The red wall outside Nanjiao Park is particularly beautiful. This is a secluded and nice place, and also the largest urban park in this area. You can walk the dog in the park, drink tea, sit in the corridor by the lake and daydream, chat for a while, and take pictures by the red wall and in the doorway.
The performance stage was built on the empty dam in the middle of the park. After watching the performance for a while, we continued to walk forward. There is a tomb of Liu Xiang in Nanjiao Park.
There is an artificial lake in Nanjiao Park, and the park is connected to Jinli, so you can visit it together. It attracts many elderly people to do morning exercises here.
Exit the side gate of Wuhou Temple and you will find Nanjiao Park. Nanjiao Park is not small, with nice scenery, a lot of lakes, and some pavilions. It is free here and Jinli, so you don't need to buy a ticket.
If you want to see the cool spring scenery, then I recommend you go to Nanjiao Park next to Wuhou Temple to appreciate the gentle smile of irises by the water. This is also a good place to appreciate classical gardens, and you can experience the back garden of Wuhou Temple for free.
Nanjiao Park used to be an independent park, but now it is part of the Three Kingdoms Historical and Cultural Theme Park, which also houses the tomb of Liu Xiang.
There is a park next to Jinli, which is free and worth a visit. The building on the central axis faces north and south, which is very suitable for taking star trails.
Now it forms a park group with Wuhou Temple and Jinli, but there should still be no admission fee. The scenery inside is still good, but it does not have the strong Three Kingdoms atmosphere of the Wuhou Temple.
The park has an elegant environment, with water and trees, and also provides many entertainment facilities.
The park is lined with weeping willows and the lake is green and clear, making it a great place for locals to take a walk and relax.
The original Nanjiao Park no longer exists and has now become part of the Wuhou Temple.
Nanjiao Park is not too big, but the environment is pretty good. The greening is very good, with flowers and green grass everywhere. Many people come to the park for a walk. When I was working in Chengdu, I liked to come here to play with my husband.
The Nanjiao Park next to the Wuhou Temple is quite nice, with all the buildings along the central axis. On a clear night, you can indeed take some star trail pictures, but don’t expect too much from the city’s night sky. Due to the light pollution in the city, the lights are definitely bright but the stars are sparse.
I used to go to Nanjiao Park often when I was a kid, but now I hardly go there anymore. When I went there for the temple fair before, I found that many of the things I used to play with when I was a kid were gone.
The current Nanjiao Park has been merged with the Wuhou Temple next door, and all the amusement facilities and the slides I played on when I was a child have been removed.
There is a free street garden next to Wuhou Temple. I came to this place with few people to have some peace and quiet because there were too many people in Jinli and Wuhou Temple. However, this place is not as big as my neighborhood, so it is OK to stroll around.
Located next to the Wuhou Temple outside the South Gate of Chengdu, the park covers an area of 130 mu. The park was built in 1943 and was originally the cemetery of Liu Xiang, a military commander of the Kuomintang. The cemetery has magnificent architecture and a rigorous layout. On the central axis of more than 400 meters, there are main buildings such as the gate with relief stone tablets, the three-hole gate, the square pavilion, the multi-corner pavilion, and the Jianxin Hall.
I only went there when I was a kid, I don't know if it's still there.
This is a very old park in Chengdu. The facilities are very old-fashioned. Now it is mainly a leisure place for residents.
The only difference from other parks is that there are more hibiscus flowers here, which is the city flower of Chengdu. I often sketched there when I was a child.
It is next to the Wuhou Temple. When I was a kid, I often came here to play because my family lived nearby. During the Spring Festival, there are big temple fairs and lantern festivals here.
This park has been around for a long time. It is now merged with the Jinli Wuhou Temple. Tickets are required. Because it is close to the Wuhou Temple, there are many people.
Before liberation, the mansion of warlord Liu Xiang was heavily guarded; after liberation, it became a people's park, and after being separated from the Wuhou Temple, it no longer charged admission.
Nanjiao Park is located next to the Wuhou Temple scenic area. There are many tourists coming and going. Many people rest on the bridge by the lake. There are also residents around the Wuhou Temple who come to visit the park without tickets.
