Running Through Changsha Parks ⑥｜Jianshan Lake Park: The Weekend Energy Treasure for Workers in the High-tech Zone

Don’t want to dive into crowds on the weekend? Hidden in the heart of the High-tech Zone, Jianshan Lake Park is the "weekend recharge secret spot" for workers! No city crowds or noise, just stunning lake and mountain views, a professional track to run freely, and engineers bursting with inspiration at any moment—here, half a day can wipe away a whole week’s fatigue!

🌿 Three irresistible highlights to guarantee weekend relaxation

1. Free natural scenery, healing even when lying down

As Changsha’s second-largest mountain park, Jianshan Lake hides poetry in every corner. Listen to the gentle water sounds along the waterside boardwalk, enjoy panoramic lake and mountain views from the viewing platform, and the vast green lawns are a "weekend treasure": just lay down a picnic mat to camp, watch children run on the grass, and even the breeze feels leisurely and pleasant.

2. 7-kilometer professional track to unlock the joy of exercise

No need to rush to the gym! The 7-kilometer total length of the plastic track and greenway around the lake has a flat surface perfect for running and cycling. Step forward with the lake breeze, surrounded by greenery and water reflections, and you won’t feel tired after completing the whole route—the joy of exercise is fully charged here~

3. A "corporate backyard" full of tech vibes

Walking around the lake, you’ll often encounter engineers in work uniforms: either strolling to organize their thoughts or starting a "brainstorm" by the lake. The collision of natural charm and technological energy creates a unique scenery at Jianshan Lake, adding a special fun to your weekend time.
