The park is a part of the Southern Song Dynasty's Royal Garden before. After liberation, the park covers a total area of 300 areas by renovation and enlarging. It is a wonderful leisure place with the green willow leaves and orioles warbling. In the spring, the vernal breezes stroke the willows, their branches sway gently, bending over to kiss the rippling water. Walk in the garden, the orioles singing, the willows dancing, what a wonderful time it is. Now the park is combined by three gardens: Orioles Singing Garden, Friendship Garden and Collected Scenery Garden.
The eastern south of the Garden is served as a traditional public entertainment site. An open stage is built there. It is a good place for Hangzhou citizens and tourists to enjoy themselves. In the Summer and Autumn, the garden is served as an “evening garden”. The lanterns exhibition, the traditional folk performance and cinema attract a lot of visitors every night.
The park locates on the Nianshan Road of West Lake District, now is one of the views along the south bank of the West Lake. |
