Xiamen Zhongshan Park: A Green Treasure in the City
🎉Whenever Xiamen is mentioned, people always think of popular attractions like Gulangyu Island and Xiamen University. But today, I want to take you to a low-key yet storied place—Xiamen Zhongshan Park.🌿
🌸As soon as you step into the park, it feels as if the whole world has quieted down. Everywhere you look, there are lush trees and flowers gently swaying in the breeze. That tranquility, that comfort, seems to make one forget the hustle and bustle of the city and find inner peace.🍃
📸Strolling along the path, you'll discover many hidden photography spots. Ancient pavilions, winding lakeshores, and the reflections in the lake—each spot is like a beautiful painting.🖼️
🍵The park's teahouse is also a place not to be missed. Order a pot of tea, sit by the window, and enjoy the view outside, savoring the rare leisure time. It's as if time slows down at this moment.🍵
🎈This is not just a park, but also a place that carries the history and culture of Xiamen. It is said that many significant historical events have been witnessed here. Walking through it, it's as if you can hear the echoes of history.🏛️
🌈If you're someone who enjoys outdoor activities, then Zhongshan Park is your paradise. In the morning, you can come here for a jog or to practice Tai Chi; in the evening, you can bring your family for a walk or to fly kites. No matter who you are, you can find your joy here.🏃
💡Lastly, I want to say that Xiamen Zhongshan Park is not just a tourist attraction, but also a place where you can slow down and feel life. If you haven't been here yet, I highly recommend that you come and experience its charm.💖

Tokyo is not the only city with a charming night, the nights in Xiamen are also very romantic
Zhongshan Park, the forever charming Xi'an Road is the little street I always stroll along after work.
You can enjoy a slightly tipsy drink at the stalls that open early and close late.
There's also the joy of brewing tea around a stove.
Watching the street scenes and lights at each spot.
They soothe the soul that's been worn down by sales during the day.
May you have sweet dreams😘

Turning around, the third area outside the park is completely subtropical
Tall royal palms reaching into the clouds
Sitting by the lake, enjoying the refreshing breeze

Warm & romantic winter
During the Spring Festival, at Exit 4 of Zhongshan Park subway station, there are several flourishing golden acacias. When I went to shoot in the morning of the second day of the first lunar month (this time mainly for shooting videos), I met many tourists visiting Xiamen. They took the subway to the botanical garden and were attracted by the golden flowers when they came out from Exit 4. They took photos here and kept praising the beauty of Xiamen in winter🌹
After shooting the golden acacia flowers, crossing the zebra crossing, I came to Baijiacun. The pocket park at the entrance, Lianxin Garden, is the finishing touch of urban organic renewal.
The villa at No. 42, Shentian Road, originally belonged to Huang Zhencheng, a Filipino Chinese (it is said to be Ke Qingyuan), and was built in the 1930s. During the fall of Xiamen, the Japanese invaders occupied the villa and set up their highest authority in Xiamen, the 'Xingya Institute Xiamen Liaison Department', here. It has also been the old site of the Xiamen District Court of the Republic of China and the Xiamen Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China. But what's special about this building is not just its background, but its architectural style is unique in Xiamen.
The architecture of Baijiacun is very diverse, with Western-style villas left by overseas Chinese everywhere, with various styles, standing in the streets with a local flavor. Walking in Baijiacun, you can also experience the unique charm of the collision of Chinese and Western cultures.
🗓Itinerary: Exit 4 of Zhongshan Park Station on Subway Line 1, shoot golden acacia flowers (the old villa at the exit is under renovation), cross the zebra crossing to Baijiacun——Botanical Garden——Zhongshan Park——Zhongshan Road
⏳Play time: one day

Xiamen Zhongshan Park in Fujian Province is also known as the park of Xiamen people. It was built in the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927) and has a long history. Since the completion of the park, many large-scale political gatherings have been held in this park. The original pattern of the park is a combination of Chinese and Western literary architecture with garden art. The park is full of natural landscapes and rich cultural atmosphere. However, after many historical events, the construction of Xiamen Zhongshan Park has also experienced destruction and renewal in different periods.
The park is surrounded by mountains, surrounded by short walls, and has four distinctive gates from east to west. The South Gate is a three-legged three-legged granite building with a height of 15 meters and a width of 20 meters. It is magnificent. In 1985, a bronze statue of Mr. Sun Yat-sen was erected at Nanmen Square. The east gate and the west gate are all archway-style buildings. The entrance to the east gate has the monument of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, which is 20 meters high and has the four characters of the world is the public. The upper part of the north gate is the Western European Arc de Triomphe, and the lower half is the Ming Dynasty gate-style, which is a combination of Chinese and Western architecture.
Zhongshan Park is not only a good place to play, but also a good place to take pictures. Today, the special zone wife came to take a pregnant photo, it is estimated that in a few days, I can see the baby landing! Excited and excited, I have to keep this wonderful moment!

On the last day of 2018, I went shopping with my old mother and it felt good!
I feel busy all the time, some things have been done, and some things are still far away! These days I decided to relax and be a good companion to my family!
The city where I live, recently opened the subway, but the old mother has not yet taken the subway. Today she took her out, the car stopped at SM, and the first line went straight to Zhongshan Park, the old park, very Leisure, the sun is not bad, we also had a small picnic! Then stop at Zhongshan Road, go to Pizza Hut afternoon tea, and enjoy the steak! The family is happy, or the life we yearn for is just that! People who care very much together, flat and happy!
