Linghu Park
菱湖公园
The largest lakeside park in Anqing's urban area, with an island, a zigzag bridge, and Huangmei Pavilion. Inside are Deng Shiru's stele gallery and a memorial hall for Yan Fengying.
Linghu Park lies on the northern side of Anqing's old town. It is centered on Linghu Lake and forms part of a connected scenic area with Lianhu Park, Wanjiang Park, and others, a favorite spot for locals to stroll and exercise in the morning. Inside are the stele gallery of Qing-dynasty calligrapher Deng Shiru, the memorial hall of Huangmei opera artist Yan Fengying, and Huangmei Pavilion, where visitors can learn about Anqing's calligraphy and opera culture. Lotus flowers fill the lake in summer. Admission to the park is free, and some memorial halls have separate opening hours. It is located in the city and can be combined with Daopashi and Renmin Road into a half-day walking route.
