Yingtan Park, which was renovated with an investment of nearly 20 million yuan by the municipal government, has deeper cultural connotations and higher garden quality. The renovated Yingtan Park is open to the public free of charge, welcoming dozens of times more citizens than before, dozens of times more enthusiasm than before, and a broader mind than before.
Yingtan City has a subtropical humid monsoon mild climate with abundant rainfall, sufficient sunlight, a long frost-free period and four distinct seasons.

Yingtan is a prefecture-level city in east-Jiangxi known for its transport hub role and proximity to scenic and cultural mountains. The park is a local urban green space valued for leisure, family outings and nature in the city.
Yingtan Park is located in Yingtan City, likely within Yuehu District (the city centre area) of Jiangxi Province. To get there: take a taxi or ride-hail in Yingtan city centre; or local bus if available; walking from nearby central hotels is feasible if staying downtown.
I did not find a precise published opening schedule. Best times: early morning or late afternoon for soft light and fewer people; weekdays will be quieter than weekends.
No clear information was found about a paid entrance fee; the park appears to be a public urban park and likely free to access or with minimal cost.
Because the park appears to be free or low-cost and does not require advanced booking, you likely do *not* need to book in advance.
Plan about 1 to 2 hours for a comfortable visit: walking paths, ponds, viewpoint and maybe a snack. If you’re very leisurely or with family play time, allow up to half a day.
I did *not* find information that guided tours or audio-guides (especially in English) are available in this urban park. It seems suited for self-guided casual visits.
Great photo spots include: the ponds with lily/lotus blooms and koi reflections; the path leading to a pagoda or higher vantage point at sunset; benches or open spaces with locals dancing or playing music—which add human interest; the tree-lined paths in morning light.
There is no specific mention of night-time light shows or special tours. However, as a city park, the later afternoon/evening light could be pleasant for a stroll. Check local signage for closing times.
Local commentary suggests the park is “relaxed” and popular with families, but not overwhelmingly crowded. The least busy times: weekday mornings outside school holidays; avoid major public holidays when local families may flock there.
According to visitor comments, the park offers benches, rest areas, clean restrooms, snack stalls, and walking loops friendly for strollers. (e.g., “Parents find benches, clean restrooms, and snack stalls”.)
Yes — the park appears stroller-friendly and suitable for children, with benches and gentle paths. For elderly visitors, the shady loops and ponds make a comfortable outing. Visitors in wheelchairs or with serious mobility issues might want to check surface conditions (paved paths likely exist but may vary).
Entry appears free or low cost. For any snack stalls or boat rentals, mobile payments (WeChat Pay, Alipay) are widely accepted in China; carrying some cash is still a good idea in smaller stalls.
Nearby the park (in Yingtan city centre) there will be local restaurants and cafés; inside the park there are snack stalls. For a broader dining selection, go into town before or after your park visit.
No specific vegetarian/vegan/halal listings are available for the park; however in Yingtan city you should be able to find vegetarian-friendly restaurants; halal options may require asking locally.
Since the park is in Yingtan city, there are many hotels and guesthouses in the city centre within easy reach. Staying near Yuehu District or close to the park gives you convenient walking access.
Yes — you can combine a visit to Yingtan Park with other nearby attractions in Yingtan such as the city’s glass market, or the renowned Mount Longhu Taoist scenic area which is about 20 km away. Also the parks and waterfronts in Yingtan’s Yuehu District are within easy reach.
Near the park’s entrance or in adjacent streets you may find small stalls selling postcards of Yingtan, local snack products, little toys for children, and possibly local crafts; nothing very large-scale appears to dominate.
After your park visit you can walk or taxi into other parts of Yingtan city centre; to continue farther afield, use taxi or local bus to reach nearby scenic areas (Mount Longhu) or train station for onward travel. Ride-hail (Didi) likely works well in Yingtan.
