Traveler reviews
Arkent Nathanael
★★★★★a year agoAmazing park, went during December, when the temperature is not hot and not too cold (Around 20°C) Overall the park is clean, not too crowded. Perfect for morning/afternoon walk. Currently there are construction sites on going so some routes inside the park are blocked off.
Runsheng He
★★★★★8 years agoIt is a big park, compared with other parks inside the city. Walking or jogging around the lake would be fun.
