A Forest Park Hidden in the City: Xi'an Qingliangshan Forest Park

The park is located between Dongyi Road and Zhuque Road in Shangtapo Village, Fengqiyuan, Chang'an District. The park is rich in vegetation, with mountains, lakes, and temples, featuring both natural landscapes and cultural history. It highlights the historical heritage with Sui Dynasty culture as the carrier. The main attractions include: General Pavilion (the residence of General He of the Tang Dynasty. General He, named He Changqi, joined the ranks of Guo Ziyi, the Prince of Fenyang of the Tang Dynasty, and made significant military achievements, serving as the leader of the imperial guards defending the capital Chang'an), Fengqi Square, Buddha Affinity Square, Anji Bridge (a replica of the Zhaozhou stone bridge from the Sui Dynasty), the sculpture of Emperor Wen of Sui (Emperor Yang Jian, the founder of the Sui Dynasty, was from Huayin, Shaanxi), and Daxing Lake (Emperor Wen of Sui was once titled the Duke of Daxing, and later the capital of the Sui Dynasty was named Daxing City, which became Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, the location of today's Xi'an). Also located here are the tomb of the revolutionary martyr of the Xinhai Revolution, Jing Wumu (Jing Wumu, from Pucheng, Shaanxi, joined the Tongmenghui while studying in Japan, later returned to Shaanxi to organize and lead the anti-Qing struggle, and planned armed uprisings, being called the 'Great Pillar of the Revolution in the Northwest' by Sun Yat-sen), and the tomb of Madam Shen, the grandmother of Lien Chan, former chairman of the Kuomintang.

Drizzling rain falls as I stroll through the cool forests of Qingliang Mountain Park. This is a free park with Sui culture as its main theme. Upon entering, the first thing that catches the eye is a replica of the Zhaozhou Bridge, which is very realistic. The park is shaded by trees, with fragrant grass and the sweet scent of flowers, and the air is fresh. Although it is in the northwest, it has a feeling reminiscent of the misty rain of Jiangnan.
