Xiaoyaojin Park

Xiaoyaojin Park is located in the northeast corner of the old city of Hefei. It was a ferry crossing of Zhoushui in ancient times, and there were bridges and Tianjin to cross. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the park was once the private garden of bureaucratic landlords. It was successively occupied by Dou, Wang and Gong. After repair and operation, Xiaoyaojin has become a comprehensive park with beautiful environment and pleasant scenery in Hefei. The whole garden is naturally divided into east and west gardens by the water system. The park is densely populated with attractions. The East Park is a youth activity area and a children's playground, with a variety of entertainment facilities, especially suitable for parent-child travel. In the southeast corner is a zoo with rare birds and animals and a variety of aquariums, but most of the animals have now moved to Hefei Wildlife Park. In the northeast corner, there is also a village for tourists to drink tea and take a rest, and a cruise ship wharf with paddles and boats. The West Garden focuses on plant landscaping, including Plum Blossom Mountain, Peony Garden, Rhododendron Garden, Tibetan Garden, Bonsai Garden, Duxiu Peak and other scenic spots. Waiting, let people walk in the garden and feel very comfortable and relaxed. In the west of Xiaoyaojin Park, near Zhang Liao's tomb, there are often a few Lu Opera fans who gather to sing Lu Opera. Their voices are very penetrating. When you are still some distance away from them, you can hear the sound of babbling and singing, looking for this opera and moving forward. You can find fans who may be invited to sing under a tree, on the side of the road, or in a small pavilion. You can also go up and chat with them, and maybe have a chance to learn a few sentences.
