Peoples Park [Wulumuqi]

This park lies in western bank of Urumqi River and its former name is Sharing Happiness Park. It is a piece of marshland originally, the old trees are verdant around it. During the Qin dynasty, it became into a sightseeing and relaxing centre for the people.

People's Park is a very nice and green Chinese Garden. Here you can find everything you expect: a pond, gates, pagodas, people doing their Taiji exercises, old men singing Chinese operas. It is a quiet place, very enjoyable in the early morning. The pavillon is said to have been the home of the Chinese poet Ji Xiaolan (JiYun 1724 - 1805), who had been banned to Urumqi in 18th century.
