Yi Ten-Month Solar Calendar Cultural Park
彝族十月太阳历文化园
A cultural park themed on the Yi people's Ten-Month Solar Calendar, with a solar calendar sculpture altar and a torch square that serves as one of the main venues for the Torch Festival.
The Yi Ten-Month Solar Calendar Cultural Park, also called the Solar Calendar Park, lies on Solar Calendar Avenue on the northern outskirts of Chuxiong city, about 3 kilometres from the centre. The park is themed on the ancient Yi Ten-Month Solar Calendar. At its centre is a sculpted solar calendar altar, surrounded by a torch square, a gourd corridor, a gourd lake and an ethnic sports arena. On ordinary days it is a leisure park for locals. During the Torch Festival, the park hosts a fire-offering ceremony and large-scale celebrations. Admission is about 10 yuan on ordinary days and about 15 yuan on public holidays (prices vary, so check on site). You can combine a visit with the Yiren Ancient Town and Fu Pagoda in a single day.
