Riverside Park

Located on the south bank of the Qujiang River, Riverside Park is bordered by North Ring Road to the south, the Traffic Police Brigade Office Building to the east, and West City Park to the west. Stretching approximately 1,800 meters long with a width ranging from 35 to 250 meters, the park covers a total land area of 110,000 square meters. The breakdown of its space is as follows: 4,000 square meters for buildings, 65,000 square meters of green space, 35,000 square meters of paved areas, and 6,000 square meters of water features. The total investment stands at roughly 30 million RMB.

Designed by Hangzhou Landscape Architecture Design Institute and constructed by Shanghai Municipal Landscape Engineering Corporation, the entire project took 160 days to complete. The park features ten functional zones: Children’s Fun Garden, Bright Moon Cove, Verdant Waters Pavilion, Heavenly Fragrance Studio, Emerald Light Tower, Sundial Platform, Rock Stack Garden, Secluded Quiet Valley, Surging Boats Rapids, and Dragon Roaming Everywhere. It is an open urban park integrating leisure, culture and entertainment, and also the largest urban landscaping project in terms of investment since the county was reinstated as an independent administrative region.

Equipped with a maze, sand play pool, twelve Chinese zodiac sculptures, and a large double pavilion, this zone serves as a dedicated playground for children.

A natural river boulder measuring 42 meters in length and weighing over 1,500 tons is the centerpiece here. Natural springs and flowing water run over the stone, surrounded by mist spray systems. When the mist is activated, the area is shrouded in ethereal fog with gurgling streams running through.

Built in the style of traditional Jiangnan folk residences, it offers visitors a tranquil spot to taste tea and relax.

This zone primarily showcases the unique catering and food culture of Longyou.
