Tianjinghu Park, Tongling City

In 1972, Tianjinghu Park officially opened. The park is divided into East Lake, South Lake, and North Lake by Dike Mountain. The three lakes are connected, and there is a well in the lake that is said to connect the sky and the sea, hence the name Tianjing (Sky Well). The lake is named after the well, and the park is named after the lake. The main attractions of Tianjinghu Park include: Jiuqu Bridge, Peony Garden, Viewing Garden, Valley Stele Forest, Copper Horse Park, Copper Culture Square, and Tongtian Pavilion. Famous visitors: Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, built a house on Wusong Mountain to read and relax, which is known as Wusong Study.
