Zijingshan Park is one of the large parks in Zhengzhou with a beautiful environment. It is a good choice for those who want to relax on weekends.
Of course, tourists who come to Zhengzhou can also take some time to experience it here.
Features: Jinshui River, pigeons, ancient architecture gardens, lotus pond
Visiting time: 2 to 3 hours
Best season: summer and autumn
Introduction: Zijingshan Park was built in 1958 and is named after the old city ruins of the Shang Dynasty in the park. Since the Jinshui River flows through the park, the park is divided into three parts: east, west and south. You can visit them separately or continuously. The plants in Zijingshan Park are mainly shrubs and flowers, highlighting their exquisite and elegant characteristics.
Tour guide: The East District of Zijingshan Park is adjacent to Zijingshan Road, and I have always believed that it is the main entrance of the park. The East District is not large in area, and consists mainly of a small hill and a pavilion in the middle, from which you can climb up and see far into the distance. On the north side of the hill is a dovecote, where hundreds of white pigeons are raised. If you are interested, you can feed the pigeons or take photos and check in. On the westernmost side there is a sports and leisure area where you can play table tennis and badminton, which is also nice to exercise at the same time.
The West District is relatively large, and a large part of it is occupied by lotus ponds. If you come here in summer, you can see a pond full of lotus flowers and beautiful scenery. Although it is autumn now, the pond of withered lotus leaves has a unique flavor. Of course, don’t forget to take a beautiful photo here.
The southern area is characterized by its tranquility and seclusion. The trees here are very lush, and when you are in it, your heart will become peaceful. In addition, there is another highlight here, that is Mengxi Garden, a small garden. There are several ancient wooden buildings and a pond. Walking among them is a great experience. It is definitely a place not to be missed.
Ps: You can see young ladies wearing Hanfu taking photos here.
