Zhongshan builds a large talent park
🦋Every time I go to Zhongshan, I will pass a bridge that looks like a butterfly's wing. This bridge crosses the Shiqi River, the mother river of Zhongshan, and then enters Changjiang Road, which is an expressway that connects with Boai Road and leads directly to the city center.
✔️Under this bridge, on the banks of the beautiful Shiqi River, a super-large talent park has taken shape and is still being continuously improved.
This is an open park. A new road has been built next to the park, extending to the end of the park. The geographical environment here is a bit similar to Wanqingsha in Nansha, and the distance is not very far. It is located at the estuary of the Pearl River system, with crisscrossing waterways and is also significantly affected by tides. The main part of the park is a wetland by the river, and many places are connected by trestles.
✔️The main entrance is found in the middle of the park. There is a sign here, a pillar made of metal material, which is white in color, with six large golden characters "Zhongshan Talent Park" written on it. There is a small square here with a low wall behind it and six big white characters "Zhongshan Talent Park" in front of the wall. The overall feeling is modern and simple, but it also seems a bit empty because there are basically no tall buildings around and the trees are not tall.
✔️There are two eye-catching buildings in the park, one is the white ecological museum and the other is the gray Qianli Tower. The two buildings are connected by a trestle. Zhongshan Talent Ecology Museum consists of two groups of bungalows, including an exhibition hall and a cafe, which is now open to the public. Qianli Tower is a peculiarly shaped building. It looks like a watchtower from a distance, but when you get closer you will find that it is made up of two walls with a staircase in the middle. Going up the stairs to the top floor, you can overlook the panoramic view of the park and see a large number of egrets foraging on the wetlands.
✔️The park has large areas of water and swamps, with some land exposed above the water in the middle. It was probably a wasteland in the past, but now it is covered with grass and planted with trees. However, the grass and trees are not lush enough, so it will probably become more beautiful after they grow up. Greenways have been built along the banks of the water bodies, and piers have been erected in some places. All facilities have been put into use, and Zhongshan people now have another great place to relax and keep fit.
✔️Zhongshan Talent Park is said to be the first talent park in a prefecture-level city in Guangdong Province. The purpose of its construction is to express Zhongshan’s respect for talents. The total area of the park is 510,000 square meters, of which 40% is water. The entire park is shaped like a Chinese character “人”, implying that Zhongshan is waiting for talents to come.
