The original site of the park is called Songjia Beach, low-lying and flood-prone, not suitable for farming, April 1957 to start building the park, the District People's Committee mobilized cadres, the masses **** 270,000 people to carry out voluntary labor, due to the low digging lake, on the high stacked mountains, took more than two years to build. Park to take the "Song Book - Songcourt biography" in the "wish to ride the long wind breaking ten thousand miles of waves" meaning, named "Changfeng Park". Taking the meaning of Mao Zedong's poem "send the god of pestilence" in the "sky even five mountain silver hoe fall, the ground moving three rivers iron arm shake" poem, the park's artificial lake named "silver hoe lake", man-made mountain named "Iron Arm Mountain".
The park inherited China's traditional garden art, drawing on the style of the Summer Palace in Beijing and Hangzhou, Suzhou Garden landscaping techniques, the overall layout simulation of nature, the garden landscape to the lake, the combination of water and landscape, the vastness of the lake and the 26-meter-high Iron Arm Mountain constitutes a unique landscape of the park.

3. Oceanic Underwater World
Oceanic Underwater World is located in the beautiful scenery of Changfeng Park, silver hoe lake bottom, from the park door No. 4 in, obviously the ticket office, but clearly written "visa office". Bought a ticket, but also issued a blue "passport", interesting. "Passport" written in English and Chinese "Welcome to the Oceanic Underwater World", and "name, height, date of birth, signature of the licensee," etc., in fact, do not have to fill out, the back of the The detailed guide map and vivid photos, so you have to admire these ingenuity.
The door is a simulated cabin, with seats, a hanging TV, and a small oval window. The guide said, "The undersea journey has begun, and we are now on an Eastern Airline airplane, flying to the ancient temples of the Incas and the Amazon River basin."
Out of the cabin door, in the eerie Inca music down a lot of steps, a kind of straight down to the bottom of the lake, but also a kind of walking into the ancient temple. This is the Amazonia Riverview, which specializes in some of the river's aquatic life. I saw the dreaded "piranha" date small, swarming, swimming around a white bone, scalp chills. With the general underwater world is different, the scenery and sound is particularly good, there are waterfalls, rockeries, cabins, not in addition to fish tanks or fish tanks; ears have been very realistic sound effects, the sound of waves, bubbles gurgling sound, so you seem to be in the realm. According to the introduction of the ocean underwater world is designed by New Zealand experts creative.
After the tour of the Amazon River, continue to the bottom of the lake, came to the "shallow sea scenic area". Further ahead is the "deep sea scenic area", feel obviously like to the deep sea, the water is far away from their own far away. These two areas show the sea creatures that live there.
The colorful aquariums swim around among the colorful algae and corals, and there are walruses, silver dragons, Texas leopards, angelfish, swordtails, swallowfish, catfish, and lampreys, showing off their vitality to the fullest. There were also long, fat moray eels, curled up asleep on the coral reef, looking lazy and mean.
Touch pool is a quiet and beautiful "bay", the bottom of the water is covered with crystal clear stalactites, you can use your hands to touch the starfish, sea urchins, turtles and so on. Unfortunately, a big starfish died the day before I went there, and other things are probably afraid of being touched, far away from the edge, and can not be touched.
Suddenly, I saw three transparent cylinders with a diameter of more than 2 meters and a height of one floor. These are ecological tanks, in which there are group swimmers and various marine ecological species living in the open water.
Next to the deepest, in fact, is the Changfeng Park Silver Hoe Lake bottom 13 meters deep, but give you the feeling is definitely the deep sea effect. This is the "underwater tunnel" that all underwater worlds must have. But I think this tunnel is a little short, not enough to enjoy. But it's still fun to see the sharks grinning at you and the turtles swimming so close to you. It is said that the turtles here have a sense of camera, and when there are photos, they will swim over to grab the camera.
The last stop was to see the penguins that live on the islands of Peru and Chile. I think they are far from the "gentleman penguins" that I think of when I think of them waddling around in the snow. They looked a lot like ducks, swimming around in the water, being naughty and making the water dirty and muddy. Because of the glass, tourists can not hear their screams, rely on the stereo played their real voice, sharp and noisy, as if it is very sad, I think it is better to send them to the Antarctic to go more ideal.
There is a store called "Fisherman's Wharf", which is decorated like a countryside fishing market, you can buy a variety of shells from New Zealand and Hainan, coral and other handicrafts, modeling are related to marine animals. The "Fisherman's Restaurant" is made in the shape of a boat cabin, and through the glass wall of the restaurant, you can see the panoramic view of Silver Hoe Lake.
