Congtai Park
丛台公园
A city landmark of Handan. Legend says King Wuling of Zhao reviewed his troops and watched song and dance here. The park's lakes make it the center of citizens' leisure life.
Wuling Congtai is said to have been built by King Wuling of Zhao during the Warring States period to review troops and watch song and dance. The surviving platform and Jusheng Pavilion were rebuilt in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and climbing the platform gives a view over the city. The park centers on Congtai and includes Wangzhu Pavilion, the Seven Sages Shrine, the Handan Forest of Steles, the Mid-Lake Pavilion and more. The lake is wide, with flowers in spring and lotus in summer, and entry is free. It is a place for Handan residents to exercise and stroll in the mornings. Located in the city center around Zhonghua Avenue and Congtai Road, it is a short walk from Handan Museum and Xuebu Bridge.
