Lanshan park is located on the Gaolanshan
Mountain at the southern edge of the city proper. It is a newly built afforested
mountain park, with an area of 5,200 mu (346.67 hectares) stretching for
over 10 km. The park is the first artificial park in the city. The communists
themselves are proud in their conversion of this previously mostly bare
mountain into the green park that you can see today. Today, several ten
millions of tree are luxuriantly growing on the mountain. The park, perching
on the mountain at an elevation of almost 500m above sea level, contains
pavilions, halls and a profusion of trees.
The temperature of the park is generally speaking around 5 degrees C. cooler
than the city below. This makes it the ideal summer resort for those roasting
in the city proper. A trip here should take up most of your day, if you
enjoy fairly good scenery, fresh air, walking or getting away from the crowds.
Spring and autumn can get a little cold, so take additional clothing. |
