THE newly opened Xuezhujing Park is located in the Banxuegang Science and Technology Town in Bantian Subdistrict, Longgang District. It is an all-inclusive environment for children and adults to have fun together. A children’s playground is built at the entrance of the park where there are amusement facilities that children love, such as swings, a sand pit and a trampoline. Walking inside, visitors discover that the 142-hectare park is a lush valley surrounding the ribbon-like Tuokeng Reservoir. There are two 3,000-meter-long trails in the park: One is along the reservoir and the other is a hiking trail going up the hill. Pavilions in the park feature a modern hollow-out design where you can take a break while admiring the scenery. There is an iron tower on the hill, so you can climb its wooden staircase for a great view of the reservoir and the valley, which is really amazing. At the foot of the hill, families can have a picnic on a vast grassland, or fly kites. The picturesque hill, lake and flower scenery of the park all make it well worth a visit. Take Metro Line 10 to Xuexiang Station, and from Exit C walk east for 500 meters. (Cao Zhen) |
