Every spring, flowers such as Chinese roses and tulips bloom, and in autumn there are golden ginkgo leaves. It is a good place for leisurely strolls, photography and sightseeing in the city. Tour Overview Zhongshan Park is not large in size, about 600 meters long from north to south, and about 300 meters wide from east to west. Zhongshan Park is mainly to visit the historical buildings, green plants and flowers in the park. Sheji Altar The Sheji Altar is located in the center of the entire Zhongshan Park and is also the core scenic spot of the park. The Sheji altar was originally an altar where the emperors sacrificed to the gods of the earth and the five grains in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The altar was decorated with five-color soil from all over the country. This five-color arrangement is very special in ancient buildings, so you can take a good look. There are also some palace buildings and exhibition halls in the Ming and Qing Dynasties around the Sheji Altar, which can be visited and photographed. Among them, the buildings such as the Defence and Peace Square have a long history and contain stories about the rise and fall of China over the past century. You can take a good look at the introduction under the archway. Tanghuawu and Huifang Garden Tanghuawu and Huifang Garden are two small gardens with elegant layout, especially Tanghuawu, which has pavilions and waterside pavilions, like a beautiful small garden. These two gardens are now dominated by flower displays. Every spring, the flowers are in full bloom, which is very suitable for viewing flowers and taking pictures. From April to May in spring, a tulip festival will be held in the park, and the tulips planted in large areas will open up beautifully, attracting a large number of tourists to watch. In fact, before the Tulip Festival, there are still roses and other flowers in full bloom, and you can come to watch the flowers throughout the spring, which is very beautiful. Every autumn, a small ginkgo forest in the park has golden leaves, which is also a good choice for photography. In addition to viewing the landscape, there is also a concert hall in the park, where performances are often performed. There are also simple amusement facilities such as bumper cars and Yile City in the park, which can bring children to entertain. In addition, boating is available on the river behind the park.
