Yingzhou Ecological Park
Yingzhou Ecological Park is located within the Haizhu District (east of Nanzhou Road) and is often referred to as the “southern lung” of Guangzhou. The park covers a total area of 142 hectares, borders the Pearl River’s southern channel, and connects to the South China Expressway. The park features an intricate network of waterways and abundant fiddler crab burrows. It is rich in producing various famous fruits of Lingnan, especially the Shixia longan, red-fleshed starfruit, and chicken-heart wampee, which are the most renowned. The ecological environment is well-preserved.
The first phase of the park’s construction ingeniously integrates local conditions and employs distinctive landscaping techniques to reflect local rural charm, achieving a pastoral landscape effect full of streamside wildness and the fragrance of flowers and fruits, thus preserving the excellent ecological environment.
In the first phase of construction, the city, district, town, and village collectively invested over 10 million yuan, and four major infrastructure projects have now been completed, including:
1. Service Facilities: Gate plaza, rest corridors, directional guideboards, resting chairs;
2. Transportation Facilities: Main park paths, small paths, small bridges, stone embankments;
3. Management Facilities: Office and management buildings, fences, water and electricity facilities;
4. Sanitation Facilities: Toilets, trash bins, river dredging, etc. These basically meet the needs for opening to the public. The second phase will include the construction of a beach bathing area, barbecue site, rowing club, as well as various activity facilities such as an agronomy observation area and farmhouse fun zone.
Relying on its unique ecological environment and fruit tree production base, Yingzhou Ecological Park aims to become a high-quality, multifunctional ecological park that integrates production, environmental protection, scientific research, study, education, sightseeing, leisure, and recreation—where the water is clearer, the trees greener, and the fruits sweeter.
