Tianfu Art Park: A Hidden Realm Where Lake Light Dances with Book Pages



【Location Guide】
At the intersection of Jinniu Avenue and Jinniuba Road, 1 km from Yingbin Avenue subway station. Walking through the ginkgo tunnel feels like stepping into an otherworldly paradise hidden within the city's folds—without the crowds of Kuanzhai Alley, yet harboring scenery that captivates artists.

【A Symphony of Art and Nature】
■ Realm of Light and Shadow (Tianfu Art Museum)
When architectural texture intertwines with lake reflections, the geometric lines of Zone A's contemporary art museum unfold like poetry in the twilight. With three special exhibitions rotating weekly (reservation required through "Chengdu Art Museum" account), capture flowing narratives of light and shadow between abstract paintings and the shimmering views beyond floor-to-ceiling windows.

■ Duet of Book Pages and Lake Water (Humanities Art Library)
The 360° glass curtain wall built around the lake transforms the 270° lake view into a three-dimensional book cover. 300,000 books available for borrowing with just an ID card flow with contemplative rhythms among bronze art installations. The tree-shaped bookshelves in the children's area and the 24-hour reading zone make time gentle as pages turn.

【Poetic Corners for Photography】
▷ Cloud Gallery (Sales Office Observation Deck)
Ascend to the 36-meter-high space where seven exhibition halls bloom like magnolias on the mirror lake. At sunset, when fragments of gold leap into your lens, even your breath crystallizes into film grain.

▷ Shattered Mirror at the Water-Sky Junction (Lakeside Boardwalk)
The wooden boardwalk in front of Starbucks is the Creator's private viewfinder, where willows and their reflections form a Monet-like brushstroke. Bring a tripod to capture the "golden moment" at 18:30, when the sunset is refined into amber in the rippling light.

▷ Bronze Echo Wall (Library Atrium)
The spiral staircase and bronze installations create a space-time tunnel, where the crisp sound of clothes brushing against display cases as you pass through forms a background movement to the duet of art and nature.

【Friendly Tips】
✦ Commercial facilities are scattered around the lake like stars; bringing a picnic mat is recommended for enjoying quiet moments
✦ Folk music concerts are held on the first Saturday of each month, with lakeside cafés offering special "Ginkgo Lattes"
✦ Avoid Mondays when museums are closed; the light between 14:00-16:00 in spring and autumn is best for photography

Let art and lake breezes weave a Chengdu memory for you, where you'll discover the city's little-known romantic folds in the dialogue between bronze patterns and lake ripples. Chengdu Tianfu Art Park
