Is Taiyanggong Park worth visiting? Why is it called Taiyanggong?

🌞 Lush vegetation: The park is shaded by green trees, with large areas of trees and rich vegetation. Walking along the park's paths feels like being in a sea of green, with fresh air providing a good leisure environment and plenty of oxygen for nearby residents. It is a natural oxygen bar in the city. Various flowers bloom in different seasons, adding vibrant colors and charming fragrances to the park. 🌞 Pleasant water features: The park has water bodies such as Taiyang Lake, with clear water. Wild ducks often swim in groups in the lake, and small fish swim freely in the water. Aquatic plants such as lotus flowers are planted by the lake. During the lotus blooming season, the pure and elegant lotus flowers sway in the wind, reflecting in the lake water, creating a beautiful natural picture and bringing aesthetic enjoyment. 🌞 Rich cultural heritage: It is said that the name of Taiyanggong Park comes from the name given by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, adding a mysterious color and rich historical and cultural heritage to the park. 💫 Legend: According to legend, when Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty passed by this place during his tour, he happened to see a rising sun from the east, and the sunlight cast a beautiful golden glow on the nearby village. Qianlong believed that this village was the closest to the sun, so he named it "Taiyanggong" (Sun Palace). To thank the emperor, the villagers built a temple dedicated to the sun god, hence the name "Taiyanggong." Every year on the first day of the second lunar month, people come here to worship the sun god, as folklore says that the sun's birthday is on the first day of the second lunar month. The purpose is to pray for favorable weather and a good harvest throughout the year. The seventh day of the first lunar month and the second day of the second lunar month are also days for incense offerings, with a strong incense atmosphere.
