CHENGDU city in CHINA..

Top Parks of Chengdu

Parks in Chengdu have quite a lot in common. At most parks we’ll be able to find people singing, dancing, practicing Chinese calligraphy and exercising. And we’ll find most parks are supplied with teahouses, gardens, historical/cultural items on display, paddleboats, and mini-amusement parks. Here is a list of the top seven parks and each park’s specialty.

Huanhuaxi Park

This park is much bigger than it seems. Located just behind Dufu’s Thatched Cottage and connected to the Sichuan Museum at Huanhuaxi you can journey into a kind of wilderness. This small forest attracts many birds for those of you who enjoy bird watching. Let’s not forget that this park also offers a lot as far as scenery, culture and history.

Also known as the Wangjiang Pavilion Park, the unique thing about this park is its wide variety of species of bamboo. There are two parts to this park; one is the Cultural Relic Protection Zone and the other part is the normal park. And of course go into the tower to get a great view of the river.
