Yaohai Park

Set up in 1990 and located in the northeastern suburbs of Hefei, Yaohai Park is the largest recreational park invested and run by farmers in Anhui Province. With a water land, a children's amusement ground, a viewing garret, a top-grade restaurant and some supporting facilities, Yaohai Park has emerged as a comprehensive travel resort in Hefei. The park, set up with a total investment of 100 million RMB (not with the cost of land counted), takes up an area of 34 hectares, inclusive of a 7-hectare water area, While ascending up to the Viewing Garret, you'll find waters around, and in distance willow twigs flicking the lake surface as if charming girls are washing and combing their hair.
 
Into full play, the park attaches great importance to the water area and many water-related recreational facilities have been erected. Water-above Leisure House is a special feature in the four major parks of Hefei. In Yaohai Park we have 30 colorful leisure houses suspended over water and each can accommodate four people. These houses dotted in the water area not only form a part of the landscape, but also offer good places for visitors to access there by boat to enjoy themselves with cool air and card playing. Here, the overhead water slides, a principal project of the Grand Water World, are up to 15 meters with 6 slides, so thrilling and exciting that attract many teenagers in summer. The sand beach waterfront here is also a great attraction to visitors who yearn for the sea.
 
Yaohai Park is green all the year round with evergreens around the lake. Plants along the path-sides here include cypress, cedar, boxwood and clusters of red-leaf plum tree, chrysanthemum and winter jasmine.  Recently, miniatures of such historical and scenic spots as the Palace Museum, Potala Palace, Tower of Yellow Crane and Luding Bridge have been put up here.
