The park is large and well-organized, so it is the best place to take a quiet walk or enjoy a picnic.

There is also a famous hotel right in front of the park, so it is good to enjoy a leisurely trip along with staying there. 📝 My review: It is a little far from the city, so I visited it at first through a tour program, but when I actually arrived, it was worth visiting on my own. Even though I visited in winter, it was full of green, so I felt good the whole time I walked, and it was healing itself to be able to enjoy a leisurely walk in the quiet park. Since there is a famous hotel nearby, it is a good idea to visit leisurely while staying there. In particular, it is a good place to take a walk after breakfast at the hotel or to finish the day by taking a quiet walk in the evening. #ChinaTravel
