Linyi People’s Park (Linyi Children’s Activity Center) is rebuilt by merging the original Jinqueshan Park and Children’s Amusement Park. With a total investment of 20 million yuan, the park covers an area of 420 mu, of which the water surface area is 80.9 mu and the zoo area is 40 mu. It is one of the large-scale comprehensive parks in Linyi City.
The park is located on the west bank of the beautiful Yi River and at the northern foot of Jinqueshan Mountain. The whole park is full of lush greenery and colorful flowers. Pavilions, terraces, and waterside pavilions are exquisitely crafted. Various amusement facilities are wonderful. The park planning mainly adopts a natural layout dominated by plant landscapes and is divided into six functional areas. From north to south, they are: flower pot area, game activity area, quiet sightseeing area, animal area, water activity area, and riverside leisure area. The main scenic spots include: Lamei Garden, Cherry Blossom Garden, flower pot area, Pipa Lake, Ginkgo Garden, Rose Garden, Palm Garden, Bamboo Garden, Wisteria trellis, leisure corridor, aquarium, strange stone garden, and Lianwan Bay. The zoo in the park has more than 150 animals of more than 30 species of national first- and second-class protected animals such as lions, tigers, bears, and leopards. As of 2011, a large marine aquarium is under construction. There are nearly 20 types of amusement facilities such as self-controlled airplanes, merry-go-rounds, bumper cars, cruise ships, gliding dragons, magic dragons, and mazes. This is not only a paradise for children but also a paradise for adults. The opening hours are from 6:00 to 21:00 all year round. The specific opening hours are subject to the actual situation on that day.
