Wangjianglou Park 望江楼公园
Not that famous as People’s Park but equally beautiful is the Wangjiang Lou Park, located right to Jinjiang Riverside. The park was designed to honour the female poet Xue Tao, which commemorates the Tang Dynasty poetess Xue Tao (about A.D. 768-832), the Chongli Pavilion (Wangjiang Pavilion) built in 1889, and the exotic bamboos. Xue Tao loved bamboos all her life, so her descendants planted green bamboos all over the place. With over 400 types of bamboos, the park is recognized as China’s “bamboo gene pool”.
Besides enjoying nature, the park also offers a tea house, lovely pagodas and the River View Tower or gaze at the skyline of the city.
