Bridges and Water
Willows on the Side

The park is planted with numerous trees, and as a traditional Chinesse gardern, willows are planted next to the water. In summer, you can take a rest under the trees, or seating in the gazebo. The lake here is not as large as the named "Large Lake" (contextual meaning of Dahu), because this is only the side pond.

When you walk through the water and trees, you can feel the refreshed air. There are also birds living here, while the small pond here is the home for a group on ducks. These ducks do not afraid of people, and sometimes you may find them walking next to you.

Waling out of the side pond, the view here is a lot wider. The scope in front of your eye is Dahu. There are small mountains behind the lake, which is a scenic view for you to take photographs.

There is a bridge connecting to a gazebo situated on the lake. The gazebo is 2-storied, and you can have a full view on the lake here. You may find little egrets here, and they just fly overy your views, stand next to the lake, and enjoy a slow day with you.

There is a traditional arch bridge at the center of the pond, named Jindai Bridge. This bridge connects to the opposite side of the pond, and it is renowned because of a photo taken for a photo competition.
