Yangshuo Park
Yangshuo, Guanxi, 541900
Yangshuo Park, located in central Yangshuo, is a favorite hangout of local residents, who come to the park to exercise, play games such as chess or mah-jongg, sing and dance, or relax and unwind. It’s an easy place to escape the tourist crowds of West Street and to spend a few hours relaxing and enjoying life as the locals do.
The Basics
Full of trees and benches, Yangshuo Park is a great escape from the city and summer heat. There are also a number of walking trails, ponds, monuments, and pavilions in the park. The pavilion at the summit of Yangshuo Park Peak, which can be reached after a 10- to 15- minute climb, offers panoramic views of the town and the surrounding karst-dominated countryside. There’s a separate play area for children, which includes a few small arcade rides.
