Ganquan Park, Zhangye / 2025

Ganquan Park, Zhangye 🌳 is a peaceful spot in the heart of the city, known for its calm lake, arched bridges, and traditional Chinese pavilions 🏮. Locals come here to stroll, fly kites 🎏, and sip tea in the shade of willow trees. The park is especially lively in the mornings, when people practice tai chi, and in the evenings, when families gather by the water. From the small hills inside the park, you get charming views of Zhangye’s skyline and surrounding mountains ⛰️. While many travelers rush straight to the Zhangye Danxia rainbow mountains, Ganquan Park shows the slower, everyday rhythm of the city.
