At Jinniu Mountain Park, visitors can enjoy hiking, exploring the scenic views, and relaxing in the natural surroundings. The park offers walking trails, nature walks, and the chance to observe local wildlife.
Fuzhou Jinniu Mountain Park, a key project in Fuzhou's efforts to create an excellent tourist city in China, is the only modern park in downtown Fuzhou. Modeled after the Jinniu Mountain, the park boasts a pristine, natural landscape, a fusion of Chinese and Western influences, and was meticulously designed by the collective wisdom of garden experts from home and abroad.
The park is designed to protect the environment by adapting to the mountain's terrain, implementing local renovations, and creating appropriate landscapes. The park plans to develop the "Green Waves and Flowing Springs" scenic area on the south mountain, the "Fragrant Flower Valley" scenic area on the west mountain, the "Niuling Spring Moon" scenic area in the center, and the "Golden Summit Pine Wind" scenic area on the north mountain. These scenic areas include a golden bull sculpture, fountains, a large waterfall, and a liftable outdoor stage at the Yingshan Pavilion Music Square.
