Jincheng Park and street scene after snow

Jincheng Park was formerly known as Xigu Park. The layout of the park is well-organized. You can see the big words "Jincheng Park" on the cliff as soon as you get off the bus. The front gate is also the bus terminal.
As soon as you enter the door, you can see the carving of General Li Xi, the founder of Jincheng, standing on a horse. His eyes were staring into the distance, just like when he walked more than 100 kilometers and then discovered an area of ​​water in Xigu where the water was calm and the area was relatively large.
Therefore, it was chosen as a ferry crossing for the transportation of supplies and return of soldiers on the Western Expedition, and thus Jincheng Lanzhou came into being. And the four big words at the back are Jincheng Tangchi.
This was the original name of Jincheng at that time, and it also carried everyone’s good wishes, hoping that this military fortress would be as solid as a rock.
Behind the statue of Li Xi is the Jincheng ancient city tower full of the atmosphere of the Han Dynasty, standing on the central axis of the park. On both sides of the gate of the tower are hung huge couplets that read "Two hundred years ago, a county was established to control the river and it was a famous city on the Silk Road, dominating the west; three thousand years later, it has been an important industrial and commercial town that shines in China". On both sides are Han Dynasty pier-style towers, a symbol of inheriting Jincheng's history and culture, expressing the magnificence of the Han Jincheng.
On both sides of the square stand two large white marble reliefs, one of the ancient Silk Road and the other of the ancient Tang-Tibet Road.
The lifelike business travel team on the front of the relief and the winding map of the ancient road on the back not only show people the former glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but also tell people the glorious history of ancient Jincheng in the national historical development.
