Anyang Huanshui Park is one of Anyang's four major parks. Stretching from Zhangde Road in the east to the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway in the west, bordering Renmin Avenue in the south and the Anyang Huan River in the north, Huanshui Park is a comprehensive landscape park that showcases the Yin and Shang civilization, integrating history and culture, leisure tourism, and science education, all within its natural landscape.
The park's water bodies form a "U" shape, creating a unique waterscape. In the central and northern parts, stacked mountains create a landscape framework characterized by "mountains in the north and water in the south." Huanshui Park boasts unique topography, lush vegetation, and a natural environment, boasting over 400 cultivated plant species and over 30 bird species.
The park occupies a large area, with a European-style iron fence along the southeastern road. Climbing roses cover the fence, forming a "flower wall" that seamlessly integrates the park landscape with the streetscape. The main entrance, with its imitation antique-style architecture, is particularly impressive and harmoniously integrates with the overall park architecture, enriching the park's landscape.
The temperate monsoon climate means the park's greenery is designed based on its own environmental characteristics, combining details and surfaces, integrating trees, flowers and plants with the park's architectural landscape to maximize the greening and beautification effects. It's a great place to visit in all seasons.
The attractions of Huanshui Park include six natural scenic spots: Linchuan Jiugu, Lotus Pond Listening to Fragrance, High Platform Lansheng, Valley Smoke Bamboo, Star Island Fish Joy, and Platform Hidden Beauty, as well as four historical and cultural attractions: Guitang Bridge, Diaotai, Xiangzhang Huimeng Pavilion, and Baixiangtai. There are more than 40 celebrity calligraphy and paintings. Huanyuan Lake View has been rated as one of the new 18 scenic spots in Anyang City. It is a good place for tourists to sightsee and learn about Anyang’s history and culture. It is also the largest natural landscape garden in Anyang City.
It is recommended to play for about 2 hours.
