Donghu Park, formerly known as "Reservoir Park", can be seen as a tourist attraction that was originally just a reservoir. It is located in the eastern part of Shenzhen and was established in 1961. It is the earliest large-scale comprehensive park in Shenzhen.
It was renamed Donghu Park in 1984 and is a provincial scenic spot in Guangdong. The whole park covers an area of 163 hectares, which can be said to be quite large. Besides, the tourist facilities and transportation in the country are perfect, and the most important point is that the park entrance fee is completely free.
Donghu Park has become a favorite weekend getaway for Shenzheners. The park was built with 12 attractions, more than 120 points of interest, and 30 various amusement programs have been developed. These alone are enough to attract a large wave of people to visit.
The park has flowers, trees, cuckoo sculptures, bonsai, ancient trees, fish, pavilions for resting, children's playgrounds, fitness parks for teenagers, walking places for the elderly, and a variety of recreational activities on large holidays. East Lake Park has become a good place for urbanites to travel for leisure.
Scenic Spot Shiji Mountain Scenic Area is adjacent to the Shenzhen Reservoir. When you walk in, you can feel the birds and flowers and lush trees. People who like to climb the mountain walk on the steps of the slate street. The winding path leads to a quiet place. There is a couplet on the Hwajeong, "Swallowing the light of the mountains from afar, the Hirase River." There is a long corridor at the back, which can be seen from a distance, as well as enjoying the scenery of the neighborhood.
The artificial lake, another favorite spot, covers 178 acres. In the center of the park, the lake flows from a reservoir with three islands in it. There is also a three-hole stone arch bridge lying over the blue waves and a water pavilion at the edge of the lake.
Greedy swaying gently in the willow branches, dancing with the wind, the landscape of the bridge is reflected in the water. The lake attracts everyone who comes to travel. In fact, the artificial lake was polluted before, only later governance. Now the artificial lake is a clear and clean lake.
The East Lake Park has many ornamental areas, such as ornamental flower garden, tree garden, ancient tree area, bonsai world, azalea sculpture garden and landscape forest. It is hard to imagine that there are so many gardens in the park and they are also well regulated. The Ornamental Flower Garden covers an area of 25,000 square meters and is dominated by flowers, trees and shrubs. The garden covers an area of 30,000 square meters, with many rare and ancient trees,*** counting more than 1,000;
The world's largest and most diverse bonsai ornamental garden is in southern China, covering an area of 30 acres. Many people from overseas also come here to play, but there is a $10 charge. The other garden areas throughout the park are also lush and green, and really mesmerizing.
Friends Park has a 23,000-square-meter fishing area and enjoys fishing. In addition to fishing, there are wigwams, garden paths, pavilions, greenery and landscaping all around, so it's a pleasure to fish here.
But fishing requires a ticket and the fish caught are not allowed to be taken away, so it is just a form of recreation.
The park has tennis courts, gateball courts, a fun zoo, an amusement park, a roller skating and sledding rink, and the Li Hong Calligraphy and Painting Museum. Don't you feel you have been y attracted by seeing this?
As for Donghu Park, I believe that all people in Shenzhen have been here before. People like it mainly because it enriches people's life, especially in a super city like Shenzhen. Usually people are especially busy and don't have time to play in the park. But still hope that people who are already tired can properly relax themselves.
