Pearl River Park

As the name suggests, Pearl River Park is named because the park is near Pearl River and Pearl River New City in Tianhe District, which is one of the results in Guangzhou 3-year-term transformations. It was opened in 2001. From Oct 1st, 2001 to Mar. 17th, 2002, the 4th Garden Expo was held here, which made the park famous since. Now, some sites of the Garden Expo are still maintained in the park.

The major scenery of Pearl River Park is centered on a hillside, which is full of flowers, and connected to flower belts in 4 colors. It seems like a magical flower vase and a stream of flowers. On the hilltop, there is a gleaming two-story wood house—“Baozhu Building”. Flexure is valued more than directness, which applied not only to articles but also to gardens. The rise at the gate functions as a hindrance to view of the following scenes, which arouses tourists' guess and expectation of the scenes.

Garden Expos have been held 4 times in China. The former 3 expos are held respectively in Dalian, Nanjing and Shanghai. The Expo held by Guangzhou has achieved 5 No.1s in sights, flowers, participation units, countries and period (2 months), which is also the largest one.

“Baozhu Building” is the summit of the park, whose stele is the masterpiece of Li Xiongcai—one of the scholars in Lingnan School of Painting. Tourists can have a further view upon a higher floor. In Baozhu Building, tourists can have a bird view of the whole scenes in the park, which is higher in northeast and lower in southwest, centered on Kuailu Lake. The west half includes magnolia, osmanthus and palm gardens. The south is filled with flowers and evergreen lands. At the northwest corner of Kuailu Lake, there are 5 water columns pointing upwards, like Baotu Spring in Jinan, which is pleasant. North side of the hill is filled with flowers, which bring about scent breezes for the building. In dusk, the splendid night piece in Pearl River New City can be overviewed in the building. Water views in the pavilion, tea taste and greenness on the top make Pearl River Park a splendid pearl on the north bank of Pearl River Park, to interact with the zigzag bridge “crescent out of cloud”, which bring limitless charm to Guangzhou.
