexiu Park is much better than it
Why must I visit Litchi Bay Park? Because I love watching an American TV show called AMAZING RACE. Its first stop in 2014 was in Guangzhou. Foreigners played shuttlecock under the banyan tree in Litchi Bay Park. They practiced Tai Chi in Chen Clan Academy and it was a relay station in Shamian. So as an AMAZING RACE fan, I must visit these three places even if I am in a tight schedule. Litchi Bay Park is a good place for Guangzhou people to relax. Basically, there are few tourists and many locals.
Old Guangzhou, new flavor in the old city!! The newly developed Litchi Bay is getting cleaner and tidier, and it also retains the feeling of the old Xiguan.
Litchi Bay Park was replanned and designed in recent years. There are cruise ships, many traditional snacks nearby, and a stage, which is very Cantonese!
I went to Litchi Bay Park around noon. There were small bridges, flowing water, and rows of Xiguan mansions. A lot of Guangzhou market culture gathered here, and the cruise ships and operas were all very interesting.
Except for buying handicrafts, souvenirs and food, you don't need to spend money here. So it's not cost-effective. The scenery is beautiful, you can go and see it, a good place for leisure
Guangzhou Litchi Bay Park is a leisure park and also a park with Lingnan characteristics. Taking a boat tour of Litchi Bay Park is a major feature here.
Litchi Bay is rarely mentioned in travel guides. It was recommended to me by my friends in Guangdong. Along the river, there are some old houses and some small shops. It can be said that it has a more folk style.
The river is connected to a large lake. If you want to walk the entire way, it will take about 2 hours.
A very famous park in Guangzhou Xiguan, with a long history and human charm. In the past, many people picked Pantang Wuxiu (water chestnuts, lotus roots, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts) here, and now water chestnut cakes made from water chestnuts have become local specialties here. There is a slightly older teahouse inside, and there are still many local old neighbors patronizing it. There is also a time-honored teahouse Panxi Restaurant next to it, which is also patronized by many local old neighbors. Panxi Restaurant is famous for its gardens and dim sum. In addition to these two teahouses, there are many teahouses near the park, which fully reflects the morning tea culture of Guangzhou. On the left side of the park is Litchi Bay, where the river is green and the lychees are red on both sides. It has a very Xiguan style. During the Spring Festival, there is also a water flower market here, which is very lively; on the right is a souvenir food street, where you can buy local specialties and eat Cantonese cuisine, and there is also an ancient temple Renwei Temple to visit.
Litchi Bay Park is really just a park... There are many people doing square dancing, taking walks, and bringing their children. The park is also quite large, and there is a Thirteen Hongs Museum inside, which I also visited. It seems that I chose the wrong attraction...
We took a taxi from Shangxiajiu to here. When I said "go to Liwan Creek", the driver seemed unsure of our destination, so he dropped us here. There is a park on the left, and the place we wanted to go is on the right.
Guangzhou's greenery is very impressive
I saw the flower boat here in Litchi Bay. I was very excited when I saw it for the first time!
The locals say this is a must-go place for couples. I personally feel it's just average, but there are many places to eat nearby, and the famous Panxi Restaurant is nearby. There are buildings with Xiguan style. I went there during the Chinese New Year and the Lantern Festival, and took a night tour, but that's it. It's very lively.
During the Chinese New Year, there were crowds of people, but the park was less crowded and had good greenery.
The park is very large, and it is enough to spend a whole day walking around and taking pictures. It is also convenient to eat and it is not expensive. It is very suitable for leisure family tours and travel with the elderly.
Litchi Bay gathers typical Xiguan snacks in Guangzhou, which is the Xiguan specialty. Moreover, Litchi Bay is very beautiful at night! The night view is very beautiful!
Just at the old mansion in Xiguan, I groped my way to Shangxiajiu, and saw traditional houses with Lingnan characteristics along the way. The park is nice.
There are no amusement facilities in the park, and there is nothing special to visit. To be honest, there is nothing to do. It's just that for the old Guangzhou people, the city is full of concrete jungles and there are not many parks, so this is a good place for them to take a walk on weekends or after dinner. The whole park has a lot of water and trees, and the air is relatively good. Many uncles and aunts are singing Cantonese opera. Another special thing is that in Guangzhou, boat porridge is quite famous. You can eat it on any street, but there is an interesting boat porridge restaurant in this park. You eat it on a small boat. The park is close to Exit B of Zhongshan 8th Subway Station, or the bus station Pantang Station, etc.
The environment is good, there are many tourists, and many people who should be nearby residents. You can come and take a walk when you have nothing to do.
This park was built in the past two years. No tickets are required. It is a good place with customary characteristics. There are also many special Guangzhou snacks nearby. You can try them.
It’s also interesting to watch the birth of “this attraction”!
There was an original stream in Litchi Bay. Due to the need of economic development, it was covered, and roads and shops were built on it. Decades later, the stream was uncovered and reopened, and then rectified, rectified, and rectified... After being reproduced by design masters and architectural masters, it is said that the beautiful scenery on both sides of Litchi Bay from a hundred years ago was reproduced, "a bay of green water, red lychees on both sides". Yes, it's pretty good. It is now one of the new eight scenic spots in Guangzhou. You can come and have a look. It is also a place with quite a few traces of Guangzhou's history - recommendation from Guangzhou locals
