Decent park for a day trip if you’re into cycling or camping. The bike lanes are well paved and go through nice shady sections. However, the camping ground was a bit disappointing — no designated fire pits and the ground was uneven. Also, the map at the entrance is confusing; we got lost twice. Overall okay, but needs better signage.
What a hidden gem! Came on a weekday and practically had the whole park to myself. The bamboo grove and the little streams are super photogenic. I brought a hammock and just read under the pines for two hours — pure bliss. If you love quiet nature time, this is the spot. Bonus: saw a deer near the wetland area!
Took my parents here for a weekend getaway and it was a solid 4-star experience. The entrance fee is reasonable (60 RMB), and the park is well-maintained overall. We especially enjoyed the swan lake area — very peaceful. Only reason I’m not giving 5 is because the food options inside are really limited and expensive. Pack your own snacks!
Honestly a bit underwhelming. The park is huge and the greenery is nice, but the facilities are quite outdated. Some trails were poorly marked, and the restrooms near the south entrance were dirty. Also, the golf cart rental is way overpriced for what you get. Good for a casual stroll if you’re already nearby, but I wouldn’t go out of my way.
Absolutely loved this place! The towering metasequoia trees are breathtaking — walking through that forest tunnel felt like being in a fairy tale. We rented bikes and cycled for hours, spotting egrets and even a few wild rabbits. The air is so fresh, it’s a perfect escape from the city. Highly recommend the Tree Top Walkway!
