Yunxi Ecological Park

Yunxi Ecological Park

Many locals in Guangzhou once wondered upon their first stroll along the green recreational belt on the western side of Baiyun Mountain, “Where did this beautiful park come from?” This is the first phase of the 8.5-kilometer-long western green recreational belt project from south to north around Baiyun Mountain under Guangzhou’s “Three-Year Mid-Term Transformation” initiative —— Yunxi Ecological Park, covering an area of 30 hectares, nearly the size of three Yuantai Gardens.

Built against the backdrop of Baiyun Mountain, Yunxi Ecological Park features lush trees, birdsong, cicada chirps, and murmuring streams. A winding mountain path called Moyun Road has been created within the park, leading up to the Moxing Ridge of Baiyun Mountain, connecting three themed gardens: the Lotus Viewing Garden, the Cascading Water Garden, and the Fruit Fragrance Garden. Pavilions, corridors, ponds, and terraces of diverse styles are scattered like pearls along the mountain path. Measurements show that the negative ion concentration in the forest air along the path reaches up to 6,500 ions per cubic centimeter, making it a true ecological park.

In the Lotus Viewing Garden, the lotus pond is home to over 20 rare varieties of colorful lotuses and water lilies. Walking from the Lotus Viewing Garden into the Cascading Water Garden, built along the mountain stream, you’ll find jutting rocks that either divide the water into layers or stand alone as scenic elements on the grass. Clusters of banana trees, bamboo, and wildflowers form a natural landscape beside the stream.

After visiting Yunxi, you can also walk across Guangzhou’s first green pedestrian overpass outside the park to reach the new sports stadium across the street and experience the blend of nature and modernity in Guangzhou.
