Xuefu Park is located between Xuefu Street North, Junmin Road and Tiyu Road, facing south. As a key construction project in Taiyuan to create a national garden city, designers and engineers have made great efforts to build Xuefu Park into an educational theme park with a scholarly atmosphere, which not only improved the urban flood control standards, but also absorbed many cultural elements such as Shanxi's educational history.
Xuefu Park covers an area of 2 1.04 hectares, of which 8.47 hectares is Wucheng flood control and disaster reduction pool, which is a well-known central lake in the park. Many tourists often row boats in the lake, enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides and experience the fun of swimming in the lake, but few people know that the lake was built for flood control. Before the rainstorm, the park will drain most of the lake and open the culvert. When it reaches a certain storage capacity, the water in the lake will be discharged downstream through the channel and finally enter the Fenhe River. Taking advantage of the natural advantages of Taiyuan's steep slopes, the flood buffer pool gathers the city's water in one place. This design adapted to local conditions is really original. Xuefu Park can not only prevent floods and disasters, but also provide a beautiful environment for citizens, integrating cultural taste, green ecology and leisure and entertainment.
Xuefu Park is full of rich scholarly atmosphere, and the main entrance of the park is modeled after the arched door of the main entrance of Shanxi University Hall. Entering from the main entrance is the "Champion Bridge". After crossing the bridge, you can see the classic works such as "Four Books", "Five Classics" and "Hundred Family Names" on the lawn by the roadside. Before moving, several big scarlet pillars came into our eyes. A closer look shows that they are engraved with The Analects of Confucius. When we walk along the tree-lined path, we can see the works of many famous poets in Shanxi. Looking down, even the gravel road at the foot is spelled with words or patterns, and the black and white stones are staggered, which is really ingenious. Walking into the park is like walking into the palace of words and art.
The park has lush vegetation, and sports equipment such as horizontal bars, parallel bars and treadmills are readily available. Those chess tables attract the old people around them, and the children who like to play also like boating in the lake. Even the old people who dance square dance think it is a treasure. This makes Xuefu Park an indispensable and famous "scenic spot" in Taiyuan.
The beauty of Xuefu Park is a long story. I hope you can take the time to go to Xuefu Park in person and feel the beautiful scenery and unique cultural atmosphere here.
