7. Jiaoxin South Dike Ancient Water Gate, this ancient water gate built during the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty, has witnessed the historical changes of Baiyun Lake. Its 6-meter-wide stone-paved gate was once the only way for Jiaoxin villagers to go to Shijing market. Although it has lost its original function, it is still preserved and has become a witness to history.
In addition, there is a 40-kilometer-long bicycle track and a 10-kilometer-long running track, with beautiful scenery along the way, making it most suitable for parent-child cycling.
Now in June, the phoenix trees in the park are blooming competitively, passionate and unrestrained, forming a series of bright spots in the park, with the most in East Lake. Under Baiyun Pavilion, the path is lined with the fiery red figures of phoenix trees, extremely beautiful, and the flowering period is expected to last until July.
