A stunning photo spot hidden in plain sight.
📍Huaxi Park is located at the southern end of the Shilihetan Scenic Area in Huaxi Wetland Park, separated by a road. It is suitable for those who don't have the time or energy to walk the entire Shilihetan Scenic Area. You don't have to walk that far, but you can enjoy similar scenery and play in the water.
👋As soon as you step into Huaxi Park, it's like jumping from the hustle and bustle of the city into the arms of nature. You can even see large birds flying from time to time. Take a walk along the lake and breathe in the air with the fragrance of grass and trees, and you'll feel refreshed. Especially under those big trees, it's as cool as if there were air conditioning, making it a great place to escape the summer heat.
👋There is also a rest garden in Huaxi Park, which records the visit of Premier Zhou and his wife, as well as the place where Xu Beihong got engaged and Ba Jin got married.
👋Maybe the ecology is so good that the water bodies in Guiyang are full of aquatic plants, which sometimes look a bit dirty, but if you look closely, the water is actually clear. It might be better to clean it up a bit.
