Yingze Park
迎泽公园
A long-established comprehensive park in the city center, where lakes, the Sutra Pavilion, and boat rides are top choices for locals to relax.
Yingze Park is located on the south side of Yingze Avenue. Built in the 1950s, it is the largest comprehensive park in downtown Taiyuan. The park features several lakes of various sizes, the Seven-Hole Bridge, a Sutra Pavilion relocated from a Ming-dynasty temple, and reconstructions of the Eight Views of Jinyang. Visitors can go boating, enjoy the flowers, or take a stroll. Admission is free. It is within walking distance of Da Nanmen Station on Metro Line 2 and not far from Liuxiang and Bell Tower Street, making it a good place to rest after exploring the old town.
