Nanhu Park in Xiamen Introduction

Nanhu Park is located beside Yuandang Lake in the new urban area of Xiamen. Covering an area of 16.1 hectares, it was built in 1990 and opened in 1995.
There are four scenic spots in Nanhu Park: “Yuandang Fishing Lights”, “Sitting on Rocks by the Stream”, “Yuandang Spring Dawn”, and “Lotus Fragrance in Winding Waters”. “Yuandang Fishing Lights” was originally one of the eight major scenic spots in Xiamen. In the past, tens of thousands of fishing lights in the harbor were like stars in the sky, looming and twinkling, forming the magnificent scenery of “Yuandang Fishing Lights”. In 1971, the west dyke of Yuandang Harbor was completed. Most of the sea area became the urban area. Now, high-rise buildings stand in great numbers, and the remaining water area is renamed Yuandang Lake. At night, there is a new scene of thousands of lights reflecting on Yuandang Lake.


There is a large lawn in Nanhu Park, covering an area of 7.2 hectares. It is an excellent place to fly kites. Whenever spring brings warm weather and blooming flowers or autumn has clear and crisp air, children and adults compete to fly kites here, making it extremely lively. Nanhu Park is indeed a great place for citizens to relax.
