One of the largest country parks in Guangdon – Zimaling Park

Many people love spending their weekends in country parks for picnic or hiking, as a way to stay close to mother nature. Zhongshan people are no exception. Weekends, for Zhongshan locals, mean a great time for gathering and hiking.

Zimaling Park is one of the largest country parks in Guangdong. In the Ming and Qing dynasty, it was a place for those from well-off families to enjoy a horse ride. It is named “Zimaling” because a famous horse was buried here. The park is now a place for leisure with artificial gardens and natural scenery. It is like the “green lung of the city” where birds sing in the scent of flowers and plants. Besides viewing birds and flowers, you can also have a closer look at the sculptures in the sculpture garden and stones inscribed with poems in the Moya Garden. Or, you can wear traditional Chinese garment with your companion to visit around the park for a touch of the Lingnan style.
