Bishagang Park Autumn Family Day Trip Bishagang Park in autumn is like a palette of colors, tranquil and beautiful, making it a perfect destination for a family day trip. Morning: Encounter the Beauty of Autumn Ginkgo Avenue Stroll In the morning, the sun is just right. Enter the park through the south gate and head to Ginkgo Avenue. The golden ginkgo leaves hang like little fans on the branches, and the ground is covered with a thick layer, like a golden carpet. Stroll with your child, listening to the rustling of fallen leaves underfoot, as if you are in a fairy tale world. You can play a "find the largest ginkgo leaf" game with your child to stimulate their observation and exploration skills. Flower Viewing Area Adjacent to Ginkgo Avenue is the flower viewing area, where chrysanthemums are in full bloom in autumn. The colorful chrysanthemums come in various shapes, some like hydrangeas, others like strands of hair. Guide your child to appreciate the beauty of chrysanthemums and explain their frost-resistant qualities, fostering resilience in your child. This is also a great place for photos, with chrysanthemums as a backdrop for beautiful pictures of your child. Noon: Fun Picnic in the Park Choose a lawn, lay out a picnic mat, and enjoy a joyful picnic time. Prepare some of your child's favorite sandwiches, fruits, cookies, juices, and other delicacies. During the picnic, share autumn stories with your child, such as the legend of the Mid-Autumn Festival and why leaves turn yellow in autumn, to enhance parent-child communication. You can also encourage your child to invite nearby playmates to share food, fostering their social skills. Afternoon: History, Culture, and Fun Experiences Northern Expedition Martyrs Monument After the picnic, head to the Northern Expedition Martyrs Monument. With reverence, tell your child about the heroic deeds of the Northern Expedition, helping them understand the hard-won peace and planting the seed of patriotism in their hearts. Teach your child to remain quiet and solemn in front of the monument, paying tribute to the martyrs. Children's Play Area Finally, visit the children's play area, which features a carousel, a small train, slides, and other amusement facilities. Let your child play freely and express their nature. Parents can join in, riding the carousel with their child, accompanying them on the small train, and spending a wonderful afternoon filled with laughter. During the autumn family day trip to Bishagang Park, children can connect with nature, experience the beauty of autumn, learn about history and culture, and find joy and growth in play, creating precious parent-child memories.

🕹️Located in the prosperous area of ​​the central urban area of ​​Zhengzhou, adjacent to the Zhengzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, it was formerly the cemetery for the fallen soldiers of the Northern Expedition. General Feng Yuxiang named it "Bishagang" with the meaning of "red blood and red heart, blood in the yellow sand". 🏞️The park covers an area of ​​230,000 square meters, with a greening rate of 88.9%, a green coverage rate of 94.3%, and 🌲there are 238 species of woody plants in 66 families, 128 genera. In terms of overall planning and layout, the original regular design of the cemetery has been retained. Eight specialized gardens, including magnolia garden, palm garden, peony garden, agarwood garden, rose planting center, crabapple garden, and crabapple variety garden, have been built around the central axis and the main ring road, forming a landscape layout of "one axis, one ring, and eight gardens", and constructing four functional areas: specialized gardens, amusement parks, fitness parks, and leisure squares. It's very suitable to check in, take photos and take a walk. 🎫Tickets: None 🎡Tickets: charged separately ⛳Park address: No. 31, Jianshe East Road, Zhongyuan District, Zhengzhou (Bishagang, Metro Line 1) 🚇Transportation: The Greentown Plaza Station on Line 1 is near the west gate of Bishagang, not inside the park. ps: If you drive, you can park your car in the public parking lot opposite the west gate 🚶Personally, I think it is suitable to go in the afternoon or evening. You can take a walk and take photos after dinner. There are many people running in the summer evening.

How are the flowers in Bishagang in full bloom? Purple-leaf plum and beauty plum are basically in their last season. The pink magnolia flowers can be seen on the left side of the north gate entrance and are in full bloom these two days. White magnolia flowers are at the south gate entrance. It’s the end of the white season and not very fresh. The elmleaf plum, cherry blossoms and winter jasmine are in full bloom. Several crabapple trees facing the sun are already in full bloom, and most of the flower buds on both sides of the road will reach full bloom in two days. Other crabapple varieties are still in bud form. If you come from the north gate, go left after entering. If you come from the south gate, just walk on the right. There are many flowers on both sides of the road. If your cervical spine is not in good condition, you can effectively prevent it by coming to Bishagang to enjoy the flowers.
