Dongjiu Lakeside Park
东氿公园
An open park on the lakeshore of Dongjiu, a lake in the new town of Yixing. Lakeside boardwalks, lawns, and the city skyline make it pleasant for evening strolls and bike rides.
Dongjiu is a large lake east of Yixing's city center. Together with Tuanjiu and Xijiu to the west, it is known as the 'Three Lakes.' Dongjiu Park stretches along the western shore of the lake, with a long wooden boardwalk, waterside platforms, a lawn plaza, and a loop greenway around the lake. Behind it rise the towers and cultural venues of Yixing's new town. In the evening, the sunset over the water and the night views are very pleasant. The park is also good for cycling and for flying kites with children.
The park is free to enter. A visit takes about 1 to 2 hours. It is in the eastern new town, reached by taxi or bus. It suits visitors staying in the urban area who want a post-dinner walk.
