📝 Background:
Baihuatan Park is one of the old parks in the downtown area of Chengdu, established in 1953. It was originally the Chengdu Baihuatan Zoo, but due to the needs of urban development and construction, the zoo was relocated to the northern suburbs of the city, and the original site was transformed into a comprehensive park, which was reopened to the public in 1982 as 'Baihuatan Park'.
☑️ Park Overview:
The park is not small and is reasonably laid out according to landscape types, divided into several small garden areas such as Lei Garden, Hui Garden, West Garden, White Flower Garden, Guoxiang Garden, Bonsai Garden, etc., each with its own unique scenery.
🖼️ Visiting Experience:
We visited the park at the end of February, and only a few spring flowers such as wintersweet, camellia, and plum blossoms were blooming in the park. It was a bit early for flower viewing.
The park visit was very pleasant: lush forests and bamboo, artificial mountains and waterfalls, pavilions, towers, and galleries, winding paths leading to secluded spots, and without the noise of tourist groups, it presented a quiet and elegant atmosphere! It's also great for taking photos!
In Chengdu's parks, tea stalls are standard, and Baihuatan Park is no exception. As soon as you enter the west gate, there are rows of bamboo chairs and square tables under the towering trees. Further inside, by the pond, waterside pavilions, and courtyard walls, there are places to drink tea, it's up to you where you prefer to sit.
The exquisite Bonsai Garden uses flower walls and latticed windows to create scenes, with twists and turns, full of artistic conception. The garden mainly features rock and tree stump bonsai, with various postures, vigorous and robust, showcasing the unique charm of Sichuan-style bonsai.

Baihuatan Park is next to Wuhou Temple and Chengdu Sports College. Now because Jinli is very prosperous, tourists from other places generally visit Wuhou Temple and Jinli, basically there is no time to go to Baihuatan Park to sightseeing. But there are a lot of locals going, and the environment is really good.
