  • I also love this place a lot. The view is great, the atmosphere is awesome and the pace is slow. You may come here to see the sunset. Suitable for family and couples to wander around. However, the entrance is a bit expensive, 80 RMB per head.
  • Do make a visit if you have some spare time in the city. Nice walk around the park and require admission RMB50 per head. Before entering to the park on your left. Is a free entry Museum to explore the Naxi minority
  • Beautiful park, worth the visit. There is an entrance fee (Old Town preservation ticket, 80rmb), but if you take one of the two other entrances (both North from the main entrance), you can avoid it. The view from the park on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is stunning.
  • Scenic park with great view of nature - few hundred years trees, crystal clear pool and underground spring, view of Jade Dragon mountain, Na-xi musium, relaxing local Na-xi people doing their morning folk dance, exercise / tai-chi, peaceful stream and numerous plants and flowers. This park also connect to Gucheng 古城walk path. Beside Jade Dragon mountain, this is another must-go place for Lijiang.
  • Pretty beautiful park with English signs giving you some information​ about the history. Also has an interesting free museum about the dongba culture. A must-see place in Lijiang.
