[2024 Taiyuan Attraction] Travel Guide for Yingze Park (Updated Sep)

How can you travel all over China without traveling all over Shanxi?

Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province, is a special place. Due to work reasons, I have visited Taiyuan many times. This city has a profound cultural heritage and numerous ancient buildings, making it worth multiple visits to savor slowly. Firstly, if you take the train to Taiyuan, you will definitely be impressed by Taiyuan Railway Station. Although this old station is not as grand and magnificent as many other stations across the country, it always gives a sense of simplicity, elegance, and grandeur. The font of the characters 'Taiyuan Station' is also different from most stations nationwide, giving a unique first impression. This symbolizes the quality of Taiyuan, a city that combines classical and modern elements. I have seen Taiyuan Station under the morning sunlight and in the evening when the lights first come on. I have also saved many different impressions of Taiyuan Station on my phone. Next time, when you visit Taiyuan with friends, make sure to capture your presence at Taiyuan Station. Taiyuan is known for Jinci Temple, but besides Jinci, there are actually many other ancient buildings. Yingze Park is also very distinctive, with many ancient buildings scattered throughout the park. In the morning, you can stroll on the track, and in the evening, walk through the park, breathing in the fresh air. It is a kind of enjoyment amidst the busyness. However, the park also has a lot of mosquitoes🦟.

Yingze Park after the spring rain

Yingze Park is named for its location outside the Yingze Gate of the ancient city of Taiyuan. It borders Yingze Street to the north, Qingnian Road to the east, Nansha River to the south, and Jiefang South Road to the west; it is a large comprehensive park in Taiyuan City and also one of the important places for the people of Shanxi Province to rest, visit, gather during festivals, and engage in cultural and entertainment activities. The landscape of Yingze Park is mainly based on plant landscaping, combined with the traditional pattern of landscape gardens, using classical elements and traditional gardening techniques, taking into account the landscape style, traditional culture, and the needs of citizens for park visits, forming a vibrant and memorable urban park. The park has more than 420,000 plants of over 180 varieties, complemented by lakes, hills, dense forests, rockeries, fountains, etc., and is also equipped with more than 12 garden buildings such as bridges, corridors, pavilions, and ancient architectural clusters. The exquisite ancient buildings such as Wangyue Pavilion, Guanlan Pavilion, Wangyuan Pavilion, and Tianxiang Platform, with their Ming and Qing style garden architecture and courtyards, highlight the strong characteristics of the Ming and Qing styles. Paired with lake and mountain views, plant screens, and varying heights and clear layers, visitors can stroll and enjoy the small bridges and flowing water, the deep courtyards, or climb high to appreciate the panoramic view of the park. Entering Yingze Park after the spring rain, one is greeted with a vibrant atmosphere, the fragrance of flowers permeates the fresh air, and the sounds of singing and laughter echo from the depths of the flower bushes. The continuous stream of people taking photos with the flowers makes one feel as if they have entered a world of flowers and green forests. Walking along the fitness trail, one feels refreshed and reluctant to leave. Please take the time to go for a walk and see Yingze Park.

Mountains, rivers, pastoral scenes, forests, and gardens, all appreciated within a single park

After a summer business trip to Taiyuan, I was fortunate to visit Yingze Park on a rainy afternoon, where I experienced the beauty of mountains, rivers, pastoral scenes, forests, and gardens, all within one park. I listened to a live performance by a singing group and spent a delightful afternoon 😊

Taiyuan Park Flower Viewing → Yingze Park

The renovated Yingze Park is really lovely! It has the charm of Suzhou gardens, with many cultural landscapes and a greater variety of flowers. Currently, there are peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, Yulei plums, forsythias, and winter jasmines in bloom. Soon, crabapples and green peaches should also bloom. It would probably take about 2 hours to take a leisurely stroll through the entire park. There are peony gardens, rose gardens, tulip gardens, and wisteria trellises, but these flowers will probably bloom later. There's a dock and pleasure boats, and the lake is quite large. There were no boats on the lake when I visited, so I'm not sure if the boat rides are not yet available. I heard that the old elephant slide is still there, but I couldn't find it this time. I'll definitely go again! Taiyuan, Shanxi

Perhaps not stunning enough, perhaps not prosperous, but the beauty of hometown can never be replaced by a distant place.

On the National Day Mid-Autumn Festival, the two festivals are on the door, and the Yingze Park is reopened after the renovation. It has attracted countless new visitors to see a new look, and there are many people coming and going. In the autumn of October, the flowers bloom in red, and the arrogant autumn winds are like fire. Even if the snow falls in the future, I will leave the heart to the sky. The meteorite trail passes through, and there are happy people in the veranda, or sing or chat, and relax in the holidays.
