Beautiful parks, Zhongshan park, Botanical garden etc.

I could visit five beautiful parks in the last day because they are close to each other.
I walked more than 30 km that day.
Providing some information about them:

Zhongshan park: largest and oldest park in Qingdao City. It contains more than 100,000 plants and over 360 species including Kentucky coffee trees, oak trees, medicinal magnolia barks and some foreign species that are rare in China.

Jingshan park (Qingdao Mountain park, Qingdao Hill Forts Park, Qingdao fortress hill).
It's a historical park: it contains the ruins of an underground fortifications constructed by Germans.

ZhanShan Park’s Botanical Garden: It contains many medical plants and different special gardens.

TaiPingShan Park: It's a forest. The highlight is to hike up to the TV Tower.

BaiHua Park & Garden (hundred flower garden): This small but beautiful garden has evergreen trees, shade grass, and abundant flowers.
In 1995, twenty sculptures of famous Chinese Scholars, writers, and inventors were strategically placed around the park.
Freshly married couples go there to take pictures.

Signal hill park, Xinhaoshan park: It was a signal station for directing ships. It has lush vegetation and beautiful panoramic view.
(I visited this one in the first day but it fits here.)
