Along the Qijiang River and Hengchong River, an ecological park covering about 140,000 square meters stretches its greenery. This waterfront area got a new name this year — the Shazui Riverside Parlor (Shazui Park). People say it reminds them of the untamed wilderness of the Altay region in Xinjiang.

▲Lush green lawns cover the park, with winding footpaths and several buildings scattered around.

▲Clear water, green lands, and fish darting in the shallows.

▲A lone banyan tree on the lawn adds a unique touch to Shazui Park.

▲Coconut palms, dappled shade, and boulders by the pool create a tropical atmosphere.

▲Shazui Park has become a popular spot for residents.
